complexity-oriented-programming

A set of software design principles based on Complexity Driven Development and Complexity Oriented Programming. It treats software as an evolving system of relationships, especially useful for distributed or peer-to-peer systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing requirements, designing distributed or agent-based systems, or implementing code whose behavior evolves.
Why use it?
It provides a way to plan and build software when behavior, participants, and requirements can change over time.

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 B, and why

complexity-oriented-programming scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 yesterday.

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.

Strips warnings and disclaimersmediumAnti-refusal

Omitting safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

If asked to build a heavily centralized, monolithic, CRUD-only system, build it — but first briefly surface the COP alternative and the trade-off (e.g. "we could separate the data substrate from governance logic so rules

What ships with it

1 file 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.

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.

complexity-oriented-programming is a skill published in the GitHub repository Sensorica/nondominium (17 stars, last pushed 2d ago), with no licence file. It adds 127 tokens to every session and 1,324 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (strips warnings and disclaimers). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
