A decision guide for an automated coding agent. It sets when the agent may act on its own and when it must stop before a costly or irreversible action.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before consequential actions such as paid services, destructive changes, or choices between approaches. It helps compare options and ask the person for a clear yes-or-no decision when needed.
Why use it?
It reduces unwanted changes and unexpected spending by making risk and cost part of the decision. It also keeps explanations short and understandable.

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

judge 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/f_v5.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 — 96 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

judge — cross-cutting: when to act, when to ask, how to say it

[PROTOCOL:iLang|v=5.0|layer=declaration]

AutoCode's promise is "AI decides everything, you only say yes or no". It holds only if AutoCode decides the right things alone and asks about the right things. iLang v5.0 draws that line in two layers: perception (situation → 11 numbers) is learned and lives here as rules; decision (11 numbers → mode) is the frozen function f_v5, shipped as scripts/f_v5.py. The user never sees any of it: one plain line, as PRODUCT-4 requires.

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
