incubate

incubate is a skill for Claude Code from Soul-Brews-Studio/arra-oracle-skills-cli. It costs 103 tokens per session (22,518 once invoked), scanned D, original, MIT.

A development setup for cloning or creating code repositories so they are ready for active work. A repository is a project folder managed with version control, and a worktree is a separate working copy for a branch.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps clone repositories, create project repositories, make branches, set up separate worktrees, check active projects, and prepare changes for pull requests.
Why use it?
It makes it easier to prepare projects, isolate parallel changes, and keep track of where each development copy came from.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: argument-hint in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions subagents; positional $N argument.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is - **Origin**: ./origin/.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 D, and why

incubate scanned grade D with 3 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 11d 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.

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

/incubate — Active Development Workflow

Clone or create repos for active development → set up branches, make changes, push PRs.

"/learn reads the book. /incubate writes the next chapter."

Usage

/incubate [url]                          # Clone via ghq, symlink, ready for dev
/incubate [slug]                         # Use slug from ψ/memory/slugs.yaml
/incubate [repo-name]                    # Finds in ghq or creates with default org
/incubate [url] --flash "fix desc"       # Issue → branch → fix → PR → offload
/incubate [url] --contribute             # Fork if needed → branch per feature → PRs
/incubate --status                       # List all active ψ/incubate/ with git status
/incubate --status --include-offloaded   # Also list offloaded entries from .origins (#280)
/incubate --offload [slug]               # Remove symlink, keep ghq clone
/incubate --offload [slug] --purge       # Also drop entry from .origins manifest (#280)
/incubate --init                         # Restore all origins after git clone

# Parallel bodies — one git worktree per agent, same mother clone (#487)
/incubate [slug] --wt <name>             # Claim a body on branch incubate/<name>
/incubate [slug] --wt <name> --task "…"  # Same, recording who + why (worktree lock reason)
/incubate [slug] --wt <name> --from <ref># Branch from <ref> (default: origin/HEAD)
/incubate --offload [slug] --wt <name>   # Retire ONE body (branch survives)
/incubate --offload [slug] --all-wt      # Retire every body on this machine

Workflow Modes

Flag Scope Duration Cleanup
(default) Long-term dev Weeks/months Manual offload
--wt <slug> One agent's parallel body Hours/days --offload --wt <slug> (branch survives)
--flash Single fix Minutes Issue → PR → auto-offload + purge
--contribute Multi-feature Days/weeks Offload when all PRs done
--status Query Read-only listing
--offload Cleanup Remove symlink (keep ghq)

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
