automate-me

automate-me is a skill for Claude Code from ericlitman/open-pstack. It costs 72 tokens per session (1,758 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of automate-me, MIT.

A guided process for turning a developer’s working habits into a reusable instruction set for coding agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for creating or updating a personal working-style skill by examining existing instructions, gathering evidence from past work, and refining the result.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to repeat personal preferences and helps agents follow an established way of working across tasks.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to medium

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 →

  • medium Agent Snooping · line 18
    Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.
    Fix: Remove all code or instructions that list or read other skills' files or directories. Skills should operate independently; cross-skill access is a privilege escalation.
  • medium Excessive Agency · line 56
    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

automate-me 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Automate me

A guided flow for turning the user's working conventions into a skill agents will follow. The output is one -mode skill tailored to them (e.g. jay-mode, priya-mode).

This skill orchestrates three others: an inline mining pass (see step 1), the plugin-dev:skill-development skill (authoring), and the unslop skill (prose discipline). It sequences them. It doesn't replace them.

Platform note. On Codex or another non-Claude runtime, the Claude tool names, claude-* slugs, and Claude built-in skills named below (including plugin-dev:skill-development) are Claude defaults. Resolve them via codex-tools.md.

Flow

0. Check for an existing skill

Look recursively for .claude/skills/**/*-mode/SKILL.md and ~/.claude/skills/*-mode/SKILL.md matching the user's handle. Mode skills can live in a personal category directory (.claude/skills/<handle>/), not only at the top level. If one exists, confirm intent with AskUserQuestion (unless they already said "update my skill" or similar):

  • Update the existing skill (default for repeat runs)
  • Start fresh (rare, ask why before doing it)

Update mode changes the rest of the flow:

  • Step 1 mines only history since the skill was last edited (git log -1 --format=%cI <path>).
  • Step 2 asks what's changed or missing, not what to capture from zero.
  • Step 4 edits the existing file in place. Preserve sections the user hasn't contradicted. Revise ones with new evidence. Add new sections only for genuinely new rules.

1. Mine their history

Locate the active workspace's transcripts before fanning out. Claude Code stores them at ~/.claude/projects/<encoded-cwd>/*.jsonl, where <encoded-cwd> is the workspace's working directory with each / and each . → -. Use only that path. Don't glob across ~/.claude/projects/. That crosses workspace boundaries and reads private chats from unrelated projects.

Survey recent agent conversations within that scope for recurring patterns. Run multiple parallel subagents across slices of history (e.g. last 2-4 weeks, split into 3 slices so each has enough material). Pick each subagent's effort for the job, per the Subagents section of the poteto-mode skill. Each slice mining subagent reads transcripts from the workspace-scoped path the parent provides, looks for the signals below, and returns a short structured list of patterns it saw with evidence pointers. Default signals worth hunting:

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.
