walkeros-understanding-sources

walkeros-understanding-sources is a skill for Claude Code from elbwalker/walkerOS. It costs 37 tokens per session (4,834 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for walkerOS sources, which capture events from places such as web pages, browser data layers, HTTP requests, and cloud functions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when implementing or understanding browser, data-layer, or server sources and their event-push interface.
Why use it?
They explain the boundary between collecting an event and the later parts that process or deliver it.

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

walkeros-understanding-sources 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 6d 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.

Understanding walkerOS Sources

Overview

Sources capture events from the external world (browser DOM, dataLayer, HTTP requests, cloud functions) and feed them to the collector.

Core principle: Sources capture. They don't process or deliver—that's collector and destinations.

Source Interface

See packages/core/src/types/source.ts for canonical interface.

Init Function (Context Pattern)

Sources use a context-based initialization pattern:

import type { Source } from '@walkeros/core';

export const sourceMySource: Source.Init<Types> = async (context) => {
  const { config = {}, env, logger, id } = context;
  // ...
};

Context contains:

Property Type Purpose
config Source.Config<T> Settings, mapping, options
env Types['env'] Environment (push, logger)
logger Logger Logging functions
id string Source identifier
collector Collector.Instance Reference to collector
withScope (scope, respond, body) => Promise<R> Bind ingest + respond to a single scope (server sources). Takes a normalized Source.Scope

Push Method

Method Purpose
push(input) Receive external input, emit events

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.
