meta-observer

meta-observer is a skill for Claude Code from mshadmanrahman/pm-pilot. It costs 10 tokens per session (587 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for tracking how coding-agent skills are used and how well they perform. It records triggers, outcomes, corrections, duration, and recurring patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review skill usage after sessions, log observations, find improvement areas, and identify gaps in an add-on collection.
Why use it?
It helps identify skills that are unused, often corrected, missing, or activated at the wrong time.

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

meta-observer 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 8d 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.

Meta Observer

Track which skills are used, how well they work, and what patterns emerge.

When to Use

  • Explicitly: "observe skills", "skill performance"
  • Passively: after any session with 3+ skill invocations
  • Periodically: weekly review of skill usage

What to Track

For each skill invocation:

  • Skill name: which skill was triggered
  • Trigger: what phrase or condition activated it
  • Outcome: success, partial, failed
  • Corrections: did the user correct the output
  • Duration: rough time spent (fast/medium/slow)

Procedure

  1. Log Observation Append to .claude/logs/skill-observations.md:

    ## {date}
    
    | Skill | Trigger | Outcome | Corrections | Notes |
    |-------|---------|---------|-------------|-------|
    | {name} | {trigger} | {outcome} | {yes/no} | {brief note} |
    
  2. Detect Patterns After logging, scan for:

    • Skills never used (candidates for removal)
    • Skills frequently corrected (need refinement)
    • Missing skills (user repeatedly does something manually)
    • Trigger mismatches (wrong skill activates)
  3. Surface Insights When patterns emerge:

    Skill Observations:
    - {skill} triggered {count} times, corrected {count} times
    - Pattern: {description of recurring issue}
    - Suggestion: {improvement recommendation}
    
  4. Update Lessons Write significant findings to tasks/lessons.md:

    • Skill gaps discovered
    • Trigger improvements needed
    • Workflow optimizations found

Output Format

Skill Observations (last 7 days):
  Most used: orchestrator (8x), tdd-workflow (5x)
  Corrected: handoff-doc (2x) - missing file paths
  Unused: meta-observer, strategic-compact
  Pattern: Users trigger "verify" but mean "tdd-workflow"
  Suggestion: Add "verify" as tdd-workflow trigger

Rules

  • Never block workflow to observe; logging is lightweight
  • Keep observation log append-only (never delete entries)
  • Surface insights only when explicitly asked or patterns are strong
  • Create .claude/logs/ directory if it does not exist
  • Observations are internal; never include in external docs

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.
