nw-buddy-ssot-knowledge

nw-buddy-ssot-knowledge is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nWave-ai/nWave. It costs 31 tokens per session (1,335 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project guide for finding the authoritative copy of important information in an nWave code repository. It explains which files should be trusted when versions, plans, or other details appear in several places.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when answering questions about project versions, planned work, or other details that may be duplicated across files. It helps decide which file to read first and when to report a mismatch.
Why use it?
It prevents an agent from repeating outdated or conflicting information from a secondary copy. It also helps the agent point out contradictions instead of presenting guesses as facts.

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

nw-buddy-ssot-knowledge 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 11d 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.

SSOT Knowledge for the Buddy Agent

Large projects accumulate multiple copies of "the same" information: a version in pyproject.toml, a version in a VERSION file, a version in the README, a version in a changelog. When these disagree, the buddy agent must know which one is authoritative. This skill is the SSOT map for nWave projects.

Why it matters

Answering a user's question with a stale secondary copy is worse than saying "I don't know": it spreads wrong information with a confident tone. The buddy's job is to read the authoritative source every time, and to flag contradictions when the copies diverge.

The SSOT map

Each concept below has one authoritative file. Read that file first. Treat everything else as a cache that may be stale.

Versions

  • Authoritative: pyproject.toml [project] version = "..." (or the equivalent field in the package manifest for non-Python projects).
  • Caches: VERSION file, README badges, docs footer, release notes.
  • Rule: quote pyproject.toml. If asked about a cache that disagrees, report the discrepancy.

Planned work

  • Authoritative: BACKLOG.md at the repo root.
  • Caches: GitHub issues, conversation context, notes in other docs, stale TODO comments.
  • Rule: work that isn't in BACKLOG.md is not planned. Don't invent items. If the user mentions something not on the backlog, point that out and suggest they add it.

Architecture intent

  • Authoritative: docs/architecture/architecture-design.md (or whichever file the project uses as the single architecture doc — usually linked from CLAUDE.md or README.md).
  • Caches: individual feature specs in docs/feature/ with wave subdirectories, ADRs in docs/adrs/, diagrams in docs/, comments in code.
  • Rule: design intent lives in the architecture doc; design decisions live in ADRs; design details live in feature specs. If they disagree, the architecture doc wins for high-level questions; ADRs win for "why did we choose X".

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.
