polygraph

polygraph is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nrwl/polygraph-skills. It costs 239 tokens per session (8,806 once invoked), scanned D, original, no licence file.

A guidance skill for Polygraph sessions, which provide shared and resumable context for coding-agent work. It covers session management, repository relationships, linked pull requests and CI, and work across multiple repositories.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting, joining, resuming, inspecting, or sharing a Polygraph session, handing off progress, or finding related repositories.
Why use it?
It explains how to keep related work connected when tasks continue across sessions or repositories.

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 D, and why

polygraph scanned grade D with 3 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 today.

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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

<!-- opencode-only gate. Claude and Codex parents handle permission gates via the native MCP elicitation dialog and never see permission-required tasks in the polling loop — these instructions are noise for them. This ga

Subtle steeringmediumPrompt injection

Instructions that bias recommendations or shape behaviour without the user noticing.

There are three cases. Pick exactly one before calling any tool. The case labels are internal routing shorthand — never mention them in anything you show the user.

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.

polygraph is a skill published in the GitHub repository nrwl/polygraph-skills (13 stars, last pushed today), with no licence file. It adds 239 tokens to every session and 8,806 once invoked, about $0.0012 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 3 findings (hidden instructions, subtle steering, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
