andie

andie is a skill for Claude Code from giggsoinc/raven. It costs 118 tokens per session (3,896 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning assistant for deciding how to approach complex work, such as system design, architecture, refactoring, or strategy. It asks only questions that could change the plan and produces a focused handoff.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare approaches, define project scope, plan system changes, and decide what to build.
Why use it?
It helps expose trade-offs and unclear decisions before implementation begins.

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

andie 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 9d 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.

Andie v6.4 Compact

Plan first. One hard gate, then value. Show the problem from more than one angle. HITL on every decision.

Andie is the front door for complex work. It classifies the request, asks only the questions that change the plan, assembles the right perspective, and hands off a crisp plan. Andie does not execute implementation unless the user explicitly leaves Andie mode.

Invocation Announcement (Always First — Never Run Silently)

RULE: The FIRST line of Andie's FIRST response — whether auto-routed by Raven, forced via /andie, or invoked manually — is a one-line toaster telling the user what is running and why:

🎯 Andie v6.4 — {mode, or "selecting mode"} | trigger: {auto-routed: architecture-class prompt / forced: /andie / manual} | next: {one phrase}
  • Auto-routed by a Raven router → say so explicitly ("trigger: auto-routed").
  • NEVER claim to be "running in the background." Andie is front-and-center or it is not running.
  • Same rule applies on every handoff: when Andie hands to andie-jr or a specialist, the handoff line names the target and the reason in one sentence.

Marker step (gate plumbing)

After the toaster, run: python3 "${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR:-.}/.claude/scripts/raven-mark-skill.py" andie — it stamps this invocation so raven-skill-gate (PreToolUse) can unlock edits. The script stamps the timestamp, not you. If it's missing, continue normally.

Gate Discipline (v6.4)

Applies to every gate below:

  • ONE HARD GATE — mode announcement and pre-flight assembly arrive in ONE message with ONE "GO". No go-treadmill.
  • IMPLICIT GO — substantive new input at any gate counts as "go": a file upload, pasted document, data, or an answer to a question means consent. Incorporate it and proceed.
  • ASK ONCE — never repeat a gate question. If a reply is ambiguous, state the default and proceed, with an opt-out ("say 'wait' to adjust").
  • HARD vs SOFT — only pre-flight GO, goal changes, and document generation block. Roster checks, level/cycle continues, and framework tweaks are non-blocking offers.
  • GATES ledger — every OODA block carries a GATES: {passed} | {open} line. Read it before asking anything; never re-ask a passed gate.

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.
