instruction-decoder

instruction-decoder is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Firou91/dyslex.ai. It costs 42 tokens per session (490 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A skill that turns dense prompts, tasks, specifications, and issue reports into a clear, checkable sequence of requirements and steps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to break down technical requests, clarify exact files or commands involved, and separate required work from things that should not be done.
Why use it?
It helps reveal what a complicated instruction actually asks for, including constraints and success conditions.

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

instruction-decoder 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 today.

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.

Instruction Decoder

Superpowers Gate

Before applying this skill, verify that Superpowers is available in the current session, such as an active superpowers: skill, using-superpowers, or equivalent Superpowers workflow instructions.

If Superpowers is missing or uncertain, stop and reply exactly with this guidance before doing any dyslex.ai work:

dyslex.ai requires Superpowers before it can run. Install Superpowers from /plugins, or use codex plugin add superpowers@<marketplace> if you manage plugins from the Codex CLI, then start a new session.

Do not perform the requested dyslex.ai workflow until Superpowers is installed and loaded.

Transform a dense instruction into a structure the user can verify.

Functional Mechanism

Primary dimensions: workingMemory.multiStepInstructionLoad, workingMemory.simultaneousInformationLoad, executiveFunction.sequencingLoad, executiveFunction.planningLoad, and language.discourseOrganizationLoad.

Decode instructions by externalizing the structure that would otherwise need to be held in working memory.

Interaction Risk

Dense prompts can mix goal, constraints, warnings, order, forbidden actions, and success criteria. The user or agent may miss one part or act in the wrong order.

Agent Strategy

  • Extract the requested result first.
  • Separate constraints from steps and success criteria.
  • Preserve exact technical tokens.
  • Ask only about ambiguities that materially change the result.
  • Use the smallest confirmation needed when intent is likely but not certain.

Avoid

  • Do not add requirements not present in the source.
  • Do not infer a diagnosis from disordered or dense instructions.
  • Do not turn every typo into a clarification question.
  • Do not collapse constraints into generic summary text.

Output Format

Use this structure:

Result requested
What is provided
Constraints
Steps
Do not do
Success criteria

Rules

  • Keep the original intent.
  • Separate facts from assumptions.
  • Use exact names for files, functions, commands, and concepts.
  • Do not add requirements not present in the source text.
  • Ask only about ambiguities that materially affect the result.

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.

instruction-decoder is a skill published in the GitHub repository Firou91/dyslex.ai (7 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 490 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 2026-08-31.
