cocolean

cocolean is a skill for Claude Code from Snowflake-Labs/cocoplus. It costs 41 tokens per session (1,253 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of cocolean, MIT.

A decision process for choosing how much project structure and checking to use before building. It offers lite, full, and ultra modes and records the selected mode in the project files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before development to choose a working mode and run through the key decisions that should be settled before building.
Why use it?
It helps prevent adding more process than a project needs, while making the chosen level of discipline explicit. It also stops when the required project setup is missing.

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

cocolean 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 12d 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 — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Objective

You are executing CocoLean — the minimum viable Cortex surface discipline. Your task depends on how this skill was invoked:

  • $lean / $lean full — activate full mode (all three CocoLean modes), run the pre-build decision ladder
  • $lean lite — switch to lite mode (ladder only), run the pre-build decision ladder
  • $lean ultra — switch to ultra mode (full + enforcement), run the pre-build decision ladder
  • $lean with no prior context — treat as $lean full

Before proceeding, verify that .cocoplus/ exists. If not, output: "CocoPlus is not initialized. Run $pod init first." Then stop.

Step 1 — Set Intensity Level

Parse the invocation:

Command Mode Write to .cocoplus/modes/lean.mode
$lean lite lite lite
$lean full full full
$lean ultra ultra ultra
$lean full (default) full

Write the mode string to .cocoplus/modes/lean.mode. Confirm: "CocoLean mode set to [mode]."

If .cocoplus/modes/lean.mode already exists, read its current value and note the change: "CocoLean mode changed from [previous] to [new]."

Step 2 — Run the Pre-Build Decision Ladder

Surface the six-rung Cortex-adapted decision ladder. Present it as a checklist the developer must work through before writing any new Cortex AI function, pipeline stage, or subagent:

CocoLean Decision Ladder — work top to bottom, stop at the first YES:

[ ] Rung 1: Can a deterministic rule, SQL expression, lookup table, or threshold accomplish this without AI inference?
[ ] Rung 2: Does a Snowflake native built-in handle it? (FLATTEN, MATCH_RECOGNIZE, window functions, conditional expressions, SEARCH, OBJECT_CONSTRUCT…)
[ ] Rung 3: Does an existing UDF, stored procedure, or Cortex function in this project already solve this?
[ ] Rung 4: Would a single AI_COMPLETE call with a well-scoped prompt be sufficient?
[ ] Rung 5: Can the minimum working function be written in under ten lines? (Write the minimum version first — complexity is earned, not assumed.)
[ ] Rung 6: A full Cortex function or multi-stage pipeline is justified. Proceed to build.

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.
