ecosystem-brief

ecosystem-brief is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from runxhq/runx. It costs 19 tokens per session (671 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A short, time-bounded briefing on important changes in a market, technology, project, or competitor set.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for recurring monitoring that explains what changed, why it matters, and what action an operator should consider.
Why use it?
It turns verified new information into an operational takeaway without treating an unverified news roundup as fact.

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

ecosystem-brief 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (ecosystem-brief.mjs), 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 — 77 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ecosystem Brief

Produce one time-bounded update on what changed, why it matters, and what an operator should do with that information. This is the focused monitoring variant of the research and content chain: a sharp decision brief, not a generic news roundup or an article padded from weak signals.

Lead with the operational implication. Then show the verified change, sources, inference, uncertainty, and recommended posture. Connect a signal to product, trust, distribution, positioning, or catalog work only when the evidence supports that connection.

  • research#research

When to use it

Use ecosystem-brief for daily or periodic monitoring of a bounded market, technology, project set, or competitive surface. Use deep-research when the question is durable and needs a fuller decision memo. Use content-pipeline when the principal outcome is reader-facing publication rather than operator awareness.

How the chain works

  1. Supply governed source packets and an explicit as_of time.
  2. A deterministic freshness gate rejects missing provenance, future-dated observations, and sources older than the declared window.
  3. research verifies citations and separates evidence from inference.
  4. ghostwrite turns the ready packet into a concise brief whose claims remain bound to admitted source digests.

The brief remains local. A Slack, email, social, or publication skill must own any outward notification and its approval, idempotency, and provider readback.

Inputs and result

  • objective identifies the monitoring question or decision.
  • source_packets provide governed evidence.
  • as_of is the explicit evaluation time; max_age_hours defines freshness.
  • audience, channel, domain, operator_context, and target_entities scope relevance without becoming evidence themselves.

The result includes the freshness report, citation-validated research packet, and evidence-bound brief. It returns needs_more_evidence when no source survives freshness and provenance checks, and not_worth_publishing when the change is real but offers no useful posture.

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.
