create-control-manifest

create-control-manifest is a skill for Claude Code from Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios. It costs 49 tokens per session (3,311 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A concise rules document for programmers, extracted from accepted architecture decisions, technical preferences, and engine reference material. It states what to do and what to avoid for each system and architectural layer.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after architecture review to create or update the project's programming rules, especially when architecture decisions change.
Why use it?
Architecture decisions often explain why a choice was made, while programmers also need quick instructions for applying it. This turns those decisions into an actionable reference and includes deprecated engine APIs as forbidden patterns.

    Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.
    Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

create-control-manifest scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 304 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

!bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../hooks/yaml-helper.sh" resolve_config --keys review_mode,review_gate,automation

Resolved above — use as-is; --review overrides review_mode for this run. No block → defaults in .claude/docs/config-resolution.md.

Ask with the question tool. Without one, list the options numbered and end your turn to wait. A skipped or dismissed question is not an answer: ask again in plain text.

Create Control Manifest

The control manifest is a flat rules sheet for programmers: what to do and what never to do, by architectural layer, taken from the Accepted ADRs, the project's technical preferences and the engine reference docs. The ADRs say why; the manifest says what.

Writes: docs/architecture/control-manifest.md, after the user's yes. When: after /architecture-review passes and the ADRs are Accepted. Run it again whenever an ADR is accepted or revised.

Asks follow .claude/docs/automation-modes.md (collaborative always asks, guided asks on major choices, autonomous logs and goes on; automation_always_ask categories always ask).

Phase 1: Load the inputs

ADRs

bash .claude/scripts/adr-status.sh reads every docs/architecture/adr-*.md in one pass: the counts first (adrs, then accepted, proposed, deprecated, superseded, unfilled, other, no_status), then one row per ADR with its status and layer. Establish the denominator first: decide from the counts, before reading any ADR:

Counts Meaning Action
adrs 0 No ADRs. "No ADRs found — run /architecture-decision before building a control manifest." Stop.
accepted ≥ 1 Normal. The Accepted rows are the set A. Name every other ADR, with its status, in the Phase 4 preview: the user approves a manifest knowing what it leaves out.
accepted 0, some with a status No Accepted ADRs. "[N] ADRs found, none Accepted. A manifest built from Proposed ADRs would encode decisions that may still change." Ask whether to go on with the Proposed ones or stop. Never write an empty manifest silently.
every ADR no_status Malformed ADRs, not an empty Accepted set. "[N] ADRs found, none has a ## Status section, so acceptance cannot be told. Run /architecture-decision retrofit [file] on each." Stop. Never treat them as Accepted.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
