ferrus-executor

A playbook for making focused code changes and submitting them in Ferrus, a development workflow that provides its own tools and checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to navigate code from public entry points, make small fixes, run Ferrus checks, apply test-driven development when suitable, and document verification steps.
Why use it?
It helps avoid unrelated edits and catches hidden dependencies, test assumptions, and side effects before submission.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

ferrus-executor 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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

Executor Operating Playbook

This file is advisory only. Runtime workflow is defined by the initial prompt and Ferrus MCP tools.

Implementation guidelines

  • Prefer minimal, targeted diffs
  • Avoid unrelated refactoring
  • Preserve existing project patterns unless the task requires otherwise

Code navigation

  • Start from entrypoints and public interfaces
  • Trace dependencies before changing behavior
  • Inspect surrounding code before modifying shared logic

Common pitfalls

  • Hidden side effects
  • Implicit contracts between modules
  • Test coupling and fixture assumptions
  • State transitions that depend on tool behavior

Ferrus guidance

  • Use Ferrus tools rather than reconstructing state from .ferrus/
  • Use /check freely during development; prefer TDD where it fits the task
  • Run /check again immediately before the final /submit
  • Read Ferrus resources when they help clarify task context
  • Use the consultation template when escalating technical uncertainty

Submission quality

  • Provide a clear summary of what changed
  • Include concrete manual verification steps
  • Mention limitations or follow-up work explicitly when relevant

Useful Ferrus tools

  • /wait_for_task
  • /check
  • /consult
  • /wait_for_consult
  • /ask_human
  • /wait_for_answer
  • /submit

Useful Ferrus resources

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
