nextclaw: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/wiki/skills/governance/nextclaw-iteration-log-governance/SKILL.md

nextclaw-iteration-log-governance is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Peiiii/nextclaw. It costs 59 tokens per session (1,205 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for deciding when NextClaw work needs a durable iteration log. An iteration log records important delivery, release, root-cause, or governance changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when closing commits or releases, recording cross-module changes, documenting major fixes, tracking red-zone changes, updating governance, or recording package-release state.
Why use it?
It prevents both missing records for significant changes and unnecessary logs for small local edits. This keeps project history focused on work that needs traceability.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is Peiiii/nextclaw's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on nextclaw 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 nextclaw 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

nextclaw-iteration-log-governance 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 yesterday.

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.

NextClaw Iteration Log Governance

When To Use

Use this skill during the closing phase when a task may need docs/logs records.

Do not create an iteration directory at task start only for note-taking unless the user explicitly asks or the relevant iteration already exists.

Decision Rules

Create or update an iteration record when the work has independent delivery or traceability value:

  • a commit or release batch is being closed,
  • code/runtime changes span modules or a long-running delivery,
  • an important root-cause fix or red-zone touch needs durable evidence,
  • non-code content changed at large scale, such as governance/rule-system restructure,
  • historical iteration records are being materially corrected or expanded,
  • release or NPM package state must be recorded.

Do not automatically create an iteration record for:

  • uncommitted local edits,
  • a small isolated bugfix, test adjustment, style change or refactor with no red-zone/release significance,
  • metadata, wording, index, thought, plan, design, PRD or discussion-doc updates,
  • work that already belongs to an active related iteration and only needs a later batch-level update.

The user can explicitly request logging at any time. Otherwise, prefer one batch record over one record per task or correction.

Thought/design/plan/PRD documents normally belong under docs/thoughts, docs/plans, docs/designs, or docs/prd, not docs/logs.

Thought / Design / Plan Date Prefix

The iteration mechanism requires dated anchors and dotted role suffixes for thought, design, and plan deposits:

  • files under docs/thoughts must use YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>.thought.md,
  • files under docs/designs must use YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>.design.md,
  • files under docs/plans must use YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>.plan.md,
  • this rule applies even when the work does not need a docs/logs iteration record.

Same-Batch Rule

If the work is a micro-adjustment, verification fix, or follow-up in the same problem domain and same closing window as the most recent related iteration, update that iteration README.md.

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.
