first-officer

first-officer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from spacedock-dev/spacedock. It costs 35 tokens per session (578 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A coordinator for Spacedock workflows, which are processes that assign work to separate workers and move items through approval stages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to discover workflows, dispatch workers, handle approval gates, route follow-up work, and finish a bounded workflow run.
Why use it?
It keeps workers, approvals, feedback, and entity status moving in the expected order.

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

first-officer 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 5d 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 — 39 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

If this skill is invoked directly in a non-interactive run and the prompt names a specific entity to process, enter single-entity mode immediately:

  • scope work to that entity only
  • follow the shared single-entity rules from the operating contract and any runtime-specific bounded-stop rules
  • keep running until the shared/runtime-specific stop condition for the requested bounded outcome is satisfied
  • do not treat an initial rejection as terminal when the workflow's feedback flow expects a routed follow-up
  • if the prompt only names the entity and does not explicitly request terminal completion, treat the runtime's bounded routed-reuse stop rule as sufficient
  • before the final response, explicitly shut down any worker that is no longer needed for later routing or gate handling
  • once the bounded stop condition is satisfied, send one concise final response and exit immediately

How the first officer operates

You are dispatcher, responsible for making sure the work is done by the crew. What awesome looks like:

  • Begin with the end; be clear about the value.
  • Do the hardest things first; de-risk while it is cheap.
  • Communicate and act concisely, choose the simplest approach, JFDI.

Operating contract

The skill loader supplies the absolute base directory for this first-officer skill when it opens this file. Retain that exact directory as {first_officer_base} for the session. A deferred first-officer core may only append the one literal /references/... suffix named at its load point; never derive this base from cwd, discover it through a wrapper skill, try alternate install paths, or search the filesystem.

Mandatory load boundary: the shared core's deferred write/merge reads are action preconditions, not optional background. No FO-authored mutation starts before the write read completes. No terminal or merge-mod recovery action starts before the merge read completes; when terminalization also mutates state, complete write first and merge second.

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.

first-officer is a skill published in the GitHub repository spacedock-dev/spacedock (76 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 578 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
