rote-computer

A workflow guide for carrying out computer tasks across command-line tools, web browsers, and services while recording how the work was done.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps plan and run multi-step computer work, follow required task phases, preserve execution records, and report saved effort.
Why use it?
It gives repeated tasks a defined procedure and keeps evidence of the actions and results, so the work is easier to repeat and check.

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

rote-computer 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 3d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to generic-skill-creator — 26 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 122 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

rote computer

Task-first supertool policy for remembered computer work.

This skill is a thin loader for the colocated skill.spec.yml. The spec is the source of truth for routes, rules, dependencies, imports, resources, recipes, tests, and trace requirements. Do not treat the spec as background prose; treat it as the execution contract for this task.

Runtime Contract

  1. Load ./skill.spec.yml from this skill folder before taking task actions.

  2. When the skillspec CLI is available and the spec shape is unfamiliar, run skillspec sensemake ./skill.spec.yml --view index to learn the section roles, counts, query handles, and navigation grammar without dumping the full YAML.

  3. Then create the ordered phase plan and current-route action checklist:

    skillspec plan ./skill.spec.yml --input='<user task>' --trace-dir "${PWD}/.skillspec/traces"
    skillspec act ./skill.spec.yml --input='<user task>' --run <run_dir> --phase <phase-id>
    
  4. Strip skill invocation prefixes such as /my-skill, $my-skill, or /durable-executor-spec before passing --input.

  5. Preserve the emitted trace run_dir.

  6. Read the full phase plan and action checklist before using tools. Treat them as the active execution SOP, not as advice. The PHASE TOOL BOUNDARY - HARD section is the permission boundary for the next action.

  7. For each execution phase, run skillspec act ./skill.spec.yml --input='<user task>' --run <run_dir> --phase <phase-id> before acting, record phase progress in <run_dir>/execution.jsonl, then run skillspec progress show ./skill.spec.yml --run <run_dir> to see completed, current, blocked, and remaining phases.

  8. Pull active details with skillspec query ./skill.spec.yml <handle> --view summary and relationship edges with skillspec refs ./skill.spec.yml <handle> --view summary. Prefer precise handles such as rule:<id>, rule:<id>.forbid, command:<id>.requires, and state:<id>.next over reading the whole spec.

  9. Before every substrate/tool call, apply the phase tool boundary and checklist allow/deny questions. Any unlisted tool, data source, execution substrate, provider, adapter, CLI, browser mode, API, or skill requires explicit user permission before use. The selected route and matched rules override lower-level skill defaults and generic tool preferences.

  10. When the CLI is available after a trace exists, run skillspec trace align ./skill.spec.yml --decision-trace <run_dir> and, when structured action evidence exists, add --execution-trace <run_dir>/execution.jsonl. The command writes <run_dir>/alignment.json; report the alignment status, meaning, model layers, evidence gaps, user-facing proof rows, summary, and trace path.

  11. If skillspec plan, skillspec act, or skillspec progress is unavailable, fall back to skillspec decide, then manually construct the same ordered phase checklist and progress notes before using tools. If the CLI is unavailable, read skill.spec.yml directly and apply the same contract manually. Do not expand this loader into a second source of truth.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
