task-snapshot

task-snapshot is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from marin-community/marin. It costs 29 tokens per session (304 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A procedure for creating a fixed commit or tag snapshot of selected project files.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps record exact code, commands, settings, benchmark results, and links needed to reproduce or review a completed checkpoint.
Why use it?
It preserves a stable reference for a milestone, experiment, handoff, or reproducible result while the project continues to change.

About the project

Marin is an open-source research program, software platform, and community for developing foundation models such as large language models. Researchers use it for data preparation, tokenization, pretraining, posttraining, evaluation, and related experiments, including work on audio-text, DNA, and protein models. The catalogue entries are add-ons that support workflows around Marin.

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

task-snapshot 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 5d 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.

What it actually says

Skill: Task Snapshot

Use this when a result, milestone, or handoff needs stable references that will remain valid as a branch keeps moving.

Snapshot Choices

  • Use a commit link for ordinary task milestones.
  • Use an annotated tag for meaningful experiment checkpoints, published numbers, or long-lived handoffs.
  • Include only relevant files in the snapshot commit.

Snapshot Comment

When posting a snapshot to an issue or PR, include:

  • Commit or tag link.
  • Pinned GitHub tree/file links for logbooks, benchmark outputs, configs, and reports.
  • Exact command(s).
  • Relevant details like: hardware/cluster and device count; critical, durable, non-secret environment variables; primary comparison table or a link to W&B/report artifacts.

Pinned GitHub tree links should include the commit or tag, for example:

https://github.com/marin-community/marin/tree/<commit-or-tag>/.agents/logbooks/<topic>.md

Prefer to use anchor text, even if it's just the filename.

Validation

Before presenting a snapshot as evidence:

  • The command is reproducible from the snapshot.
  • Shapes/configs and environment are explicit.
  • The logbook and issue link to the same result.
  • Dense data has an artifact, W&B, or dashboard link.

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.
