intent-replay

intent-replay is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from HashLips/agent-skills. It costs 93 tokens per session (1,779 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project record-keeping workflow that stores goals, decisions, current work, and verified handoffs in a repository. A repository is the shared folder containing a project's source files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before changing project files to initialise or update the project's intent, record decisions, and keep handoff information current.
Why use it?
Important context can disappear when an agent's conversation ends or another person takes over. This keeps the project's intent available to later work.

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

intent-replay 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 — 91 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Intent Replay

Purpose

Maintain one durable, agent-independent source of project intent, decisions, active work, and verified handoffs. The repository owns project context; no agent's conversation is authoritative. Intent Replay coordinates context, not model selection, commits, or deployments.

Non-Negotiable Rules

  1. Start with Intent Replay. Before other work in the repository, look for .project/ and the Intent Replay block in AGENTS.md. If either is missing, bootstrap. If both exist, read them and keep the tracking files current as the work changes. Do not skip this step, and do not start a second tracking system. The AGENTS.md block is the standing order that tells the next agent to do the same. A commit or push does not start this update.
  2. Bootstrap safely. At the intended project root, create missing Intent Replay files and the AGENTS.md integration. Never reset, truncate, replace, or delete existing project content. If initialization cannot be performed, explain the blocker and provide the exact proposed changes.
  3. Read before acting. Inspect AGENTS.md, .project/NOW.md, .project/INTENT.md, the relevant active task, and only the decisions needed for the task. Reconcile the snapshot with the repository and accessible Git state before trusting it.
  4. Validate continuity. After bootstrap and before the final handoff, run the continuity check in references/lifecycle.md. Fix structural problems. A clean check is not proof the implementation works.
  5. Never fabricate progress. Label facts as observed, reported, planned, or unverified. Never represent an unrun test, remote-only view, or prior agent claim as verified.
  6. Update at meaningful boundaries, not per message. Update INTENT.md when the goal, audience, scope, or a constraint actually changes. Record a decision only when a later agent would choose wrong without it. Update tasks when scope, implementation, blockers, or validation changes. Refresh NOW.md so it matches the current intent and the decisions still in force. Keep both files short. A commit, push, or sync to GitHub is not one of these updates.
  7. Stop after a commit. When the user asks to commit or push, or when a commit or push has just happened, do not edit .project/ or the Intent Replay block afterward. Do not record that the commit happened in intent, decisions, or NOW.md. Leave any uncommitted Intent Replay edits out of that follow-up. The tree stays as the commit left it.
  8. Archive tasks; compact old decisions. Move accepted and verified tasks from tasks/active/ to tasks/done/. Keep task IDs and evidence. When DECISIONS.md grows past about 120 lines, compact superseded decisions, and accepted decisions that no longer affect the work, down to one line each. Keep every decision ID. Do not silently complete work or remove task files.
  9. Respect permissions and conflicts. Do not commit, push, merge, deploy, install integrations, or run destructive commands without authorization. Detect concurrent edits and discrepancies; preserve both sides and request a resolution rather than overwriting.
  10. Do not store secrets or personal data. .project/ records where the project is and what it is trying to do. Never write secret keys, credentials, tokens, raw environment values, private chat transcripts, or personal data into these files.

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.
