instruction-maintainer

instruction-maintainer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nrh387/Cognition-Compiler. It costs 40 tokens per session (1,638 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A skill that turns repeated corrections to AI output into reusable project instructions, after asking whether to save them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to maintain Copilot or other scoped instruction files based on user corrections and manual edits.
Why use it?
It prevents the same guidance from having to be repeated while limiting changes to the smallest necessary update.

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

instruction-maintainer 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.

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.
