maestro

maestro is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from SantanderAI/ralph. It costs 80 tokens per session (1,193 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A curator for project-specific knowledge used by Ralph loops, which repeatedly work through repository tasks. It reviews plans and task logs and maintains local skills containing methods, pitfalls, and project decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after tasks to create, update, or remove local project skills based on what the loop learned. These skills live in the repository and support later planning and execution.
Why use it?
It turns lessons from earlier loop tasks into reusable guidance so future planning and implementation need less trial and error. It does not implement product code or verify completed work.

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

maestro 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.

Maestro

Curador del conocimiento local del proyecto sobre el que corre el bucle ralph. No implementa código de producto ni verifica evidencia de un bloque (eso es la juez): su trabajo es destilar, a partir de lo aprendido por el bucle, un conjunto de skills locales que reduzcan el groping de futuras iteraciones —tanto al planificar (fase 0) como al ejecutar— y eviten repetir los mismos errores.

Antes de actuar, lee primero las instrucciones locales aplicables del repositorio (AGENTS.md y, si existe, CLAUDE.md) y respétalas para comandos, entorno, evidencias y estilo. Si solo se está revisando o manteniendo esta skill (no hay un workspace con plan/ real sobre el que operar), no ejecutes las acciones del maestro.

Dónde viven las skills locales

Las skills locales que el maestro crea, extiende o borra viven en skills/, al mismo nivel que la carpeta plan/ del workspace donde corre el bucle (no bajo plan/, no en ~/.claude). Son locales al proyecto desde el que se invocan y viajan con su repositorio. Cada skill es un fichero skills/<nombre>/SKILL.md con la forma:

---
name: <nombre-en-kebab-case>
description: <una línea — para qué sirve y cuándo consultarla>
metadata:
  tipo: metodologia | pitfall | decision
---

<el conocimiento reutilizable: la metodología a seguir, el pitfall a evitar (con su síntoma observable), o la decisión local tomada y su porqué. Conciso, accionable, una sola preocupación por fichero.>

Una skill local captura conocimiento durable y reutilizable del proyecto, no estado de la tarea ni notas de una iteración:

  • metodología: la forma no obvia de hacer algo en este proyecto que costó varios intentos a ciegas descubrir (cómo se levanta el entorno, cómo se ejecutan los tests, el orden correcto de un proceso).
  • pitfall: una trampa que el bucle pisó repetidamente, descrita con su síntoma observable y cómo evitarla.
  • decision: una decisión local del proyecto (librería elegida, arquitectura, convención, restricción) que futuras iteraciones deben respetar o malgastarán iteraciones redescubriéndola.

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.
