project-state

project-state is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Renaissance-AI-Solutions/consistorium. It costs 24 tokens per session (1,880 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A procedure for recording the current state of a software project before giving advice or continuing work. It uses Consistorium, a project-context system, to inspect configured projects, recent changes, strategy notes, tasks and handoffs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before architecture, prioritization or release advice, and when handing a task from one coding agent to another.
Why use it?
It replaces guesses about the codebase with a current project snapshot. This helps a new or returning coding agent understand what is happening and what remains unfinished.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /Users/me/dev/myapp.

Getting it into your agent

There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

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

project-state 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 10d 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.

Project State — Establish Reality Before Advice

This skill teaches an AI how to use Consistorium to ground its answers in observed local development state rather than assumptions.

When to use

Use this skill whenever the user asks for strategic, architectural, or prioritization advice about their codebase, or when a fresh agent is continuing a task through Consistorium MCP tools.

Examples:

  • "What should I work on next?"
  • "Is this architecture still correct?"
  • "Are we ready to release?"
  • "What is happening in this repo?"
  • "Give me a project snapshot before I decide."

Workflow

Follow these steps in order. Prefer snapshots and summaries before requesting large raw diffs.

1. Discover the project

Call context_list_projects to see which projects are explicitly configured and whether each is a git repository. Do not guess a project name or path.

2. Get the strategic briefing

For questions like "what is this?", "what happened?", "what is unfinished?", or "what should we do next?", call context_project_briefing next.

That one call returns live git observation, recent commits, short excerpts from allowlisted strategy docs, open tasks, latest handoffs, blockers, recorded decisions, and recommended next actions.

Treat live.* as current repository observation. Treat continuity.* as agent-recorded claims. Each item carries source.claimType (live_observation vs agent_record). If caveats mentions a stale handoff, re-check with context_project_snapshot before acting.

3. Discover the task

Call context_task_list for the selected project. Choose the relevant stable task ID, then call context_task_get for its objective, constraints, next actions, timestamps, provenance, and refreshed repository availability.

4. Find the latest handoff

Call context_handoff_list filtered by project and task ID. Choose the latest relevant handoff by createdAt, then call context_handoff_get for its summary, findings, structured validation, decisions, blockers, next actions, relevant files/commits, and repository state.

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.

project-state is a skill published in the GitHub repository Renaissance-AI-Solutions/consistorium (11 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 1,880 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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.
