happier: Skill for Codex

.agents/skills/happier-issue-diagnose/SKILL.md

happier-issue-diagnose is a skill for Codex from happier-dev/happier. It costs 89 tokens per session (3,372 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for establishing the technical truth behind one Happier GitHub issue or a related group of issues.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect reports, diagnostics, release history, source code, and reproductions before recommending or making a fix.
Why use it?
It separates verified evidence from reporter assumptions and clarifies the cause, affected versions, and justified response.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: mentions subagents; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is happier-dev/happier's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on happier itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything happier configures →

About the project

Happier is an open-source, end-to-end encrypted client that lets people run AI coding-agent sessions on a computer and continue controlling them from a phone, browser, or desktop app. It is for developers who use agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, or OpenCode across multiple devices, with self-hosting available. The catalogue entries are add-ons for configuring or extending this client and its supported coding-agent workflows.

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

happier-issue-diagnose 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 2d 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 — 155 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Happier Issue Diagnose

Establish what is true about one coherent GitHub issue bundle, where the behavior originates, which versions are affected, and what response is justified. Treat the bundle relationship and every reporter-supplied diagnosis as hypotheses until evidence supports them.

This skill owns the GitHub-issue diagnosis contract. It composes existing engineering doctrine instead of copying it:

  • use .agents/skills/verify-claims first for pre-diagnosed engineering reports or delegated conclusions;
  • use .agents/skills/happier-diagnose and its evidence references for runtime, daemon, session, provider, authentication, or connectivity incidents;
  • use .agents/skills/happier-compatibility for component skew, released behavior, installed artifacts, persistence, upgrades, or rollback;
  • use .agents/skills/happier-testing for controlled reproduction and deciding validation;
  • use .agents/skills/happier-review in advisory/report mode to assess a linked pull request against the independently verified issue contract and affected corridor;
  • use .agents/skills/happier-release* for packaging, signing, publication, promotion, or released-artifact defects;
  • use .agents/skills/happier-implement only after the user authorizes source changes;
  • when diagnosing from the 0.2 line, assess whether the same contract or defect mechanism is reachable in 0.3 and pass that evidence to .agents/skills/happier-port-0-2-to-0-3 after the 0.2 correction is validated.

Working stance

Use docs/agent-craft.md and .agents/skills/handoff-report for the canonical working and communication method. Speak to the primary maintainer as a trusted engineering partner: lead with your own evidence-backed judgment, challenge the issue's framing when warranted, explain the causal story, and select the detail needed for the next decision. Do not expose the investigation's checklists as the shape of the answer.

After the required initial skill announcement, send commentary when a discovery changes the hypothesis, bundle, confidence, blocker, or next action. Do not narrate routine reference loading, source searches, dirty-worktree administration, or workflow compliance unless it materially affects the conclusion.

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.
