cctop: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/cctop-restart/SKILL.md

cctop-restart is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from st0012/cctop. It costs 58 tokens per session (357 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A development helper for restarting the cctop menubar app and its installed hook during local testing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you need to restart, relaunch, or prepare cctop locally. It also checks that the current debug app and hook are running.
Why use it?
It avoids running the app with an outdated hook or launching the wrong build, which can make testing misleading.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is st0012/cctop's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on cctop 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 cctop configures →

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

cctop-restart 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 10d 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.

What it actually says

cctop Restart

When the user asks to restart or relaunch cctop during development, treat it as an end-to-end client refresh:

  1. Run ./script/build_and_run.sh --verify from the repo root when available.
  2. If the script is unavailable, run make restart.
  3. Verify ~/.cctop/bin/cctop-hook reports or contains the current Config.hookVersion.
  4. Verify the running CctopMenubar process path points at the current worktree/debug app.

Do not use make run or open ...CctopMenubar.app alone for restart requests; those can leave shims using a stale installed hook.

After cctop investigation, validation, delegated PR work, or any workflow that launches or kills the dev app, leave the verified debug app running for the developer unless the user explicitly asks to stop it or a concrete blocker prevents a safe relaunch. Report the running app path and installed hook version. Do not stop the app at the end merely to keep the process table tidy; the developer uses the app while reviewing the work.

For delegated task closeout after merge, make restart/app state part of the handoff: confirm the developer-facing app is running when relevant, then archive or park the driver thread. Only remove the driver worktree after confirming no app, build, test, or agent process is still running from it.

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.
