ask

A context-aware question-and-answer workflow for a software project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for quick questions about code, Git history, project rules, documentation, or available skills without changing code.
Why use it?
It gathers project details such as the current branch, detected features, rules, documentation, and development context before answering.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

ask 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.

Procedure

Phase 0: Session Context Capture

Run these 4 commands in parallel to build session context:

# Action Tool
1 Current branch Bash("git branch --show-current")
2 Feature detection Bash("node scripts/resolve-feature.js") — the wrapper, not the CLI: it owns the failure payload, so a resolver that runs and fails — nonzero exit, signal, truncated write, off-contract payload — still yields the full shape with scan_error: true rather than {} or a truncated document. A missing node yields no JSON at all; treat that like any other unusable payload
2b scan_error gate scan_error !== false ⇒ the source sets are unknown, not empty — report and take the ⚠️ Need Human exit rather than answering from an empty set. Gate on !== false, not === true: a {} payload from a shell fallback has no such field, so a non-null key is not evidence the sets are complete
3 Changed files Bash("git status --porcelain")
4 Recent commits Bash("git log --oneline -5")

Untracked file fallback: If feature resolver returns key: null, derive feature from changed/untracked paths:

  1. Parse git status --porcelain output for docs/features/<key>/ or skills/<key>/ patterns
  2. Extract <key> as candidate feature
  3. Use this for docs intent feature-first lookup when resolver fails

Phase 1: Intent Classification + Routing

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

ask is a skill published in the GitHub repository sd0xdev/sd0x-harness (188 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 79 tokens to every session and 2,234 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 2026-08-30.
