orient

orient is a skill for Claude Code from restarter/lets-workflow. It costs 42 tokens per session (1,584 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An internal command skill that renders a shared snapshot of the current task, work in progress, and next steps. It uses Git and a task tracker such as Beads, another tracker, or no tracker.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for status views, starting work, or quickly reviewing the backlog. It supplies the orientation block that those commands then use for their own follow-up.
Why use it?
It gives related commands one consistent view of project status, so their summaries do not disagree. It only gathers and displays information; it does not choose or change tasks.

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

orient 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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 124 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Orient Snapshot

Render the shared "where am I / what's in flight / what's next" snapshot. Consumed by /lets:status (snapshot, then stop), /lets:start (snapshot + pick/claim), and /lets:backlog --fast (snapshot + dialog). Single source of truth so the three never drift.

This skill ONLY gathers + renders the snapshot block. It does NOT select, claim, mutate, or advise. The caller appends its own follow-through.

Built on git + detect-task + neutral tracker verbs, so it degrades cleanly on any tracker (beads | none | a custom adapter).

IMPORTANT: If the spec below invokes any deferred tool (e.g. AskUserQuestion), you MUST load and call it as specified. Never skip the call, never substitute a default answer of your own - the tool invocation is part of the contract.

Step 1: Active task

Invoke Skill(skill: "lets:detect-task") -> an id or None. (A skill may invoke another skill; this is a normal nested Skill-tool call in the same orchestrator context.)

Inline fallback (only if the nested Skill call is unavailable - rare: skill-invokes-skill is sound, this is belt-and-suspenders): do NOT re-derive the id with a partial copy of detect-task's precedence ladder (it would rot when the branch format changes and would drop detect-task's merge-branch liveness check + its search-and-confirm fallback). Instead skip the active-task line and note it degraded - the In flight section (Step 3) still surfaces any in_progress task. detect-task stays the single source of branch-format truth.

When Step 1 yields an id, get its title with the tracker's show:

Tracker protocol: Skill(skill: "lets:protocol-tracker") before this and any later lets-tracker block here, unless its text is in your current context.

show task=<id>   # returns {id, title, status, url}

Step 2: Git state

git branch --show-current
git status --short   # empty = clean; else count the lines

Detect context (one compact line, only if applicable): worktree (git-dir contains worktrees/), trunk-mode (HEAD == {LETS_MERGE_BRANCH} AND an active task), or main-mode (HEAD == {LETS_MERGE_BRANCH}, no task).

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.
