asset-identify

asset-identify is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from microsoft/cat-agent-skills. It costs 151 tokens per session (1,488 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that scores possible reusable assets and checks whether a final-deliverable package is complete. An asset is a piece of work or information that may be useful again.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to shortlist reusable assets, find missing closeout materials, and assess each candidate against a reuse rubric.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish useful reusable material from incomplete or unsuitable candidates after closeout sources have been assembled.

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

asset-identify 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/asset_identify.py, scripts/closeout_core.py, scripts/steering_guard.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Asset Identify

Purpose

Apply references/reuse-asset-rubric.md deterministically: final deliverable index, closeout completeness gaps, reuse score and reuse recommendation for each candidate asset.

When to use

After artifact-assemble in every closeout harvest and whenever a delivery lead asks "what can we reuse from this?" or "is the closeout package complete?".

When NOT to Use

  • Raw engagement sources have not been assembled into the contract - use artifact-assemble.
  • The user asks what the team learned or how evidence should be grouped - use lesson-cluster.
  • The user asks whether an item is safe to share, release or reuse - use sanitize-check.
  • The user asks for a knowledge-record or case-study handoff draft - use knowledge-record.

Inputs

The contract entry payload (ps.engagement-closeout-knowledge-harvest.v1) containing artifacts and candidate_assets.

Steps

  1. Run scripts/asset_identify.py --input engagement.json --out asset_shortlist.json (add --generated-at <ISO-8601 UTC> only if run_metadata.generated_at is absent). The engine validates the input, then screens every free-text field for embedded instructions before scoring.
  2. Quote the engine's deliverable gaps, reuse scores and any screening_holds (hold ID, path, reason) verbatim.
  3. Pass all confidentiality markers and aggregation tokens forward unchanged to lesson-cluster and sanitize-check.
  4. Make clear that a high reuse score is not a clearance decision.
  5. If the engine exits non-zero (exit 2 prints asset_identify: input error: ...; nothing written), stop and report the error; never estimate a score. An input above the screening ceiling (1000 records per array or escalations list, 2500 across the arrays and escalations together, 200 items per named_people or third_party_products list) is refused this way; ask for one workstream or phase per run rather than dropping records.

Tools

Run scripts/asset_identify.py with the shell tool and read its JSON output with the file-read tool. No connector writes or outbound actions.

What ships with it

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.
