hitkeep: Skill for Codex

.agents/skills/hitkeep-workspace/SKILL.md

hitkeep-workspace is a skill for Codex from PascaleBeier/hitkeep. It costs 56 tokens per session (660 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workspace-management guide for HitKeep, a development project that uses isolated Git worktrees—separate working directories for concurrent changes. It describes how to inspect workspace state and use HitKeep’s developer tools for services, runs, logs, and screenshots.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect the active workspace, start or stop local development services, monitor or cancel runs, collect screenshots, and prepare a handoff without exposing secrets.
Why use it?
It reduces mistakes when several changes or checks run at the same time, such as using the wrong worktree, port, service generation, or test run.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions AGENTS.md.

This is PascaleBeier/hitkeep's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on hitkeep 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 hitkeep 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

hitkeep-workspace 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.

HitKeep Workspace

Treat AGENTS.md as policy and hk as the live workspace authority. Git worktree creation and deletion remain external responsibilities. Never infer workspace identity from the directory name or branch.

Inspect First

Use these local developer MCP operations whenever they are callable:

  • hk_context for the current worktree, workspace list, ports, URLs, catalog, handoff, and compact runtime/cache health.
  • hk_run_status for asynchronous work and bounded cursor-addressed run or gate logs.
  • hk_dev_start, hk_dev_status, and hk_dev_stop for this worktree's container-only development generation; stopping requires its exact observed generation ID.
  • hk_run_start for setup, QA, builds, and smokes.
  • hk_screenshot for batched, workspace-managed visual-QA artifacts from the active local session.
  • hk_run_cancel for one exact observed active run.

Do not invoke equivalent workspace or run CLI commands unless the relevant MCP tool is not callable, the registration, startup, root-routing, or task-reload blocker has been reported, and the user has given explicit user approval. After approval, discover the equivalent command through ./hk catalog commands --output json, request --output json, and add --detach for action parity. Do not parse terminal prose.

Always use the workspace ID, Compose project, paths, ports, URLs, development event cursors, and finite-operation run IDs returned by hk. Verify an envelope's workspace ID before using a cursor or run ID. Never assume conventional ports are free or share mutable state between worktrees.

Operate

  1. Inspect status, the development session, and active finite runs before setup, browser work, e2e, or QA. Reuse equivalent active work rather than duplicating it.
  2. Query the live variant catalog, then start the container-only development session only when the task needs services.
  3. Development start streams until ready or failed and requires no session ID. Finite operations return run IDs and are polled with reasonable intervals. Do not treat client disconnect or a slow call as failure.
  4. Read bounded log tails for diagnosis. Carry next_cursor into subsequent development or run reads so repeated polling does not reload old output. Use returned artifact paths for complete local diagnostics instead of loading full logs into context.
  5. Stop development with the workspace-scoped stop operation. Cancelling a development log observer never stops services; finite run cancellation still targets one validated run ID.
  6. Before handoff, refresh status and request handoff context. Report workspace ID, active runs, usable URLs, changed-path summary, failures, and the next safe action.

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.
