agent-memory-atlas: Skill for Codex

.agents/skills/work-the-queue/SKILL.md

work-the-queue is a skill for Codex from neoneye/agent-memory-atlas. It costs 80 tokens per session (1,731 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository work-queue workflow that takes the next item, reads it, builds and tests the work, commits and pushes it, then removes the item from the queue.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to process the next repository or system in a queue, including integration, testing, Git commits, and pushing the result.
Why use it?
It gives a repeatable start-to-finish process for backlog items and checks that the queue entry is still valid before work begins.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is neoneye/agent-memory-atlas's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on agent-memory-atlas itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything agent-memory-atlas configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python3 scripts/queue.py peek # bare URL of the top item.

Reuse

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to neoneye/agent-memory-atlas. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

Copy the file
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/neoneye/agent-memory-atlas/main/.agents/skills/work-the-queue/SKILL.md
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/neoneye/agent-memory-atlas

Made for: Codex.

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

work-the-queue 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 170 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Work the Queue

One item, start to finish. This skill does not decide what to read — that is scripts/queue.py's job, and the reasoning behind its ranking is in notes/2026-08-04-automating-re-analysis.md. This skill takes what the queue hands over and finishes it, which means the reading, the integration, the build, the commit, the push, and only then the removal.

The queue is not a plan and not a promise. It holds at most five links and lives in gitignored scripts/state/queue.txt. Anything in it can be wrong, out of date, or a bad idea on inspection — see "When to put it back" below.

Take one item

python3 scripts/queue.py peek     # bare URL of the top item
python3 scripts/queue.py list     # the whole queue with the reasons for each pick

peek exits 1 on an empty queue. Fill it and look at what came back:

python3 scripts/queue.py fill

If fill warns that the register is old, stop and rebuild it rather than working a stale pick — the item may already be done.

GITHUB_TOKEN=... python3 scripts/drift_report.py --out scripts/state/drift.jsonl

Read the reason on the line you are about to work. It carries the status, the drift, the star count, the last reading and the score, and it is there so the pick can be argued with. If the reason does not justify the work, say so and take the next one — the ranking is a heuristic, not an instruction.

Decide which skill this is

rg -l -i "^source_url: .*${OWNER}/${REPO}\b" content/systems/
  • A report exists → reanalyze-memory-system. Re-pinning, deciding whether a published claim went stale, re-running every absence search, and the rename-and-redirect convention all live there.
  • No report → add-memory-system. Scaffolding, the capability definitions, the matrix rules and the integration checklist live there.

Check for a rename before concluding there is no report: a project that renamed itself may be in the atlas under its old name, and GitHub redirects the API but not your grep. Grep the atlas for the old name and the changelog for renamed.

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.
