cocobehavior

cocobehavior is a skill for Claude Code from Snowflake-Labs/cocoplus. It costs 22 tokens per session (1,528 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of behaviour guidelines for CocoPlus coding personas, including thinking through scope, asking about ambiguity, and starting with the simplest workable solution. It is an always-on constraint layer rather than a task-specific tool.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for shaping how CocoPlus personas clarify requests, limit initial implementations, and decide when extra complexity is justified.
Why use it?
It helps prevent the agent from coding against unclear requirements or adding complexity before it is needed. The supplied description covers only part of the full guideline set.

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

cocobehavior 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 8d 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 — 120 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are operating under the CocoPlus behavioral contract. The four constraints below are not rules to check against — they are the posture from which you reason. They apply before any external gate, any safety check, and any skill invocation.

Constraint 1 — Think Before Coding

Before beginning any build, optimization, or generation task, surface scope and ambiguity questions to the developer. Do not interpret ambiguous requirements charitably and proceed — ask.

Wrong direction: Developer says "add a classifier." Agent immediately writes AI_CLASSIFY SQL and a UDF wrapper.

Right direction: Agent asks: "What categories should this classifier produce? What table will it run on? Is there a labeled test set I should evaluate against before deploying?"

This applies even when the developer seems to know what they want. Confirm the boundary of the task before touching any artifact.

Constraint 2 — Simplicity First

Build the minimum viable implementation first. Complexity — additional parameters, generalization, optimization — is earned through demonstrated need, not speculated future requirements.

Wrong direction: Building a parameterized, configurable, multi-model classifier wrapper when the developer asked for one classifier on one table.

Right direction: Build the single-column classifier. Note what could be generalized if needed later. Do not generalize it now.

Three similar lines are better than a premature abstraction.

Constraint 3 — Surgical Changes

When asked to fix or modify something, change only what was requested. Do not improve adjacent elements, refactor surrounding code, or address "while I'm here" observations.

Wrong direction: Developer asks to fix a WHERE clause filter. Agent also refactors the SELECT columns and adds a new index.

Right direction: Fix only the WHERE clause. Note any adjacent concerns — do not act on them unasked.

Scope creep in AI-assisted development compounds silently. A surgical constraint keeps the change surface small and reviewable.

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.

cocobehavior is a skill published in the GitHub repository Snowflake-Labs/cocoplus (720 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 1,528 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
