kernel-ops

kernel-ops is a skill for Claude Code from Pinperepette/context-kernel. It costs 207 tokens per session (862 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Natural-language operations for context-kernel, a system that selects and compresses conversation context for an agent.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking saved tokens and system health, viewing pending comparisons, reviewing configuration, and retrieving context-kernel reports.
Why use it?
It lets you inspect the system and run checks without remembering special command syntax, while keeping changes explicit instead of automatic.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

kernel-ops 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 45 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

kernel-ops — la superficie operativa del context-kernel a parole

Questa skill è il gemello a linguaggio naturale dei comandi /ck-*: stessa funzione, stessi script, ma raggiungibile dicendo cosa vuoi invece di ricordare la sintassi. Gli script vivono sotto ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/ (con la via plugin) oppure, per l'install manuale, nella cartella hooks/ del plugin — risolvi il path una volta e riusalo.

Principio (non tradire la filosofia)

Il plugin non fa mai tuning silenzioso. Questa skill può leggere e diagnosticare liberamente, ma tutto ciò che scrive stato va fatto solo su richiesta esplicita dell'utente, annunciando cosa sta per cambiare: apply-rates (relax-only), write-priors (add-only), charter clear, savings reset-canary. Nel dubbio: mostra, non attuare.

Instradamento dell'intento

Capisci cosa chiede l'utente e lancia il comando corrispondente (poi sintetizza l'output, non incollare referti lunghi):

L'utente vuole… Comando
stato/colpo d'occhio (risparmio, canary, coda A/B, carta) savings.py + ab_verify.py --status + charter.py get
salute dell'installazione (health-check) doctor.py
report risparmio token savings.py (--html [path] per la pagina)
acquietare il canary dopo indagine (esplicito) savings.py --reset-canary
giudicare i campioni A/B ab_verify.py (--status, --dry-run, --limit N)
recuperare un output parcheggiato recall.py --search REGEX | recall.py <chiave> --grep/--lines
vedere/rinfrescare/azzerare la carta del task charter.py get | refresh | clear
smoke test della compressione smoke.py generate poi smoke.py check
rilevanza rivelata (T5), solo report revealed.py --aggregate
attuare tassi/prior appresi (esplicito) revealed.py --aggregate --apply-rates | --write-priors

Tutti eseguibili con python3 <hooks>/<script>. Se l'utente preferisce la forma digitata, gli stessi passi sono i comandi /ck-status, /ck-doctor, /ck-savings, /ck-verify, /ck-recall, /ck-charter, /ck-smoke, /ck-tune.

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.

kernel-ops is a skill published in the GitHub repository Pinperepette/context-kernel (24 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 207 tokens to every session and 862 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
