true-strike

true-strike 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 preflight checklist for risky actions such as deployments, database changes, API calls, and commands. A preflight check tests readiness before the real action.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run dry checks, verify dependencies, and rehearse an operation before carrying it out.
Why use it?
It catches common problems before an expensive or difficult-to-reverse action fails. It gives a clear go or no-go decision.

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

true-strike 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.

True Strike

Aim once with evidence so the next command lands on the first shot.

What This Skill Does

Use this spell for preflight certainty: dry runs, validation checks, dependency verification, and rehearsals that make the next deploy, query, or command much more likely to succeed. It trades a little time up front for fewer blind swings and fewer expensive misses. In this grimoire, True Strike is treated as a metaphorical spell with a shipping-now delivery profile. Canonical reference input: True Strike (spell).

When To Use

  • A risky one-shot action should be validated before you fire it.
  • A deploy, migration, API call, or command has an expensive miss if it goes wrong.
  • You can eliminate common failure modes with a dry run, preflight check, or rehearsal.

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. Identify the decisive action and the miss conditions most likely to ruin it.
  3. Run the smallest useful set of validations or rehearsals that prove readiness.
  4. Return a go or no-go judgment with the evidence and the uncertainty that remains.
  5. Package the result as the deliverables below, with confidence, assumptions, and unresolved risk called out explicitly.

Deliverables

  • A preflight checklist or dry-run result set.
  • A go or no-go recommendation for the next action.
  • A short list of residual risks after validation.

Pitfalls / Guardrails

  • Keep the metaphor anchored to a real mechanism instead of drifting into lore.
  • Do not claim certainty when the environment can still change between validation and execution.
  • Keep the preflight cheaper than the miss you are trying to avoid.

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.
