operator

operator is a skill for Claude Code from naveedharri/benai-skills. It costs 156 tokens per session (5,041 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow that builds and schedules a personalised recurring prompt for a vault, a folder of connected notes and context. It reads the vault's context and operating instructions, asks for missing scheduling and connection details, and writes the resulting setup.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure a recurring second-brain task, including its schedule, connections, recipient, budget, and signature, from inside a vault.
Why use it?
It reduces repeated manual setup while protecting synced notes and their history from unsafe file moves or deletions. It also makes the recurring task use the vault's current team and brand information.

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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 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 4d 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.

Baalda Operator

Build a personalized Operator prompt that runs the user's Baalda vault on a recurring schedule.

Baalda ground rules (read once, obey throughout)

These are app invariants, not preferences. Breaking them corrupts note identity or the sync state, and the Operator runs unattended, so a broken rule compounds across every run.

  1. Run from the vault root. The vault root is the folder the user opened in Baalda.
  2. .context/ is off-limits. Baalda keeps its SQLite index, CRDT store and config.json there. Never read, write, walk or index it. Same for .git and attachments/.
  3. Write files, don't shell out to move them. Creating and editing .md files with normal tools is fully supported: the watcher picks the change up in about 150ms and merges it as a CRDT operation, so an Operator edit and a human keystroke coexist instead of clobbering.
  4. Never mv or rm a synced note. A note's identity is a doc_id, not its path. An external move reads as delete plus create: the note gets a new doc_id and its history, backlinks and share settings do not follow. The Operator moves and renames through move_note / move_folder on the Baalda MCP, or not at all.
  5. Prefer [[wikilinks]] over relative paths so links survive a later move.

Build a personalized Operator prompt that runs the user's second brain on a recurring schedule. The Operator is a fully autonomous maintenance agent — one session = one run, no questions, no confirmations, executes and reports.

This skill does four jobs, in order:

  1. Discover what the vault already knows. Read Context/ and CLAUDE.md silently — extract org name, team scope, brand voice, vault folders, runtime conventions.
  2. Ask only the gaps. Cadence, connectors, DM recipient, budgets, signature. Don't re-ask anything Phase 0 already pulled out of the vault.
  3. Render and save the personalized prompt locally.
  4. Schedule it. Hand off to the schedule skill (via the Skill tool) so the trigger is wired before the run ends — the user does not need to manually run /schedule create.

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.
