create-notes

create-notes is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Human-Agent-Society/CORAL. It costs 217 tokens per session (5,499 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for writing notes that record what happened, why it happened, and what a future coding agent should do next. It supports notes about experiments, infrastructure, focus changes, and research summaries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after evaluations, when changing focus, when combining research, or when finding an issue that future agents may encounter.
Why use it?
It prevents important results, failed attempts, and build or runtime problems from being lost between tasks or agents.

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

create-notes 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/lint.py, scripts/stamp.py, scripts/unattributed.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 374 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create Notes

A good note answers three questions a future agent will actually ask:

  1. What did you do, and what happened? (concrete numbers, not adjectives)
  2. Why did it happen that way? (the mechanism, not just the result)
  3. What should I do — or not do — given this? (ordered next steps + things you tried that failed)

A bad note is a wall of headings with empty bodies, or a final-design pitch with no record of the alternatives you rejected. The bad pattern shows up enough that this skill exists to prevent it.

When to Use

Each heartbeat that produces a note corresponds to one variant. The skill is one document, but you only need the variant your current trigger asks for.

Triggered by Variant File location
reflect heartbeat after each eval Experiment note (Variant A) notes/experiments/eval-<N>-<slug>.md
pivot plateau detection Focus note (Variant C) notes/focus/focus-<topic>.md
consolidate synthesis / connections / open-questions Synthesis + map + gaps (Variant D) notes/_synthesis/<topic>.md, notes/_connections.md, notes/_open-questions.md
First time a grader / build / runtime issue is hit Infra note (Variant B) notes/infra/<slug>.md (or notes/<slug>.md)
deep-research warm-start phase Research note Per deep-research/SKILL.md (not duplicated here)

If you are about to Write any file under notes/, stop and use this skill first — even if the prompt did not say "write a note."

Notes Directory Layout

The directory structure is owned by organize-files. Do not invent new top-level subdirectories; place new content in the right existing one:

notes/
├── index.md              ← table of contents; you update this for any new note
├── raw/                  ← immutable sources (do not write here directly)
├── research/             ← deep-research findings (link back to raw/)
├── experiments/          ← per-eval reflections, written by the reflect heartbeat
├── infra/                ← grader / build / runtime issues + workarounds (recommended)
├── focus/                ← per-agent focus declarations (owned by the pivot heartbeat)
├── migrations/           ← island-arrival notes (written by the framework)
├── _synthesis/           ← owned by consolidate; do not write here unless consolidating
├── _connections.md       ← owned by consolidate
├── _open-questions.md    ← owned by consolidate
└── _organization-log.md  ← append-only audit log; only organize-files writes here

Files

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
