rome: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/loop-reconcile/SKILL.md

loop-reconcile is a skill for Claude Code from rome-os/rome. It costs 37 tokens per session (1,364 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A background workflow that compares a written target state with the current code and records the next work as GitHub issues or a report.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to reconcile a document in `docs/northstars/` with the codebase, optionally within a GitHub milestone, and create labeled issues for the next work.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually track which parts of a planned system are still missing. Unclear cases are stopped and documented instead of being guessed at.

    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.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

loop-reconcile 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Loop: reconcile

Goal end-state: every deliverable chunk the run can scope exists as issues, awaiting ready-for-agent, and one report explains whatever it could not scope.

This is the autonomous half of the reconciliation loop. When launched from a session, run it in a background agent. It runs headless: never ask the user a question mid-run. Every ambiguity resolves to a report, never to something plausible. Every report reads standalone on GitHub and never depends on chat context.

All work state lives in the GitHub repository itself: issues, labels, and milestones. No project board. Every issue this skill files carries two labels: loop-reconcile, the mark that the loop owns it, and a scope label loop:<doc-stem> naming its source doc — loop:people for docs/northstars/people.md. A report is an issue too, and it carries loop-complete or loop-needs-discussion on top of those two. If a label is missing from the repository, create it.

Args: an ideal-state doc under docs/northstars/, and optionally a repository milestone.

  • Given a milestone, reconcile against the milestone description. First check that the doc still backs every milestone statement: if one contradicts the doc, or the doc no longer asks for it at all, file a loop-needs-discussion report and stop. The doc wins on intent, and a milestone that fell behind it needs a session, not work.
  • Given no milestone, reconcile against the doc's Statements section and file issues attached to no milestone.
  • Only the Statements list has authority. The rest of the doc is illustration.

Inputs and precedence

Source Role Authority
Ideal-state doc What should be Wins on intent
Codebase What is Wins on facts
Issue tracker What is in flight None — it gates and remembers
  • The tracker never influences what to scope. It only gates whether to scope.
  • Do not read PR or git history to guess intent. If a gap looks like a deliberate move away from the doc, scope it anyway. The human withholds ready-for-agent and fixes the doc.
  • Concurrency belongs to the driver. Assume this run is alone.

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.

loop-reconcile is a skill published in the GitHub repository rome-os/rome (871 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 1,364 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 2026-08-30.
