automation

automation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nexus-research-lab/nexus. It costs 76 tokens per session (776 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Instructions for managing scheduled tasks through the host's structured automation tool, including reminders, delayed work, recurring checks, and result delivery.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to query, create, update, delete, run, retry, or inspect scheduled tasks and their deliveries.
Why use it?
They enforce a defined inspect, plan, approval, apply, and verify process so scheduled-task changes are authorized and checked.

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

automation 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 10d 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

Nexus 自动化

Automation 使用宿主提供的 nexus.command,并绑定当前 owner、Agent、DM/Room/IM Session 与可选 job/run。不要声明或覆盖这些 identity,也不要通过 shell、其他管理入口或文件构造命令。

固定生命周期

  1. 每个新意图先调用 current contract:

    {"domain":"automation","action":"contract"}
    

    严格遵守返回的 contract。不要探测命令路径、临时文件或环境变量。

  2. 只选择 current contract 实际列出的 operation。每次新输入前重新读取该 operation 的 exact contract,并把完整 closed object 直接放在 input 字段中;不要落盘或通过 shell 转码。

  3. query 使用 inspect。mutation 固定走 inspect → plan → apply → verify:先定位唯一任务与 revision;检查 plan 的 normalized input、target、summary、risk、current_revisionplan_digest;apply 时复用同一结构化 input。

  4. apply 使用 plan 的 current_revision 和稳定 request ID,并由当前 Nexus/Room/IM 会话发起原生真人确认。没有真实 allow 就没有写入;plan 本身不代表用户批准或状态已改变。

  5. apply 后用 fresh input inspect get;执行/投递问题读取 runs、events 或 report。只按返回的 typed object 判断结果。

按当前动作读取参考

只读取当前动作需要的参考;字段目录以 current contract 的 operation definition 为准。

权限边界

  • 普通 Agent 只能管理自身任务;Room 自动绑定当前可信会话。外部 IM 默认绑定当前会话,也可以从 Nexus 桌面会话先查询 delivery_targets,再选择同一 Agent 的 active-paired 私聊。
  • 不要猜或拼装 channel、account、target、thread、Session 或 DeliveryGrant。delivery_session_key 只能原样使用 delivery_targets 的当前返回值;它只是宿主验证的选择器,不是授权凭据。外部 IM 的空任务查询仍只覆盖当前会话。
  • 后台 scheduled run 只有宿主绑定 job/run 的查询权限,不得创建、修改、运行或删除任务。
  • apply 的确认只批准管理命令。任务运行时仍服从其 permission mode、工具 allow/deny 快照与持久审批;页面或 IM 的 /y/a/d 只恢复对应 logical run,nexus.command 不直接批准工具 permission request。
  • script task 属于人工控制面,Agent 不创建、修改、删除、修复或立即运行。

回复只说明真实变更、作用域、排程、投递和验证结果,不输出 capability、内部路由、权限快照或完整审计载荷。

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.
