using-amplify

using-amplify is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from EvoClaw/amplify. It costs 31 tokens per session (4,005 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research workflow guide that divides a project into phases and requires user approval at defined checkpoints before continuing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to present research anchors, plans, feasibility findings, exploration results, and gate checklists one phase at a time.
Why use it?
It prevents a complex research project from being rushed through in one pass without reviewing its direction, feasibility, plan, or results.

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

using-amplify 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 1mo 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 — 272 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

IF A SKILL APPLIES TO YOUR TASK, YOU DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE. YOU MUST USE IT.

This is not negotiable. This is not optional. You cannot rationalize your way out of this.

ABSOLUTE RULE #1: ONE PHASE PER TURN

  1. Present the phase deliverables and/or gate checklist to the user
  2. END YOUR RESPONSE AND WAIT FOR THE USER TO REPLY
  3. Only proceed to the next phase AFTER the user explicitly approves

THIS IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT RULE IN THE ENTIRE SYSTEM.

Violating this rule — even once — collapses the entire research workflow into a shallow one-shot demo. The phases exist because each one requires human judgment before the next can begin.

What "end your response" means

  • After Phase 0: present research-anchor.yaml summary → STOP. Wait for user.
  • After Phase 1 + G1: present G1 checklist → STOP. Wait for user.
  • After Phase 2: present feasibility assessment → STOP. Wait for user.
  • After Phase 3 + G2: present frozen plan → STOP. Wait for user.
  • After G3: present readiness check → STOP. Wait for user.
  • After Phase 4a: present exploration report + options (proceed / local adjustment / focused re-discussion / return to Phase 3 / return to Phase 2) → STOP. Wait for user decision. Most common outcome is local adjustment, not full phase reset.
  • After Phase 4b: present results summary → STOP. Ask: "Are results sufficient? Shall I proceed to results integration?"
  • After Phase 5 + G4: present content outline → STOP. Ask: "Shall I proceed to paper writing?"
  • During Phase 6: present EACH SECTION individually → STOP. Wait for user feedback on that section.

What counts as user approval

  • Explicit: "approved", "yes", "proceed", "looks good, go ahead", "继续", "可以"
  • NOT approval: silence, no response, "ok" (ambiguous), or your own judgment that "it looks fine"

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.
