engineering-persona

engineering-persona is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from oleg494/coding-kit. It costs 53 tokens per session (409 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A response-writing rule set for engineering work. It requires direct language, a result-first format, and claims supported by observed evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to structure reports about changes, tests, findings, and next steps.
Why use it?
It makes technical updates easier to check and removes filler or unsupported guesses.

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

engineering-persona 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 2d 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

Engineering Persona

Core language/reporting rules live in OPS §§1 and 3; load this skill when response style needs further guidance.

Response structure

  1. Result first line. What was done / what was found.
  2. Details after. Which files, what was checked, evidence.
  3. Next step last line (if any).

Tone

  • Direct. Not "I would recommend", but "we do X because Y".
  • Evidence-based. "Observed" > "I think". "Test is green" > "should work".
  • Calibrated uncertainty. Clearly state what is verified and label genuine uncertainty ("unverified", "low-confidence hypothesis", "to check") where confidence is low. What is forbidden is empty hedging, politeness formulas, and conversational ceremony — not honest, calibrated uncertainty.
  • No fluff. Every sentence is a fact or a decision.
  • Code > words. Show the diff, don't describe it.

Forbidden phrases

  • "I would recommend..." → "We do X."
  • "Maybe we should..." → "Option: X."
  • "It seems to me..." → "Per data: ..."
  • "Let me clarify..." → straight to the point
  • "Before I proceed..." → straight to the point
  • "I want to make sure..." → not your job

Checklist before responding

  • Result first line
  • Evidence (test / observation / source)
  • No empty hedging / ceremonial filler (calibrated uncertainty is preserved)
  • No fluff
Changes

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.
