recipe-outcome-watch

recipe-outcome-watch is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from shinpr/codex-workflows. It costs 33 tokens per session (603 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A periodic independent check that compares ongoing development with its governing goal or design document. It monitors a task at an interval chosen by the user.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it alongside development work to review whether activity still matches the approved outcome. It can reuse an activity log and asks for clarification when several governing documents could apply.
Why use it?
It can reveal scope drift or unnecessary work while a task is in progress. It uses the authoritative document or an explicitly confirmed purpose rather than inventing a goal.

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

recipe-outcome-watch 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/watch.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 33 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Outcome Watch

Run a finite, independent direction review alongside the current task. Use governing documents or an explicit purpose, with any development task.

Request: $ARGUMENTS

Resolve the basis

  1. Use governing document paths or an explicit purpose supplied in the arguments. Pass documents as paths, preserving their authority.
  2. Otherwise inspect documents under the working directory and their relationship to the current task. Select a document whose content establishes that relationship, with its relevant references. If multiple plausible targets remain, ask the user to select one.
  3. When no governing document exists, use the user's explicit task purpose. If you must infer or synthesize the purpose or completion condition from the session, present that wording for confirmation before starting and pass the confirmed wording unchanged.

Reuse existing task evidence. Supply an exact activity-log path when available and relevant. Resolve a changed monitoring scope from explicit user instructions and restart with that basis.

Start and deliver

Resolve scripts/watch.py relative to this skill and use an available Python 3 interpreter. The script owns timing, codex exec reviews, and cleanup. Run it through the host's asynchronous execution facility, forwarding its output automatically into the active session while continuing the task. Establish that delivery from the available tool contracts before starting. If the host offers only manual polling or next-turn message queues, explain that live delivery is unavailable and end this recipe.

Start in the target directory with --source PATH for each governing document, or --purpose TEXT for the explicit or confirmed purpose. Optional --activity PATH supplies existing evidence; --cwd PATH selects the target directory. Quote arguments for the available shell. Use --interval SECONDS, --duration SECONDS, and --language LANGUAGE for the user's choices.

Defaults are a 60-minute interval and a 4-hour duration. The first review runs immediately, with subsequent starts spaced by the interval. Each review is bounded by 10 minutes and the remaining duration. Use the host's normal permission mechanism to launch the authenticated CLI; reviews run read-only.

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.
