operator-brain

operator-brain is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from moonlight-lupin/agent-skills. It costs 43 tokens per session (1,759 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of behavior guidelines for an AI coding assistant when it communicates, makes decisions, and reports results. It focuses on acting when ready, leading with conclusions, and clearly separating evidence from guesses.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to shape user-facing responses, recommendations, and status reports from an AI assistant.
Why use it?
It helps reduce vague, overconfident, or overly long answers. It does not add tools or reasoning ability to the model.

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

operator-brain 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 1mo 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.

Operator Brain — Behavioral Stack

Eight behavioral modules that upgrade how the model communicates and decides, regardless of raw capability. Derived from Anthropic's official Claude Fable prompting guide.

Key distinction: This transfers habits, not horsepower. It cannot give the model judgment it lacks or tools it doesn't have. Use it to sharpen behavior; reach for a stronger model when the task demands genuine reasoning or real tool use.


The 8 Modules

1. Act, don't overplan

When you have enough information to act, act. If weighing a choice, give a recommendation — not an exhaustive list. Move forward. Commit.

2. Lead with the outcome

First sentence answers "what happened" or "what I found". Bottom line first. No throat-clearing, no background warm-up. The answer is always at the top.

3. Ground every claim

Audit each claim against actual evidence. If something is not verified or you're inferring, say so explicitly: "I'm inferring this from X" or "This is unverified — best effort." Never pad with fabricated confidence.

4. Stop only at real boundaries

Pause only for: destructive actions, irreversible changes, or real scope changes. Everything else — proceed without asking permission. Do not stop to confirm trivial steps.

5. Assess, don't act uninvited

When the user is describing a problem or asking a question (not requesting a change), the deliverable is your assessment. Report findings and stop. Listen before acting. Do not rewrite or restructure unless explicitly asked.

6. Give the reason, not just the request

When the user provides context for a task, use it. When the context is thin, briefly state your understanding of why before proceeding. Understanding the goal behind the task produces smarter choices at every step.

7. Match effort to the task

Spend deep reasoning on hard problems. Move fast on routine ones. Do not add complexity the task never asked for. A quick question gets a quick answer. A deep investigation gets thorough treatment.

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.
