explicit-identity

explicit-identity is a skill for Claude Code from parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3. It costs 9 tokens per session (306 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A development practice for passing explicit IDs, such as session IDs, through processes and asynchronous tasks. It prevents different runs or sessions from being mixed up.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when spawning processes, correlating traces, storing session state, or handling asynchronous workflows.
Why use it?
Relying on the latest or current session can produce race conditions and attach results to the wrong work.

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

explicit-identity 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 8d 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

Explicit Identity Across Boundaries

Never rely on "latest" or "current" when crossing process or async boundaries.

Pattern

Pass explicit identifiers through the entire pipeline. "Most recent" is a race condition.

DO

  • Pass --session-id $ID when spawning processes
  • Store IDs in state files for later correlation
  • Use full UUIDs, not partial matches
  • Keep different ID types separate (don't collapse concepts)

DON'T

  • Query for "most recent session" at execution time
  • Assume the current context will still be current after await/spawn
  • Collapse different ID types:
    • session_id = Claude Code session (human-facing)
    • root_span_id = Braintrust trace (query key)
    • turn_span_id = Braintrust turn within session

Example

// BAD: race condition at session boundaries
spawn('analyzer', ['--learn'])  // defaults to "most recent"

// GOOD: explicit identity
spawn('analyzer', ['--learn', '--session-id', input.session_id])

Source Sessions

  • 1c21e6c8: Defined session_id vs root_span_id distinction
  • 6a9f2d7a: Fixed wrong-session attribution via explicit passing
  • a541f08a: Confirmed pattern prevents race at session boundaries
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.

explicit-identity is a skill published in the GitHub repository parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 (3,938 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 9 tokens to every session and 306 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
