operating-coding-change

operating-coding-change is a skill for Codex from qingye-lab/rootloom. It costs 27 tokens per session (809 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for making changes to software projects, from small edits and bug fixes to larger, governed changes. It routes the work, protects unrelated changes, repairs the responsible rule or boundary, and reports the checks that ran.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to implement features, fix defects, refactor code, add tests, inspect project instructions, and verify the resulting changes.
Why use it?
It helps keep implementation focused, preserve existing work, and distinguish a real fix from a temporary workaround.

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

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

operating-coding-change 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/artifact_context.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Coding change

Implement the user's requested outcome within the active repository guidance and authorized scope. A question or review alone does not authorize a repair. Preserve unrelated changes; a dirty worktree is a preservation constraint, not a reason to stop or escalate.

Diagnose and route

Read the smallest evidence needed to identify the owner and verification boundary. For a defect, connect the observed trigger, violated invariant, root cause, and proposed repair. Initial uncertainty calls for bounded diagnosis; escalate only when materially different owners, compatibility choices, or high-risk assumptions remain. Label an unproved workaround as mitigation and explain its limitation and removal condition.

Choose the route internally; do not ask the user to choose a workflow:

  • direct: mechanical, local, reversible work. Inspect, edit, and check the target; no Reference or separate challenge pass is required.
  • scoped: bounded defects, features, tests, refactors, and documentation. Use the checks below without loading additional References by default.
  • governed: changes affecting security, production, infrastructure, destructive effects, major dependencies, established public APIs, irreplaceable persisted contracts, or a materially uncertain blast radius. Read governed-change.md and verification-contract.md before dependent edits. Regenerable internal artifacts, file count, and keyword mentions alone do not trigger this route; identify real consumers and changed behavior.
  • evidence: only on explicit request or an applicable repository requirement. Read evidence-mode.md, evidence-contract.md, and verification-contract.md. Evidence records proof; it does not grant authority or replace diagnosis.

For deployment, release, infrastructure, production data, or other external execution, read external-actions.md. Verify exact authorization; preserve explicit approval gates and do not infer permission for destructive actions, purchases, credential/permission changes, incompatible contracts, or scope expansion. If a required procedure or authorization is unavailable, stop only the dependent action and continue independent authorized work. Platform and hard-deny controls remain authoritative.

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.

operating-coding-change is a skill published in the GitHub repository qingye-lab/rootloom (10 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 809 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-31.
