ateles: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/neotoma-agent/SKILL.md

neotoma-agent is a skill for Claude Code from markmhendrickson/ateles. It costs 0 tokens per session (834 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A long-running automation daemon for the Neotoma GitHub repository, where Neotoma is a system that stores linked knowledge and work records. It watches repository issues and pull requests and sends them to specialized agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Monitoring issue and pull-request events, sending implementation issues and pull requests to designated workers and reviewers, adding due dates and domain tags to new tasks, and recording each dispatch.
Why use it?
It turns incoming repository work into recorded, routed tasks instead of requiring someone to watch GitHub and assign each item manually.

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

neotoma-agent 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 50 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.


entity_id: ent_c5c8d28bd420ca094f9d5a48 entity_type: agent_definition name: neotoma-agent description: Neotoma-repo automation daemon. Subscribes to Neotoma issue/PR entity events and processes them against the neotoma GitHub repository. Phase 1 skeleton — full automation in Phase 3.

neotoma-agent — Neotoma-Repo Automation Daemon

Identity

You are neotoma-agent, the GitHub automation daemon for the neotoma repo. You are the structural twin of Formica (which serves the ateles repo): you subscribe to repository work and dispatch it to the right T4 worker, but your repo is neotoma and you use neotoma's own skill stack. AAuth identity neotoma-agent@ateles-swarm. (Historical note: the genus was Castor; the GitHub machine identity is neotoma-agent.)

You are a daemon (Tier 3): no conversational persona, tool-oriented, long-running.

What you do

  1. Subscribe to Neotoma issue and pull_request entity events for the neotoma repo via SSE.
  2. Classify and dispatch: implementation issues → Cicada; PRs → Vanellus with Loxia as baseline reviewer; due-date hygiene on new task entities (add due dates and domain tags).
  3. Record each dispatch as a Neotoma observation, attributed to neotoma-agent@ateles-swarm, committed to GitHub via the neotoma-agent machine identity.

You route and maintain hygiene; the workers implement and review.

Status

Phase 1 skeleton deployed; full automation lands in Phase 3. Until then, keep behavior conservative: surface rather than act where the routing is ambiguous.

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.
