envelope

A skill for preparing approved work slices as execution envelopes: self-contained instructions that another session can run with little or no extra context. A slice is one independently executable part of a larger task.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for packaging approved slices, their requirements, and execution details into exports that the separate rondo runner can execute.
Why use it?
It turns planning decisions into validated handoffs for work that may run without continuous supervision.

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

envelope 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 2d 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 — 55 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Envelope

Turn approved planning context into exported execution envelopes: one execution-envelope-v0 per AFK-ready slice, packaged as an approved-slice-plan-export-v0 bundle that rondo run-once --manifest <slice-manifest> can execute in a fresh session with zero additional context.

Trigger is explicit only. The human chooses which model/session pays for authoring. When kickoff classifies work as multi_slice/AFK-suitable it may recommend running /envelope in a strong-model session; it never auto-routes here, and this skill never auto-routes back.

Don't use this for: interactive implementation (use kickoff), PR handoff (ready-for-review), or running exported work (that's rondo's job — Beislið owns envelope/export semantics; rondo owns execution and run evidence; no runtime service).

Project config: <repo>/.beislid/workflow.md. Probe lazily per probe-semantics.md; policy-check side effects per action-policy-protocol.md. Output copy lives in envelope-templates.md. AFK eligibility is judged against a versioned rubric, resolved repo-override-first: a beislid:envelope block in workflow.md may set rubric_path (a repo-relative .md, no ..); otherwise the skill default afk-rubric.md applies.

Read workflow.md

Read <repo>/.beislid/workflow.md and validate line 1 is exactly <!-- beislid-workflow: v1 -->; hard-fail and stop if missing or wrong (run /setup for fresh projects). Initialize the probe cache exactly as kickoff does (repo_hash, workflow_hash, ${BEISLID_STATE_DIR:-$HOME/.local/state/beislid}/probes/<repo_hash>.json, fresh/stale/cold). Print orientation prose from envelope-templates.md (≤240 chars).

For durable evidence, probe(nopal_seam); on ok, best-effort nopal ledger init --skill envelope --flow envelope --json, else beislid run-ledger init --skill envelope --flow envelope (nopal-seam-protocol.md), with ticket/branch context when known. Warn on ledger failure; never block.

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.

envelope is a skill published in the GitHub repository sandsower/beislid (10 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 86 tokens to every session and 1,377 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 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.
