first-graph

first-graph is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from InjayTseng/graph-engineering-on-research. It costs 33 tokens per session (292 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A short exercise in comparing one belief with three independent critics and a vote. It introduces graph-based reasoning, where claims and disagreements are connected for inspection.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to examine a claim, collect separate skeptical opinions, and decide whether the claim needs research or an adversarial review.
Why use it?
It gives a quick way to test a belief before spending time on deeper research or review.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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

first-graph 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.

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.

What it actually says

Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/prompts/00-first-graph.md. Everything below its "## Copy this block" line is your instruction set — execute it exactly, with one substitution: the "My claim:" slot at the end is filled by the user's input below.

My claim: $ARGUMENTS

Harness rules:

  • If the claim above is empty, ask the user for one sentence they currently believe and act on — do not invent a claim.
  • If the claim above is written in Chinese, use ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/prompts/00-first-graph.zh-TW.md instead (its block starts at "## 複製這段", the slot is "我的主張:") and work in Traditional Chinese throughout.
  • You can spawn subagents: each of the three skeptics MUST be a separate subagent with fresh context that never sees the others' output. Never simulate the skeptics sequentially in this context.
  • When the template's closing mentions templates 02 and 03 by name, they are installed alongside this one: /diamond-research and /adversarial-review.

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.
