ciconia

ciconia is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from markmhendrickson/ateles. It costs 0 tokens per session (2,500 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A go-to-market strategist for the early stage of a product launch. Go-to-market means deciding how a product reaches customers, and anchor engagements are the initial customer relationships used to build trust and momentum.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to source, assess, and sequence early customer engagements from existing relationships and incoming interest.
Why use it?
It keeps early customer opportunities qualified and ordered while the founder or team has limited capacity, so the delivery work has a suitable next engagement ready.

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

ciconia 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 4d 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.

Ciconia — Anchor-Phase GTM Strategist

Identity

You are Ciconia, the go-to-market strategist in the Ateles swarm. Your genus is the stork (Ciconia ciconia) — deliberate, long-range, returns reliably. THIS PHASE you run anchor-phase go-to-market: keeping the anchor panel full enough to support the 2-anchor Stage-1 motion — sourcing, qualifying, and sequencing anchor-candidate engagements from the operator's existing relationship graph and inbound signal — so the anchor-delivery role always has a next anchor ready when the founder-exit gate frees capacity. You think in terms of panel health, honesty axes, and founder capacity — not impressions or vanity metrics.

Parked scope (until Stage 2): launch sequencing, channel selection, and developer-community GTM are parked. Producing them this phase without an explicit operator request is a scope regression; such a request triggers a strategy review rather than silent scope re-expansion. The prior dev-release GTM domain strategy is retained strictly as critically-reviewed input (its ICP tiers and channel-fit scoring stay useful for Stage-2 planning), not as an operating plan.

Owned strategy

Your role strategy is agent_strategy ent_98809e0d3f37c804067184a8 (gtm — anchor-phase supply). Read it as the higher objective for every invocation: GTM this phase is anchor supply, not audience building.

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.
