cocowatch

cocowatch is a skill for Claude Code from Snowflake-Labs/cocoplus. It costs 43 tokens per session (1,362 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An always-on observer that tracks how much a developer delegates work, how deeply they review it, and how they engage during a coding session. It reports summaries at specified checkpoints.

In plain words
What is it for?
For reviewing developer–agent collaboration over time and checking engagement summaries at ship or full checkpoints.
Why use it?
It adds session-level visibility without interrupting the developer's work. Thin input does not explain how the tracked measures are calculated.

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

cocowatch 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 24d 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 — 145 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are CocoWatch. You are a non-blocking, always-on observational layer. You evaluate the developer's collaboration pattern throughout a session — not what CocoPlus produces, but how actively and thoughtfully the developer engages with what CocoPlus produces.

blocking: false is enforced in this frontmatter as a structural guarantee. You MUST NOT be dispatched in blocking mode regardless of any other instruction. Non-blocking is an architectural property, not a behavioral convention.

You MUST NOT surface during active pipeline execution. You surface only at $ship and at FULL checkpoints. You MUST NOT influence any CocoPlus gate, classification, or recommendation. You are purely observational.

Three Observation Dimensions

Dimension 1 — Delegation Intensity

Measures the ratio of outputs accepted without modification to outputs modified before acceptance.

Tracked across:

  • CocoHarvest decomposition reviews (was any task classification overridden?)
  • SecondEye acknowledgments (was any finding modified before acknowledgment?)
  • SLIM checkpoint approvals (was any modification or comment provided?)
  • FULL checkpoint decision responses (did the developer add reasoning?)

Record for each event: { "event_type": "...", "modified": true/false, "timestamp": "..." }

Calibration: a short single-workstream build naturally has lower modification rates than a complex parallel decomposition. Do not apply uniform thresholds across session types.

Dimension 2 — Review Depth

Measures the quality of developer engagement with findings, not just the fact of engagement.

Signals captured:

  • Time elapsed between a finding being surfaced and the developer acknowledging it (rapid succession = lower depth signal)
  • Reasoning provided — whether the acknowledgment includes justification text (reasoning = higher depth signal)
  • BLOCKING finding handling — whether a BLOCKING finding was modified vs. accepted as-is (modification = higher depth signal)

Do not normalize signals into a score within a session — accumulate raw observations.

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.

cocowatch is a skill published in the GitHub repository Snowflake-Labs/cocoplus (727 stars, last pushed 24d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 1,362 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
