ask

ask is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from maxwellsdm1867/wheeler. It costs 21 tokens per session (699 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A lookup action for searching the Wheeler knowledge graph, which stores connected research records and their origins.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to look up records, follow their provenance, and discover connections in Wheeler.
Why use it?
It helps you trace where information came from and find links between recorded items without inspecting them one by one.

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

ask 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.

What it actually says

Call get_act on the wheeler_core MCP server with name="ask", then follow the returned instructions exactly. They are the authoritative definition of this act. Do not improvise the workflow or substitute your own plan for it.

Pass host="codex" when running under Codex so the orchestration guidance matches the tools this host actually has.

Mode: execute. Orchestration: none.

If get_act is unavailable, the Wheeler MCP servers are not connected. Say so rather than guessing at the workflow: acting without the act text is how provenance gets silently skipped.

Changes

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.

ask is a skill published in the GitHub repository maxwellsdm1867/wheeler (10 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 699 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-31.
