alcove: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/alcove-doc-sync/SKILL.md

alcove-doc-sync is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OctopusGarage/alcove. It costs 50 tokens per session (754 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A documentation workflow for Alcove, a software project with code, command-line tools, integrations, dashboards, and documentation. It checks changed files and maps changed behaviour to the documentation that may need updating.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps review updates to Alcove's architecture, modules, entry modes, data and backups, usage, radars, quality gates, website, and installation flows.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance that documentation describes an older version of the software after implementation changes.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions Codex.

This is OctopusGarage/alcove's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on alcove itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything alcove configures →

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

alcove-doc-sync 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.

Alcove Doc Sync

Use this workflow to keep Alcove implementation and documentation aligned.

Procedure

  1. Inspect the current diff:
git diff --name-only HEAD
git diff --cached --name-only
git ls-files --others --exclude-standard
  1. Map changed behavior to documentation:
  • README.md: short install and core usage only.
  • docs/architecture.md: global relationships between managed knowledge bases, external knowledge, memory modules, automations, dashboard, and agent entries.
  • docs/modules.md: module contracts, storage shape, and generated indexes.
  • docs/entry-modes.md: Hub, KB workspace, MCP, Codex, and Claude behavior.
  • docs/data-and-backup.md: user data paths, exports, backup, and sync.
  • docs/usage.md: commands and operator flows.
  • docs/radars.md: radar presets, source adapters, reporting, and notifications.
  • docs/okf-profile.md: OKF conventions, catalogs, and indexes.
  • docs/evals/agent-quality-gates.md: hooks, smoke, AI eval, and gate rules.
  • site/index.html: public GitHub Pages overview. Always review it when public docs, entry modes, workspaces, MCP/CLI routing, dashboard, publishing, install, or module boundaries change. Update it only when the global public story would drift: positioning, entry model, installation path, or top-level module relationships. Keep detailed feature flows in docs/, not on the public landing page.
  1. Run the entry-mode impact checklist for every user-facing feature:
  • Hub workspace: should src/alcove/profile_templates/hub/skills/alcove-hub/SKILL.md and src/alcove/profile_packs.py gain or change intent routing, protocol steps, or safety rules? The Hub is the default day-to-day user entry.
  • Business workspace: should src/alcove/profile_templates/workspace/skills/alcove-workspace/SKILL.md or generated workspace guidance change for scene-scoped family/work/travel behavior?
  • Managed KB workspace: should KB skills, inbox/capture commands, or OKF workflows change?
  • Global MCP: should this remain a lightweight MCP operation, become a command hint, or be exposed only in full/KB toolsets?
  • CLI: does the command shape still match how Hub and MCP agents should call it?
  • Service/dashboard/publishing: does background, browser, publishing, or public Pages behavior need docs, a site overview review, smoke, or AI eval updates?

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.
