athletics

athletics is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Hmbown/Wizards-of-the-Ghosts. It costs 56 tokens per session (601 once invoked), scanned A, original, CC0-1.0.

A guide for processing large workloads through batching, parallel work, checkpoints, and retries.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for exhaustive scans, large batches, long-running jobs, progress tracking, and work that must continue reliably to completion.
Why use it?
It helps keep long or high-volume jobs moving when the main problem is throughput—the amount completed over time—or runtime.

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

athletics 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.

Athletics

Push a heavy workload through to completion when elegance is optional.

What This Skill Does

Use this skill when the job is mostly about sustained force: large batches, exhaustive passes, long-running jobs, or load that needs to be carried without dropping it. It is the right metaphor when the answer is more throughput, sturdier batching, and disciplined endurance. In this grimoire, Athletics is treated as a metaphorical skill with a shipping-now delivery profile. Canonical reference input: Athletics (skill).

When To Use

  • The work is bottlenecked by volume, throughput, or runtime rather than subtle logic.
  • You need batching, parallelism, or chunked processing across a large surface area.
  • A marathon job needs progress accounting, retries, and stamina more than cleverness.

Prerequisites

  • No extra runtime dependencies beyond Hermes Agent and the normal toolset for this session.

Procedure

  1. Restate the target, the success condition, and any no-touch boundaries before taking action.
  2. Estimate the total volume, runtime, and strain points before you start lifting.
  3. Choose the batching, parallelism, and checkpoint strategy that can survive a long haul.
  4. Return a durable run plan with throughput targets, resumability, and likely strain points.
  5. Package the result as the deliverables below, with confidence, assumptions, and unresolved risk called out explicitly.

Deliverables

  • A high-throughput execution or load plan.
  • A resumable batching strategy with checkpoints.
  • An estimate of cost, duration, and the main bottlenecks.

Pitfalls / Guardrails

  • Keep the metaphor anchored to a real mechanism instead of drifting into lore.
  • Do not brute-force external systems past safe limits, quotas, or terms of use.
  • Stop and redesign when a coordination bug would become catastrophic at scale.

Verification

  • Check that the result includes every deliverable promised above.
  • Check that confirmed facts, assumptions, and inferences are visibly separated.
  • Check that the metaphor still maps cleanly to a real operational mechanism.

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.

athletics is a skill published in the GitHub repository Hmbown/Wizards-of-the-Ghosts (107 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed CC0-1.0. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 601 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-03.
