pseudomonorepos

pseudomonorepos is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from lossless-group/lossless-agent-skills. It costs 182 tokens per session (5,226 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository structure in which a parent project groups separate child repositories, often as Git submodules, to share documentation and context.

In plain words
What is it for?
Navigating nested repositories, searching shared context, deciding where new projects belong, and choosing between submodules and regular folders.
Why use it?
It helps an agent find related work and choose the correct place for new code, documents, or specifications before making changes.

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

pseudomonorepos 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 — 362 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pseudomonorepos

Not a true monorepo. Not loosely coupled either. A parent repo that adds children (often as git submodules) primarily so the parent can host a context-v/ that aggregates context across them.

When to use this skill

  • Working anywhere under ~/code/lossless-monorepo/ or any of its descendants
  • Starting any task — coding, writing a spec, drafting a prompt, debugging — that might overlap with prior work elsewhere in the tree
  • Scaffolding a new sub-project (where does it go? does it deserve its own pseudomonorepo level?)
  • User mentions "pseudomonorepo", "submodule", "the tree", or any of the named children
  • Considering whether to add a folder/repo as a submodule vs. inline

The behavioral core (this is the actual skill)

Don't rush into creating. Before writing a new spec, prompt, blueprint, doc, or substantial code:

  1. Walk the tree up. Identify which pseudomonorepo level you're in. Walk to the root.
  2. Search prior work at every level's context-v/:
    • Specs, blueprints, prompts, explorations, issues
    • Filenames (use grep/find by topic keywords)
    • Frontmatter tags
  3. Surface what you find to the user. "I see related work in astro-knots/context-v/blueprints/X.md and lossless-monorepo/context-v/explorations/Y.md — should we extend those, link to them, or write something new?"
  4. Cross-reference, don't duplicate. Link to prior work using [[wikilinks]]. Re-stating without linking is a smell.

The escape hatch: ship fast

Sometimes assembling patterns, finding prior work, and writing context-v files slows speed to ship. That's a real tradeoff. When the user signals "just ship it":

  • Acknowledge you're shortcutting the search-first discipline
  • Ship
  • Log refactor debt in the relevant context-v/issues/ or context-v/explorations/ as a one-liner: "Shipped X without searching for prior patterns. Refactor candidate: connect to existing work in [[…]]?"
  • Don't pretend you did the search. Honesty about the shortcut is what makes the refactor possible.

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.
