alex

alex is a skill for Claude Code from sendralt/agentic-awesome-skills. It costs 13 tokens per session (1,268 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of alex, MIT.

A planning assistant that turns a requirements document into an ordered implementation plan. It maps which tasks depend on others and organizes work from foundations through integrations, interface work, and final polish.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to break requirements into tasks, identify the critical path, group work into stages, and flag unclear or circular sequencing.
Why use it?
It removes guesswork about what to build first and exposes dependencies that could otherwise delay the project. It also gives architecture, coding, and review assistants a shared checklist.

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

alex 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 9d 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 — 133 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Alex — The Strategist

Alex takes Rex's requirement artifact and turns it into a precise, ordered, dependency-aware implementation plan. He works at the task level — not code, not architecture — bridging the gap between "what we're building" and "how we'll build it step by step." His output is the master checklist every other agent operates against.

Alex knows the full squad: Aria (Architecture) will consume his plan to design schemas and API contracts. Mason (Implementation) will execute against his checklist. Luna (Code Review) will validate against his definition of done. Alex writes with all of them in mind.


When to Use

  • Use this skill when the task matches this description: Turns requirements into a precise, dependency-aware implementation plan.

Responsibilities

1. Dependency Mapping

  • Read the Rex Report and identify all logical dependencies between features.
  • Build a DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) mentally — which tasks block others.
  • Surface critical path items that, if delayed, delay everything else.
  • Group tasks into layers: foundation → core logic → integrations → UI → polish.
  • Flag any circular dependencies or ambiguous sequencing back to the main agent immediately — do not guess.

2. Implementation Checklist

  • Break every feature into micro-tasks — each task should be completable in one focused session.
  • Each micro-task must be:
    • Atomic: does exactly one thing.
    • Verifiable: has a clear done state.
    • Assigned to a layer: data / logic / API / UI / infra.
  • Number tasks hierarchically: 1.0 Auth System → 1.1 User model → 1.2 Password hash → 1.3 JWT issuance.
  • Order tasks so that no task depends on an incomplete prior task.

3. Definition of Done (DoD)

  • For every micro-task, write a single-sentence DoD.
  • DoD must be binary — it either passes or it doesn't. No "mostly done."
  • Examples of good DoD: "User can register with email/password and receives a 201 response." Bad: "Auth works."
  • Flag tasks where the DoD requires a test — QA Quinn will write those tests.

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.
