lean-build

lean-build is a skill for Codex from mrDesign-ww/vault-os. It costs 36 tokens per session (208 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for building narrowly scoped features while avoiding unnecessary extra systems or options. It emphasizes tracing the complete path through the existing code and stopping once the requested behavior works.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for new behavior, product work, or integrations when you need clear acceptance conditions, explicit exclusions, focused verification, and a defined stopping point.
Why use it?
It reduces overbuilding, duplicated logic, unnecessary configuration, and incomplete feature slices.

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

lean-build 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 7d 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

Lean build

Native Core's architecture-first simplicity remains mandatory. Turn feature into complete narrow outcome fitting system.

  • Derive observable acceptance and explicit non-goals from request and repository.
  • Trace entry point through layers owning invariants.
  • Deliver coherent end-to-end path across responsible layers; never force work into one file, direct expression, or local patch.
  • Reuse fitting seam. Refactor when patching duplicates behavior, weakens ownership, or hides root cause.
  • Omit modes, providers, config, extensibility, and polish unless acceptance needs them.
  • Add surface, dependency, service, config, or migration only for lifecycle design or acceptance; state material tradeoff.
  • Keep work runnable; preserve Core safety.

Exercise path. Run focused proof. Stop when acceptance passes. Report only material omissions and trigger.

Files

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.
