wtf

wtf is a skill for Claude Code from kimgoetzke/coding-agent-configs. It costs 83 tokens per session (1,601 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A conversation skill that explains the agent's latest question or report when a user has lost track of the work. It starts with a summary and then answers follow-up questions step by step.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after commands such as /wtf, or whenever the user says they do not understand what the agent means.
Why use it?
It removes the need to reconstruct the context of a task or decipher an unclear technical explanation alone.

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

wtf 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.

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

WTF

The user has many workstreams. They have come back to this one cold and no longer know what it is about. Your last message (a question you need answered, or findings you presented) made no sense to them. Rebuild their context from the top and then let them steer into whatever is still unclear.

Treat the user as if they last looked at this repository, ticket or document years ago and forgot most of it. They are intelligent and know the product. They do not remember the code, the names or the history.

Step 0: Pick the subject

  • No argument: the subject is your most recent substantive message. If that message was a question, the subject is the decision you are asking for. If it was a report, the subject is the finding.
  • Argument given: the subject is that term, quoted message or topic. Still anchor it in the current workstream.

Do not ask the user what they want explained. That is what they are asking you.

Step 1: Overview

One message, hard limit of roughly one A4 page (about 45 lines or 400 words, visuals included). Four parts, in order:

  1. Recap paragraph. Two to four sentences. What you were tasked with, by whom or from where (ticket, PR, message), what the goal is and roughly where you are now. Example: "I was tasked to investigate ticket ITS-123, which reports that some users are logged out after a few minutes. I traced the token refresh flow and found the cause. I now need you to decide how to fix it."
  2. The point. Two to five sentences in plain language stating what you are trying to communicate. For a question: what the decision is, why it is yours to make, and what happens if it is not made. For findings: what is wrong, where, and what it means for the user.
  3. The aspects. Break the subject into three to six constituent parts. One line each, in the order a newcomer needs them. Each line names the aspect using the term the codebase or ticket uses, followed by a plain-language gloss. Present them as a visual where one fits: a tree, a flow with box-drawing characters, or a small table. Number them so the user can refer to them.
  4. The question. Ask which aspect they want more detail on (see Asking).

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.
