press

press is a skill for Claude Code from paulnsorensen/easy-cheese. It costs 63 tokens per session (2,381 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tests-only review step that checks changes after Cook, a separate implementation step, against an approved contract. TDD means test-driven development, but this tool is specifically an adversarial testing gate.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after Cook to attack the implementation with tests, route valid failures to a corrective Cook run, or send green changes to the next review stage.
Why use it?
It finds contract violations while keeping production-code edits with Cook and preserving evidence for bounded repairs.

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

press 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 today.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 213 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/press

Press is the tests-only adversarial gate after /cook. Its skill contract is:

press(spec_ref)
  -> Continue("press-corrective-cook")
   | Dispatch("/age")
   | Stop(reason)

Press never owns first coverage. Press never edits production code. Cook owns the implementation. Press attacks the approved contract and preserves failure evidence for a bounded Cook repair.

Inputs

Press accepts this invocation:

/press <slug> [--auto] [--hard] [--open-pr]

<slug> names the pipeline slug. Press requires it. Press reads .cheese/cook/<slug>.md for the Cook handoff.

--auto selects the autonomous chain. See ## Auto mode.

--hard requests the optional final gate. Press forwards this flag to Age.

--open-pr is publication permission. Only the user supplies it. Press forwards this flag to Age. Press never adds it.

Press preserves the Cook durable_flags: value without change. Press ignores the Cook taste_test: value.

Packaged commands

Run this command for boundary routing:

python3 skills/press/scripts/press.pyz press-route \
  .cheese/press/<slug>.attempt-N.route.json

The request contains only outcome and repair_cycles:

{
  "outcome": "green",
  "repair_cycles": 0
}

Set outcome to green, in_contract_red, invalid_evidence, or production_changed.

Set repair_cycles to the number of completed corrective Cook continuations. Use 0 for the first attempt.

Use the command JSON action as the authority. Stop if the bundle does not exist.

Use separate append-only artifact names for each Press attempt. Use the same <slug> for all three attempts. Never reuse an attempt number.

Use these paths:

  • Attack candidate: .cheese/press/candidates/<slug>.attempt-N.json
  • Route request: .cheese/press/<slug>.attempt-N.route.json
  • Telemetry request: .cheese/press/<slug>.attempt-N.telemetry-request.json
  • Telemetry record: .cheese/press/<slug>.attempt-N.telemetry.json

A third in-contract RED returns Stop("third-red"). Do not create attempt-4 paths. Do not overwrite an earlier path.

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.

press is a skill published in the GitHub repository paulnsorensen/easy-cheese (18 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 2,381 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
