survey-open-threads

survey-open-threads is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rhi-zone/normalize. It costs 82 tokens per session (3,366 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workstream-finding tool that searches an ecosystem for unfinished or paused work, including abandoned sessions and unresolved design questions. It separates genuinely live threads from work that is obsolete or already settled.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create registry entries for ongoing open threads and produce a dated work-in-progress snapshot covering items such as dirty repositories, unpushed commits, and recent sessions.
Why use it?
It prevents open decisions and useful unfinished work from disappearing in old sessions or messy project folders. It also keeps durable open questions separate from a temporary snapshot of current activity.

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

survey-open-threads 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 5d 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.

Survey Open Threads

Find every open workstream across the rhi ecosystem, separate the live from the dead/superseded/moot, and file the live ones. This is the repeatable version of the 2026-05-24 session-mining pass that seeded docs/open-threads/.

There are two distinct outputs, never one:

  1. Registry entriesdocs/open-threads/<slug>.md, one file per surviving thread, plus a line in docs/open-threads/index.md. These are durable open questions/arcs that aren't expected to close soon.
  2. WIP snapshot — a single timestamped report of what is actively in motion right now (dirty trees, unpushed commits, recent sessions). This is a perishable photograph, not registry material. Hand it to the user; do not file it.

The liveness discriminator (the one judgment that matters)

The open-threads registry is filtered by liveness, not scope. File a thread if it is open work not expected to complete soon — a large arc, a paused or abandoned session, a parked design question — regardless of whether it touches one repo or many. A single-repo question can belong here if it's a genuine unresolved design fork; a multi-repo question does not belong here if it already landed.

For every candidate, decide one of three:

  • LIVE → file it (registry or, if cleanly single-repo and tractable, that repo's TODO.md).
  • DEAD / SUPERSEDED / MOOT → record one line in the run report saying why it's dead (so the next run doesn't re-surface it), then drop it.
  • DONE → the work landed; archive with a one-line pointer to where it landed.

A candidate is only LIVE after the freshness re-check (Step 5) confirms it. Sessions age; "the assistant offered to do X" is not evidence X is still undone.

Where sessions live

  • Corpus root: /mnt/ssd/ai/claude-sessions/projects/ — one directory per project (path-encoded, e.g. -home-me-git-rhizone-crescent).
  • Query it with normalize sessions (provided by the normalize flake; run from any repo with normalize on PATH). Never hand-parse the JSONL — use the CLI.
  • Modes matter: --mode interactive (default) is human-driven work. Exclude autonomous-bot projects (fuwafuwa, ashwren, hologram-bot loops) — they end mid-state by design and rehydrate from brain/*.json; their tails are not abandonment.

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.
