session-passive

session-passive is a skill for Claude Code from Marcel-Bich/marcel-bich-claude-marketplace. It costs 138 tokens per session (1,451 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A session mode in which the agent handles most of the work while the user remains available for questions. It does not keep the session alive when it is idle.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you want the agent to continue with an agreed task and ask you only when a real clarification is needed.
Why use it?
It reduces the need for the user to direct every small step while keeping clarification available when the task is unclear.

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

session-passive 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 12d 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.

session-passive - work alongside, user available for clarifications

A credo session runs in exactly one mode - active, passive, or autonomous - set by the /credo:session-* commands and surfaced on every prompt by the session-mode inject line. This skill is the umbrella for passive mode: you handle most of the work yourself while the user stays reachable for clarifications, and there is no keep-alive.

Common core (shared - read the session-active skill)

Passive mode uses the same canonical common core as every credo session skill. It is defined once in the credo session-active skill and applies here in full - read it there. It covers, all unchanged for passive mode:

  • CLARIFY-FIRST and the go-gate (only 1_todo/2_go is buildable) - credo items.
  • Clarify via the Ask tool (G1); a bug report is not an immediate fix (G2).
  • No pause suggestions and drive your recommendation forward - the two attended-only rules (active and passive, NOT autonomous): never proactively suggest a pause / break, and after giving your recommendation drive it forward (planning -> next clarify round, task -> next GO item) instead of asking meta-permission; Ask is only for real clarify / decision / GO.
  • Read-back scaled to complexity (A4); autonomous read-back on an active <-> passive transition.
  • The soft old-item reminder (gentle, on start / resume and occasionally).
  • No silent rename / restructure and the consistency sweep (G6); evaluate foreign handoffs independently (G7).
  • Authority order (E5) and its scoping.
  • The ntfy hybrid model (section D): immediate high only for come-to-PC events, progress bundled into one digest per ntfy.digest_interval_minutes; skip silently if personal.ntfy_topic is empty. Send via the helper ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/credo-ntfy-send.sh "message" (add -t "Title", CREDO_NTFY_PRIORITY=high as needed) - it resolves the topic/server through the cascade internally (credo-config.sh get personal.ntfy_topic) and is a silent no-op when ntfy is not configured.
  • Git-push policy (G5): commit and push immediately; the commit-identity gate lives in the credo budget skill; forbidden commit/push -> WARN, work not securable.
  • The credo safety skill applies always.
  • The building blocks a session ties together (items, verify, requirements-verbatim, audit, diag, orchestration, cross-cutting-checklist-generator, skill-capture, budget, compact-plus, wsl-env).

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.
