reference-negated-defensive

reference-negated-defensive is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from pezhik/skilltotal. It costs 0 tokens per session (46 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of rules for safely shortening an agent's working memory while preserving important instructions and facts. The detailed authority rules are kept in a separate memory guide.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when an agent needs to compact its working context. The input only identifies memory compaction guidance, not a broader set of jobs.
Why use it?
It helps an agent reduce clutter without losing information that is still needed for the task. The available description does not specify further operations.

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

reference-negated-defensive 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 5d 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

Memory Compaction Skill

Guidance for compacting an agent's working memory safely. See references/memory-guide.md for the authority rules.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
