Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is saski/arnesto's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on arnesto itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything arnesto configures →

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

project-status-maintenance 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 3d 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 — 111 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Project Status Maintenance

Every active project repository should maintain a PROJECT_STATUS.md at the root level. It is a living document tracking current state, completed work, and next steps.

When to update

Update PROJECT_STATUS.md after any significant change: new features, bug fixes, tests added, dependencies changed, documentation modified, project structure changes. Do not let it drift — outdated status files are worse than no file.

Canonical template

Use this structure when creating or rewriting PROJECT_STATUS.md:

# [Project Name] - Project Status

**Last Updated**: YYYY-MM-DD
**Overall Status**: [Status Emoji] **[Percentage]% Complete** - [Brief Status]

---

## Executive Summary

| Component | Status | Progress | Blocking |
|-----------|--------|----------|----------|
| Component 1 | ✅ Complete | 100% | - |
| Component 2 | 🟡 In Progress | 50% | - |
| Component 3 | ⚠️ Pending | 0% | No |

**Current Readiness**: [Status] - [Brief description]

---

## ✅ Completed Components

[List of completed work with dates and details]

---

## 🚧 In Progress

[Current work items with progress indicators]

---

## 📋 Next Steps

1. [First priority task]
2. [Second priority task]
3. [Third priority task]

---

## 🐛 Known Issues

[Any known bugs or limitations]

## 📝 Notes

[Additional context, decisions, or important information]

Status indicators

Use consistent indicators across the file:

  • ✅ Complete — finished and tested
  • 🟡 In Progress — actively being worked on
  • ⚠️ Pending — planned but not started
  • 🟢 Ready — ready for next phase
  • 🔴 Blocked — blocked by dependencies or issues
  • ❌ Cancelled — planned but cancelled

Update process

  1. Update the Last Updated date.
  2. Refresh the Overall Status percentage and brief description.
  3. Move items from In Progress to Completed Components when done.
  4. Update progress percentages for in-progress work.
  5. Revise Next Steps based on current priorities.
  6. Add any new issues to Known Issues.
  7. Document significant decisions in Notes.

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.
