gut-sync

gut-sync is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OutlineDriven/odin-claude-plugin. It costs 40 tokens per session (679 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workspace orientation tool creates a small card describing the current project's structure, important rules, and likely problem areas. It reads the workspace and any notes the user supplies without changing them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a workspace, recent files, plans, to-do notes, handoffs, and session context, then return a concise orientation card.
Why use it?
It helps someone resume work without remembering the whole previous session or searching the project blindly.

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

gut-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 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.

Gut sync

Contract

Field Bound contract
Trigger User resumes work and needs an orientation card without full human recall.
Authority Read-only. No file, VCS, credential, paid, published, deployed, or remote mutation.
Side effect Reads current workspace state, recent artifacts, and session context only.
Done A small orientation card is returned containing shape, invariants, and smell locations.

Inputs

  • Current workspace directory to orient on (must be supplied).
  • Optional: session or handoff notes, plan/todo files, or recent artifacts the user points at. When absent, recover what is reachable from the workspace alone.

Procedure

  1. Bound scope to read-only inspection of the current workspace directory and any session or handoff notes the user supplies. Do not open files outside that scope. Done when: scope is bounded to the supplied workspace directory and user-named notes, and no file outside that scope is opened.
  2. List the workspace tree depth-limited and read the most recently modified files, any plan/todo/handoff notes, and reachable session context to recover what work was in flight. Done when: the workspace tree is listed depth-limited, the most recently modified files are read, and any plan/todo/handoff notes and session context are read or confirmed absent.
  3. Derive the shape: name the active work unit, its current state, and the next intended action. Done when: the shape names the active work unit, its current state, and the next intended action, each sourced from workspace reads or marked unknown.
  4. Derive the invariants: list constraints, contracts, or rules the work must not violate. Done when: the invariants list names every constraint, contract, or rule the work must not violate, each sourced from workspace reads or marked unknown.
  5. Derive the smell locations: point at files or areas where decay, drift, risk, or unfinished work is concentrated. Done when: the smell locations point at specific files or areas where decay, drift, risk, or unfinished work is concentrated, each sourced from workspace reads or marked unknown.
  6. Assemble the orientation card from steps 3-5 only. Mark any field that could not be recovered as unknown rather than guessing. Done when: the orientation card is assembled from the shape, invariants, and smell locations only, and every field that could not be recovered is marked unknown rather than guessed.

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.
