wayfinder

wayfinder is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from SaikaAco/saika-hermes-skills. It costs 47 tokens per session (4,805 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning skill for medium-to-large work with several decisions, dependencies, or unknowns. It maps the route, records decisions, tracks open questions, and prepares work for later task breakdown.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to coordinate multi-session projects, resolve decisions with evidence, track prerequisites and prototypes, and hand a clear specification to a ticket-planning step.
Why use it?
It gives longer efforts a durable plan and recovery point instead of relying on scattered session notes or memory.

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

wayfinder 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 2mo 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.

Hermes Wayfinder

Lineage

This is an MIT-licensed adaptation of Matt Pocock's public wayfinder. It retains the destination, map, decision-ticket, frontier, fog, and one-ticket-at-a-time concepts while adding Hermes-specific authority, persistence, recovery, mode, and handoff contracts.

The complete upstream MIT notice is preserved in references/third-party-notices.md.

Overview

Wayfinder charts a durable route through an effort too large or uncertain for one session. It owns the map, fog, frontier, ticket lifecycle, persistence, handler routing, and readiness handoff. It resolves decisions and evidence—not the destination itself.

Bounded Grill -> Wayfinder
  DECISION     -> Bounded Grilling
  EVIDENCE     -> verified evidence handler
  PROTOTYPE    -> `/prototype`: runnable artifact + human reaction
  PREREQUISITE -> bounded task/checklist
Wayfinder -> To-Spec -> `/to-tickets` (separate explicit authority)

The canonical shared handler contracts live in:

  • references/evidence-handler.md
  • references/prototype-handler.md

For a small effort whose route is already clear:

Bounded Grill -> To-Spec

Adaptive invocation and operating level

When /wf is manually invoked or its automatic ambiguity gate detects one genuine route-affecting unknown, enter Wayfinder LIGHT immediately when this skill is the selected handler; the ordinary multi-signal heuristic below is not required. Investigate discoverable facts first and route one human-owned value to Bounded Grilling rather than assuming it. Do not create FULL artifacts from this standing ambiguity authority alone.

Otherwise choose LIGHT or FULL before applying the workflow.

LIGHT — model-invokable, non-persistent

Use LIGHT automatically when structure would reduce drift but a durable map would be disproportionate. Typical signals include two or more of:

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.

wayfinder is a skill published in the GitHub repository SaikaAco/saika-hermes-skills (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 4,805 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
