moonshine-listen

moonshine-listen is a skill for Claude Code from enjalot/moonshine. It costs 69 tokens per session (1,483 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A listener for authorship comments from the Moonshine article HUD, a project feedback display. It checks feedback inboxes periodically and can hand comments to the authoring workflow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Run it on a loop to monitor one Moonshine project or all available projects, show live status, and process accumulated comments when requested.
Why use it?
It helps catch feedback that arrives while the coding session is idle, instead of waiting for the next interaction.

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

moonshine-listen 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 11d 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.

moonshine-listen — authorship feedback listener (Claude Code adapter)

This is the idle-coverage half of the moonshine authorship-feedback loop (plugins/moonshine/FEEDBACK.md). The Stop hook already handles delivery at turn boundaries; this skill covers requests that land while the session is idle, and powers the HUD's live status (the heartbeat) and its mode controls (the control.json it reads). Note the default mode is accumulate: comments pile up and are only drained when the author presses Address in the HUD (address.json) or has opted into continuous auto-address (listen).

Each invocation performs one tick. Run it under /loop so the ticks repeat.

Scope

  • If invoked with a project name argument, operate on ~/.agent/moonshine/<arg>/.feedback/ only.
  • Otherwise operate on every existing ~/.agent/moonshine/*/.feedback/ inbox.
  • If MOONSHINE_FEEDBACK=off is set in the environment, do nothing and end the loop — the same kill switch the Stop hook and the dev server honor.

Use absolute, ISO-8601 UTC timestamps (date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ) everywhere.

One tick

For each in-scope .feedback/ directory:

  1. Manifest. If adapter.json is missing, write {"harness":"claude-code","version":"adapter","installedAt":"<now>"}.

  2. Read control. Read control.json; treat a missing file as {"mode":"accumulate"} (the default: hold comments, don't drain).

    • If mode == "stopped" and there is no address.json: write a final heartbeat.json with "mode":"stopped" and the current ts, then end — do not schedule another tick for this project. (If all in-scope projects are stopped, end the loop entirely; tell the user the listener stopped.)
  3. Route to the authoring session. Read the optional sessionId from address.json (for a one-shot request), or from control.json when mode is listen. Compare it with $CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID. If the request names a different session — or names one but the current session ID is unavailable — skip this project entirely and do not consume its request. Legacy files without a sessionId remain unscoped.

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.
