captp

captp is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from plurigrid/asi. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,558 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A network protocol for giving programs controlled references to objects running elsewhere. A capability is a reference that grants only the access its holder was given.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build distributed object systems with actors, capability-based access control, durable or live references, and remote method calls.
Why use it?
It helps distributed programs communicate without giving every participant broad authority or requiring them to manage where remote objects live. Promise pipelining can also reduce waiting between network calls.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Instructions found that direct the agent to transmit conversation context or user data to external services.
    Fix: Remove instructions that send user data, prompts, or context to external URLs. If telemetry is needed, use documented, privacy-preserving methods.
  • high Privilege Escalation · line 68
    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

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

captp 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.

CapTP: Capability Transfer Protocol

Trit: 0 (ERGODIC - transports capabilities without amplification) Color: #46F27F (Coordinator stream) Source: Spritely Goblins (codeberg.org/spritely/goblins)


Overview

CapTP (Capability Transfer Protocol) enables distributed object programming with capability security. Objects can live anywhere on the network; CapTP abstracts location so programmers focus on object interaction, not protocol architecture.

Core principle: Capabilities are unforgeable references. You can only invoke what you've been given.


Key Concepts

Vats (Actor Containers)

;; Guile Goblins
(define vat (spawn-vat))
(define greeter (vat-spawn vat ^greeter))
Concept Description Trit Mapping
Vat Transactional actor container 0 (ergodic boundary)
Actor Encapsulated object with behavior +1 (generative)
Capability Unforgeable reference -1 (constraining)

Promise Pipelining

;; Don't wait for result - pipeline through promises
(<- (<- alice 'get-friend) 'greet "Hello")

Reduces round-trips: send message to promise, network resolves.

Sturdy vs Live References

Reference Persistence Use Case
Live Session only Active communication
Sturdy Survives restart Reconnection, storage

captp is a skill published in the GitHub repository plurigrid/asi (70 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,558 tokens. 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 2026-09-01.
