Polaris: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/project-tracking/SKILL.md

project-tracking is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sponge-b0b/Polaris. It costs 33 tokens per session (5,661 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An internal helper that updates the public GitHub Project view after another workflow has already changed the authoritative task record. A projection is a displayed copy of information held elsewhere.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to reconcile GitHub issues and project fields after an authorized lifecycle transition or a separate recovery process has established the correct state.
Why use it?
It keeps the public project view aligned with the durable source of truth without deciding workflow state itself.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for Claude Code and Codex: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter, but also agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions Codex; $skill-name invocation.

This is sponge-b0b/Polaris's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on Polaris itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything Polaris configures →

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

project-tracking 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 2d 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 — 588 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Project Tracking

Reconcile the public Polaris GitHub Project after the owning lifecycle has already established authoritative durable state.

$project-tracking is an internal projection helper. It does not own lifecycle state, delivery focus, scheduling, or correctness.

Invocation Boundary

$project-tracking supports two internal modes.

Formal Artifact Projection

Invoke only:

  • from an already-authorized Polaris lifecycle owner after its authoritative tracker/repository transition succeeds; or
  • from an explicit reconciliation flow that independently recovered the authoritative durable state.

The caller supplies one or more desired base formal artifact projections. For each artifact provide:

  • GitHub issue URL;
  • Artifact Type;
  • Workflow State;
  • Next Skill — ordinary lifecycle next action before project-delivery overlay;
  • Work Status — ordinary lifecycle status before project-delivery overlay;
  • Area only when the caller intentionally owns an Area presentation change;
  • Root Blocker as RB-n or None;
  • Completed On as YYYY-MM-DD only when Workflow State = Complete, otherwise None;
  • Priority only when the caller intentionally owns a priority change;
  • after project-delivery bootstrap, Project Delivery State for every active formal artifact whose Workflow State is neither Complete nor Superseded: in-focus | eligible | blocked | independent.

Artifact Type = Idea and Workflow State = Intake are outside this helper.

Delivery Overlay Sync

Only $project-delivery-management may invoke this mode.

The caller supplies one or more exact open Wayfinder-managed formal artifact URLs plus their current authoritative Project Delivery State: in-focus | eligible | blocked.

This mode does not determine or change lifecycle state. It reads the existing Project row, requires Artifact Type to be one of Wayfinder Map, Wayfinder Decision, Spec, Implementation Ticket, Spec Review, or Review Remediation Ticket, preserves the current projected Workflow State, and reconstructs only the base Work Status and base Next Skill required to re-apply the delivery overlay.

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.

project-tracking is a skill published in the GitHub repository sponge-b0b/Polaris (4 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 5,661 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 2026-08-31.
