insight-awareness

insight-awareness is a skill for Claude Code from mnthe/hardworker-marketplace. It costs 42 tokens per session (584 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for writing reusable insights in a marked format so hooks can capture them automatically. An insight can be a useful code pattern, workflow, debugging finding, architecture decision, or tool technique.

In plain words
What is it for?
Producing insights that are extracted from session transcripts and saved for later reuse.
Why use it?
It removes the need to save these lessons manually after they appear in a session.

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

insight-awareness 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 11d 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.

Insight Awareness

Overview

This skill guides you on creating valuable insights that will be automatically captured by hooks. You don't need to manually save insights - just generate them in the ★ Insight format and the Stop/SubagentStop hooks will extract them from the transcript.

How It Works

1. You generate: ★ Insight ─────────────────────────────────────
                 [valuable knowledge]
                 ─────────────────────────────────────────────────

2. Hook automatically:
   - Parses transcript after your response
   - Extracts content between markers
   - Saves to ~/.claude/knowledge-extraction/{session-id}/insights.md
   - Tracks state to avoid duplicates

When to Generate Insights

Generate ★ Insight markers when you discover:

Type Description Example
code-pattern Reusable patterns "Prefer useReducer for complex form state"
workflow Efficient processes "Run tests before commit hooks"
debugging Root cause findings "Memory leak caused by unclosed listener"
architecture Design decisions "Use event sourcing for audit trail"
tool-usage Effective techniques "Combine Grep + Read for targeted searches"
standard Standards and conventions "JSON files use 2-space indentation"
convention Naming and file patterns "Scripts follow entity-action.js naming"

Quality Guidelines

Worth Capturing

  • Non-obvious solutions or patterns
  • Project-specific conventions discovered
  • Tool combinations that worked well
  • Debugging techniques that solved real issues
  • Architectural rationale with tradeoffs

Not Worth Capturing

  • Basic syntax or API usage (available in docs)
  • Temporary workarounds without lasting value
  • User-specific preferences without broader applicability
  • Information already documented in project

Insight Format

Use the standard format for automatic extraction:

★ Insight ─────────────────────────────────────
[2-5 lines of valuable, reusable knowledge]
─────────────────────────────────────────────────

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.

insight-awareness is a skill published in the GitHub repository mnthe/hardworker-marketplace (4 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 584 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
