monitor-respond

monitor-respond is a skill for Codex from HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard. It costs 26 tokens per session (953 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow that turns a confirmed metric or scheduled-scan breach into a graded response and a routed intake. It checks for current user harm, compares signals with declared control bands, and chooses the smallest allowed action.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to respond to breached delivery or operational thresholds, check whether users are currently affected, route incidents, and create the appropriate follow-up.
Why use it?
It prevents people from treating an alert alone as proof that a fix is needed or taking a larger action than the evidence supports. It provides a repeatable path from detection to incident or other follow-up.

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

monitor-respond 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 28d 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.

Monitor Respond Skill

[!IMPORTANT] Turn a control-band breach or scheduled scan result into a tiered, evidence-backed response and a routed intake.

Optional args: slug=, ticket=<id/url>, mode=interactive|autonomous|channel, channel=, auto_continue=true|false, profile=business|hybrid|technical.

Instructions

When the user asks to perform this workflow, execute the following steps:

Monitor Respond Workflow

Goal: Convert a deterministic signal into the smallest sanctioned action and route the rest, instead of debugging or fixing on the strength of an alert.

Steps

  1. Load the signal:
    • Read the control bands file (docs/ops/bands.yaml; schema in common-sdlc-metrics), the metric source, and the rolling baseline.
    • Confirm detection already ran deterministically; never classify a breach from narrative alone.
    • Classify with the declared rules: 1 point beyond 3 sigma; 2 of 3 beyond 2 sigma same side; 4 of 5 beyond 1 sigma same side; 8 consecutive same side.
  2. Check for active harm first:
    • Users affected now, or the band's harm_check matches -> stop and route to incident-hotfix.
    • Otherwise continue at the tier the breach earned.
  3. Act at tier, never above it:
    • 1 sigma: record the observation and stop.
    • 2 sigma: diagnose read-only with the tier's declared tools; produce evidence, not a change.
    • 3 sigma: propose a change as a pull request, or invoke a named pre-approved runbook from the band's routes.
    • Missing tier definition, tools, or routes -> return BLOCKED rather than widening scope.
  4. Triage scheduled scan results:
    • security-test produces the scan artifact; this workflow owns the baseline-versus-current diff.
    • For each new finding, either act or dismiss with a recorded reason; both outcomes tune the band.
    • Carry unchanged findings forward without re-reporting them.
  5. Route the outcome:
    • Diagnosis worth acting on -> brainstorm-feature with source: control-band | security-scan, so it enters the normal requirement chain.
    • Shipped fix -> retro-learn to add a permanent eval case for the class.
    • Repeated dismissals -> recalibrate the band before responding again.

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.
