select-build-target

select-build-target is a skill for OpenCode from nullhack/temple8. It costs 22 tokens per session (367 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A selection step for choosing the next source contract to implement from tests marked as pending. It follows dependency order, building lower-level modules before modules that depend on them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it in a test-driven Python build to find the next pending contract, select its feature branch, and include any required shared foundation module.
Why use it?
It turns a large backlog into a clear next task and avoids implementing a module before the code it needs. Pending markers also ensure that revised contracts are selected again.

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

select-build-target 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.

What it actually says

Select Build Target

  1. Load [[software-craft/tdd]], [[software-craft/docstring-lifecycle]], [[software-craft/git-conventions]] — the cycle, the docstring-free-source rule, and the branch model. Ensure the build runs on feature/<session_id>: if absent, branch it off dev (git checkout -b feature/<session_id> dev); if it exists (resumed cycle), check it out. The contract surface was committed to dev at plan, so the branch starts from it.
  2. Discover the backlog: collect tests carrying the pending marker (uv run pytest --collect-only -m pending -q). Map each pending test to the source module it exercises.
  3. Pick the lowest-layer contract that still has pending tests — layer order is dependency order, so a module is built only after the modules it imports are built.
  4. IF a shared or foundation module (shared data types with no dedicated external-boundary test of its own) is needed THEN pull it in and build it alongside the first contract that depends on it; record both.
  5. Treat the pending marker — not the presence of the source .py — as what makes a contract selectable: a reworked contract re-enters the queue even when its .py already exists. IF no pending tests remain anywhere THEN the system is built.
  6. IF the target module's .py already exists (rework) THEN strip it: uv run python scripts/strip_docstrings.py <package>/<module>.py. Skip if absent (new contract).
  7. Skim the target's .pyi and its tests for context, not the whole project.

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.
