athenaeum: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/resolve-questions/SKILL.md

resolve-questions is a skill for Claude Code from Kromatic-Innovation/athenaeum. It costs 67 tokens per session (848 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An interactive guide for reviewing unresolved contradictions or unclear facts stored in a pending-questions file. It presents one question at a time for the user to decide.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to count, list, and resolve pending knowledge questions through the command line or connected tools.
Why use it?
It prevents the system from silently choosing between conflicting information. You can accept a suggested answer, provide your own, or defer the question.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to medium

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • medium Excessive Agency · line 11
    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.
  • medium Rogue Agent · line 49
    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

resolve-questions 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 11d 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 — 77 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

resolve-questions

Interactive walk-through for ~/knowledge/wiki/_pending_questions.md. Each entry is a contradiction or ambiguity the librarian flagged for human review. Some entries carry an Opus-backed proposed resolution (issue athenaeum#126); some don't. The user is the final authority — never resolve without confirmation.

Surface

  • CLI: athenaeum questions count|next|list [--with-proposal] [--json]
  • MCP tools: list_pending_questions, resolve_question(id, answer)
  • Snooze file: ~/.cache/athenaeum/pending-questions-snoozed-until (ISO-8601 UTC)

Flow (six steps)

  1. Run athenaeum questions count --json. If count is 0, tell the user "no pending questions" and stop.

  2. Loop. On each iteration call athenaeum questions next --with-proposal --json. The result has the shape {id, entity, source, question, conflict_type, description, created_at, proposal}. Render it to the user as a short block:

    • entity, question, conflict_type
    • description (verbatim)
    • the proposal block when non-empty
  3. Ask the user one of four choices:

    • accept the proposed resolution
    • override with a different answer
    • defer (snooze) — stop now, surface again tomorrow
    • stop — stop now without snoozing
  4. accept: call the resolve_question MCP tool with id and the proposed action (extract the action from the **Proposed resolution**: line in the proposal block, e.g. keep_a, merge, retain_both_with_context). Then loop back to step 2.

  5. override: ask the user for the answer text they want recorded. Call resolve_question with id=<id>, answer=<their text>. Then loop back to step 2.

  6. defer: write ~/.cache/athenaeum/pending-questions-snoozed-until containing an ISO-8601 UTC timestamp ATHENAEUM_PQ_SNOOZE_HOURS (default 24) hours from now. The SessionStart hook reads this and stays silent until then. Stop. (stop is the same minus the snooze write.)

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.
