ask-navigator

ask-navigator is a skill for Claude Code from naimkatiman/continuous-improvement. It costs 78 tokens per session (3,084 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of ask-navigator, MIT.

A discovery workflow that turns an unclear software effort into decision tickets in the repository's issue tracker. It resolves open questions one session at a time and produces a brief for later implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explore uncertain work, record the decisions needed, and prepare a mission brief for a delivery workflow.
Why use it?
It prevents coding from starting before the goal and key decisions are clear. It also keeps facts separate from choices that require the developer's approval.

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

ask-navigator 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 128 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ask Navigator

Ask-navigator is the shipyard's navigator: it takes an effort wrapped in fog — the way from here to the destination isn't visible yet — and charts it as a map of decision tickets on the repo's issue tracker, then works the frontier one ticket per session until the route is clear. It produces decisions, never deliverables: when the way is clear it hands off, it doesn't build. Delivery belongs to /oh-my-claudecode:launch.

The role contract. The captain (the human) signs the destination (W1) and the chart (W2); the navigator drafts everything else and never answers a question that belongs to the captain — a grilling session in which the agent answers its own questions has broken the role, not just the process. Facts are the navigator's job; decisions are the captain's.

Fog test. An effort has fog when either answer is no:

  1. Q1 — Can the destination be stated in one sentence: the spec, decision, or change this effort is finding its way to?
  2. Q2 — Can the first three decisions be stated precisely right now, even though none of them can be answered yet?

Both yes → no map is needed; run /oh-my-claudecode:launch (its fog gate sends efforts here only when an answer is no). Either no → chart first. ask-navigator is also reachable directly: invoke it with a loose idea, with residual questions handed over by launch's fog gate, or with no argument to continue the open map.

Map home

The map is a single issue labelled navigator:map on the repo's issue tracker; its decision tickets are child issues of the map. The tracker should have been recorded by /oh-my-claudecode:drydock; if none was recorded, ask once (GitHub / GitLab / local markdown) and remember the answer inside the map's Notes.

  • Tracker-backed (GitHub, GitLab, or recorded tracker): one map issue, child issues per ticket, native blocking/sub-issue relationships. Concurrent sessions and the tracker's own UI render the frontier — the map lives where humans already look. Create the navigator:map label if the tracker doesn't have it yet; ticket types live in the ticket body, not in labels.
  • Local markdown fallback: .omc/wayfinder/<map-slug>/map.md plus decisions/NN-<slug>.md, one file per ticket, numbered in dependency order. Local mode has no concurrent-claim guarantee: it is single-driver by convention, stated once in the map's Notes.

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.
