egregore: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/archive/SKILL.md

archive is a skill for Claude Code from egregore-labs/egregore. It costs 40 tokens per session (655 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for saving a prompting technique or steering pattern that produced useful AI reasoning.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to capture a successful prompt sequence or describe a reusable prompting pattern. It stores that knowledge for later reuse.
Why use it?
It helps you keep effective ways of working with an AI assistant from being forgotten.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

This is egregore-labs/egregore's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on egregore itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything egregore configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is bash bin/knowledge.sh create \.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill instructs the agent to omit warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Stripping safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.
    Fix: Remove instructions that suppress warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Let the agent surface safety-relevant caveats to the user.

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

archive 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 24d ago.

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.

Archive

Capture a reusable human-to-agent steering technique as a typed pattern with subtype prompt-chain.

When to invoke

Capture an effective prompting or steering technique as a reusable canonical pattern. Use when a prompt chain worked especially well; use /reflect for insight about the work and /note for a private thought.

Modes

  • No arguments: inspect this session for a meaningful steering chain. If the session is too short or no chain exists, ask the user to describe one.
  • Arguments: treat them as the technique; a single principle is a one-move chain.

Each move records its type, trigger, intervention, effect, and distilled principle. Useful initial move types include inversion, calibration, scoping, elevation, reframing, grounding, sequencing, contradiction, analogy, and provocation; extend the vocabulary when needed.

Context and dedupe

Reuse attached EGREGORE_ORG_CONTEXT_V1 evidence. Do not repeat retrieval when it already contains sufficient related patterns. If a named gap remains, make one bash bin/search.sh query "<technique concept>" -n 6 call and open only a likely duplicate through bash bin/search.sh open. Never query implementation infrastructure or storage directly.

Flow

  1. Extract a chain name, when-to-use guidance, ordered moves, outcome, topics, workstream, and explicit relations.
  2. For a three-or-more move chain, show the complete breakdown. For shorter chains, show the compact proposal. Wait for y, edits, or skip.
  3. Render the accepted pattern body to a temporary file under tmp/ and invoke exactly one canonical command; {artifact-file} is that file, and {chain-name}, {topic}, and {workstream} come from the accepted chain proposal:
bash bin/knowledge.sh create \
  --type pattern \
  --subtype prompt-chain \
  --title '{chain-name}' \
  --input '{artifact-file}' \
  --topic prompt-chain \
  --topic '{topic}' \
  --workstream '{workstream}'

Add --relationship "RELATION:TARGET" only for explicit links. The Runtime resolves ActorContext, authorizes, assigns stable identity/provenance, persists canonical Markdown, records Git provenance, refreshes retrieval, starts background embedding, and emits content-free telemetry.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.

archive is a skill published in the GitHub repository egregore-labs/egregore (293 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 655 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
