attack-shape

attack-shape is a skill for Codex from OutlineDriven/outline-driven-development. It costs 34 tokens per session (1,053 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A structured conversation for testing an architecture or design by attacking its weak points while another participant defends it, or by reversing those roles.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to stress-test a proposed system architecture, data structure, or other technical design.
Why use it?
It exposes coupling, unclear boundaries, scaling problems, and failure cases before implementation. The surviving design or the reasons it broke are recorded in the conversation.

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

attack-shape 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.

Attack shape

Contract

Field Bound contract
Trigger User wants adversarial stress-testing of an architecture, structure, or shape. Either the agent attacks and the human defends, or the agent proposes and the human attacks.
Authority Read-only. No file, VCS, credential, paid, published, deployed, or remote mutation. The agent emits chat output only.
Side effect An attack or proposal transcript in chat, plus the surviving or broken shape recorded in chat.
Done The shape has been attacked from both directions, the human has defended or attacked, and the surviving shape (or non-converged record) is recorded.

Inputs

The proposed architecture, structure, or shape to test. The human must supply it as text, a diagram description, or a reference to an artifact already in context. Without it the skill stops.

Optional: named attack axes the human wants prioritized (coupling, abstraction depth, failure modes, scalability, ownership boundaries).

Optional: a scope limit naming what is out of bounds for the attack.

Optional: constraints, scale, existing components, and non-goals for a proposal round.

A human participant must be present; the skill does not converge without one.

Procedure

  1. Restate the target shape from the supplied input and confirm scope with the human before attacking or proposing. Do not test material outside the stated scope. Done when: the shape is restated and scope is confirmed.

  2. Determine the direction. If the human supplied a shape to attack, the agent attacks and the human defends. If the human asked the agent to propose, the agent proposes and the human attacks. Done when: the direction is set and the first move is made.

  3. Enumerate the attack axes relevant to the shape: coupling between parts, abstraction depth versus leakage, failure and recovery paths, scalability and growth pressure, ownership and boundary clarity, plus any named axes the human supplied. Done when: all relevant axes are enumerated.

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.
