ce-pov

ce-pov is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin. It costs 92 tokens per session (1,538 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured way to form a clear point of view about a decision, document, or proposed approach. It grounds the conclusion in the project's own context and relevant outside evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to judge whether to adopt an outside tool or approach, assess a document, or reconcile several opinions into a project-specific recommendation.
Why use it?
It helps turn scattered information and competing opinions into one justified verdict. This makes adoption and design decisions easier to act on.

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

ce-pov 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/cross-model-pov.sh, scripts/peer-job-runner.py), 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 — 63 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Form a Point of View

Produce a decisive, project-grounded point of view in the subject's own shape: a graded verdict on an external-adoption question, a holistic take on a document, or a position on a supplied approach set. The subject is whatever this skill was invoked with, in the prompt or the conversation. Stay read-only while forming and reconciling the POV. You are done when the POV is delivered with its attribution and required disclosure, or when an explicit blocker is returned. The year is 2026, for source recency.

The moat

Never issue a POV you did not earn against the project's own context. Every subject must clear the project floor in references/method.md. An external-adoption verdict must also clear the full external floor. A document or approach-set POV must externally verify any external claim that is load-bearing to its bottom line. Nothing the conversation asserts substitutes for grounding.

User-facing communication

Write for the person deciding what to do. Lead with the decision, question, or recommendation. Keep internal workflow vocabulary and mechanics out of chat unless asked, and put any consequence they need into ordinary language. Call the codebase "this project" or "the repository" unless the user supplied a recognizable name. Never promote a directory, worktree, checkout, branch, or path into the project name.

Interaction Method

Ask through the host's blocking question tool, one question at a time: the host's blocking question tool already in the current tool list (match by capability, not by a host-specific name). Presence in the current tool list is proof the tool exists; never call a user-facing question tool to discover whether it exists. If a matching tool is listed but unloaded, use the host's tool-discovery primitive to load that capability — do not search for another host's tool name. Fall back to numbered chat options only when no such tool is in the list or a real question call errors. Never skip the question.

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.

ce-pov is a skill published in the GitHub repository EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin (24,760 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 92 tokens to every session and 1,538 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-30.
