A structured system for storing and analyzing personal or project context, including goals, strategies, dependencies, bottlenecks, and progress. It can read or update personal records or produce reports from project Markdown and CSV files.

Use it to update personal goals and beliefs, analyze project documentation, map dependencies, and create source-grounded reports or dashboards.

It keeps personal context separate from project analysis and requires the source and intended update to be clear. This reduces the risk of mixing private information with project or public output.

telos — Skill for Claude Code and Codex by jscraik/Agent-Skills

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

npx skills add jscraik/Agent-Skills --skill telos

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/jscraik/Agent-Skills

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00065	$0.01747
Opus 5.5	$0.00026	$0.00699
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00013	$0.00349
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00175

Security

Grade A, and why

telos 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 9 executable files (ReportTemplate/lib/report-data.ts, ReportTemplate/lib/utils.ts, ReportTemplate/next-env.d.ts, …), 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 195 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Telos

TELOS has two distinct lanes:

Personal TELOS reads or updates the principal's private life context.
Project TELOS analyzes a user-named directory of Markdown and CSV sources.

Establish the lane and current source before acting. Never mix private personal TELOS with a project report or public output.

When to use

Update goals, beliefs, lessons, books, narratives, strategies, or other TELOS material.
Extract interview content or produce narrative points from supplied sources.
Map project problems, goals, strategies, projects, dependencies, progress, or bottlenecks.
Produce a source-grounded executive report or dashboard when requested.

For conversational constitutional review, use the Interview skill instead.

Required inputs

For personal work:

The exact fact or text to add.
The intended TELOS file.
Jamie's confirmation when the change is consequential, ambiguous, protected, or replaces current meaning.
An explicit LIFEOS_DIR or CODEX_LIFEOS_DIR for candidate-bound writes.

For project work:

The source directory or named owner route.
The requested analysis or deliverable.
Any privacy, publication, or audience constraints.

If the owner, target file, privacy class, or intended meaning is unclear, stop and ask one direct question.

Workflow routing

Before a selected workflow, send a best-effort local notification and state: Running the <WorkflowName> workflow in the Telos skill to <action>.... Notification failure does not authorize a different write route.

Personal update: read Workflows/Update.md.
Interview extraction: read Workflows/InterviewExtraction.md.
Narrative points: read Workflows/CreateNarrativePoints.md.
Professional report: read Workflows/WriteReport.md.
Direct project analysis: inspect the named .md and .csv files, build only the relationship model required by the request, and cite the sources.

What ships with it

38 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.
