environment_detection

environment_detection is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jxoesneon/Ciel. It costs 17 tokens per session (300 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An environment-detection tool that identifies the operating system, runtime, installed development tools, framework or project context, and CI provider. CI, or continuous integration, automatically builds and tests code when changes are made.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify system details, runtime and tool versions, CI setup, or the technologies and structure of a project directory.
Why use it?
It helps other coding tasks choose commands and instructions that match the machine, project, and automation system in use.

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

environment_detection 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 8d 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

environment_detection

Detect the environment Ciel is operating in.

Operations

  • env.os(){os, version, arch, kernel}.
  • env.runtime() — host CLI runtime (delegates to router/RUNTIME_DETECTION.md).
  • env.tools() — installed dev tools and versions.
  • env.ci() — CI provider detection from env + files.
  • env.project_context(dir) — calls project_analyzer.

I/O Contract

io_contract:
  input: { op, "args?" }
  output: { result: map }
  idempotent: true
  side_effects: [shell, fs]

Uses

Feeds init/CONTEXT_DETECTION.md, adapters/generic/CAPABILITY_PROBE.md, and prompts/router/runtime_detection.md.

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.
