corpus-grounding

corpus-grounding is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from event4u-app/agent-config. It costs 40 tokens per session (2,590 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reusable search engine for curated knowledge collections, using text matching, filters, and decision rules to narrow the available choices.

In plain words
What is it for?
It supports building domain-specific knowledge collections, validating their manifests and data files, and retrieving stack-specific guidance such as React options.
Why use it?
It helps other guides make grounded recommendations from structured reference material instead of relying only on memory.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is first consumer ([`design-intelligence`](../design-intelligence/SKILL.md))..

Good fit It supports building domain-specific knowledge collections, validating their manifests and data files, and retrieving stack-specific guidance such as React options.

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

    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.

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

corpus-grounding 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/bm25_search.ts, scripts/decision_engine.ts, scripts/ground.ts, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 231 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

corpus-grounding

The reusable grounding layer from ADR-061: one pure-stdlib engine (BM25 retrieval + structured pre-filters + decision-rule evaluation) that any domain plugs into via a manifest — frontend design is its first consumer (design-intelligence). A corpus grounds (pre-action, constrains the option space); it never replaces mid-action reference (RAG), post-action validation (rules), or the method itself (a framework skill).

Engine provenance: ported from nextlevelbuilder/ui-ux-pro-max-skill @ b7e3af80f6e331f6fb456667b82b12cade7c9d35 (MIT, last checked 2026-06-07) — BM25 de-duplicated, slide-only paths stripped, every frontend-hardcoded axis moved into the manifest. Full license obligations: design-intelligence/ATTRIBUTION.md.

When to use

  • A skill needs pre-action selection grounded in curated knowledge ("which layout pattern / threat class / index strategy applies here").
  • You are authoring a new domain corpus — write a manifest + CSVs, validate with the grounding CLI (ground validate via ./scripts-run), never fork the engine.
  • You need stack-scoped Do/Don't guidance (--stack react …).

Do NOT

  • Do NOT use the corpus for mid-task fact lookup — that is reference (references/ docs / RAG).
  • Do NOT use it for output validation — write a rule/linter.
  • Do NOT build a corpus that fits in 5 lines of an always-on rule.
  • Do NOT fork the engine per domain — plug in via a manifest.
  • Do NOT merge a manifest without owner + refresh cadence (validator refuses it anyway).

Procedure: Consult a corpus

  1. Locate the domain manifest (<domain-skill>/data/manifest.json).
  2. Run search (one domain / stack axis) or ground (reasoning plan).
  3. Read confidence + evidence_gap before trusting any row.
  4. Propose grounded options; the human confirms (Tier-1 default).

Invocation (consumer runtime)

Scripts resolve all paths skill-relative (per docs/contracts/skill-bundled-assets.md) — they work from any cwd:

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

corpus-grounding is a skill published in the GitHub repository event4u-app/agent-config (10 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 2,590 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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 2026-09-03.
