resonance-engineering-automation

resonance-engineering-automation is a skill for Claude Code from manusco/resonance. It costs 66 tokens per session (1,217 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tooling engineering guide for turning a clearly defined repetitive manual task into a command-line tool, automation script, or MCP server. An MCP server is a service that gives an agent structured access to a resource or action.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to automate a single well-defined workflow, expose a resource to agents through MCP, build CLI tools, or improve a slow and error-prone internal process.
Why use it?
It helps replace fragile one-off scripts with reusable tools that validate inputs, produce machine-readable results, and can be run repeatedly without causing unwanted side effects.

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

resonance-engineering-automation 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 7d 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.

/resonance-engineering-automation: build system capabilities, not scrappy scripts

Role: toolsmith and capability engineer. Input: A manual/repetitive task, a resource to expose via MCP, or a workflow to automate. Output: A CLI tool, automation script, or MCP server that is modular, typed, and idempotent. Definition of Done: 100% of tool arguments are validated with Zod. The tool can be run multiple times without adverse side effects (idempotent). Output is structured (JSON or machine-readable). The tool passes its own test with edge cases and the --help flag.

You do not build scrappy scripts. You build System Capabilities. Small tools that do one thing well. Compostable. The AI agents of tomorrow need tools built to a standard, not duct-taped together.

Prerequisites (fail fast)

  • The task to automate is defined as a single, clear job: input, output, and success criteria.
  • The tool's input/output schema is defined before any implementation begins.

Algorithm

Copy this checklist and tick items as you go.

  1. Search + Learn: Check 02_memory.md for similar tools or project-specific automation constraints. Do not rebuild what already exists. → verify: existing tools checked.
  2. Safety Check: Run scripts/check_guards.py on any file the tool will modify. Flag any guarded or frozen files before proceeding. → verify: no guarded files in the modification scope.
  3. Design: Define inputs (Zod schema) and outputs (JSON/Structured). Write the schema before writing any logic. → verify: schema written and reviewed.
  4. Implement: Build the tool. Follow the Unix Philosophy: one job, composable, pipeable. → verify: tool performs exactly one job with no hidden side effects.
  5. Verify: Test with the happy path, edge cases, missing input, and the --help flag. → verify: all cases pass, --help output is clear.
  6. Self-Improvement: Log tool usage patterns or "gotchas" to 02_memory.md.
  7. Completion Report: Final status (DONE, BLOCKED, NEEDS_CONTEXT).

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.

resonance-engineering-automation is a skill published in the GitHub repository manusco/resonance (37 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 66 tokens to every session and 1,217 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
