complexity-oriented-programming

complexity-oriented-programming is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Sensorica/nondominium. It costs 127 tokens per session (1,324 once invoked), scanned B, original, no licence file.

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 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.

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

The source is not reproduced here

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

What ships with it

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.
