orient

orient is a skill for Claude Code from griffinwork40/agent-afk. It costs 57 tokens per session (500 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

A session-orientation workflow that asks a read-only helper to review recent project work and prepare a prompt for the next session. Read-only means it gathers information without changing files or state.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review memory, Git activity, experiments, documents, and agent state, then create a short handoff prompt for the next coding session.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to reconstruct the project's history at the start of a new session. The result records recent work, relevant memory locations, current status, and possible next directions without making decisions.

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 B, and why

orient scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

What it actually says

Sub-agent contract

/contract

Dispatch one read-only research sub-agent to survey recent work across four narrow targets, then produce a single markdown prompt block the user can paste into a fresh session.

Sub-agent surveys:

  • Memory: the memory_search tool (2–3 keyword queries on the current work; FTS5 syntax) + hot memory at ~/.afk/state/memory/HOT.md. Do not grep ~/.claude/projects/**/memory/ — that path is vestigial and empty on both trees; the archive is SQLite and only memory_search reaches it. Report which stores you consulted.
  • Git activity in this repo + sibling repos the session touched (git log --oneline -10, open PRs, dirty state)
  • experiments/ docs (if present) relevant to the current work
  • Telemetry/state files the session interacted with (e.g. ~/.afk/agent-framework/*.jsonl)

Return exactly this shape (≤ 60 lines total):

  1. One-line project identity + one-line "where we are" (current phase / latest milestone)
  2. 3–5 bullets on what shipped recently — commits, PRs, empirical closures; be specific
  3. Memory pointers by filename only (next session's memory system auto-loads — don't restate)
  4. 2–4 candidate directions framed as questions or possibilities, never as a decided plan
  5. Closing line inviting the next session to run /ground-state first, then propose a plan

Discipline the contract enforces: orientation, not execution. Handoff briefs drift toward prescription by default; the "questions-as-possibilities" framing is the guardrail so the receiving session plans with fresh judgment.

Relay the prompt to the user. On request, save to /tmp/orient-<ISO8601>.md.

Skip when: no substantive work to carry forward, user wants a bare /compact, or user already has a decided plan (use /mint or draft directly).

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.

orient is a skill published in the GitHub repository griffinwork40/agent-afk (53 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 500 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-07.
