create-control-manifest

create-control-manifest is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from striderZA/OpenCodeGameStudios. It costs 63 tokens per session (2,144 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of create-control-manifest, MIT.

A document generator that turns accepted architecture decisions into a short list of rules for programmers. An architecture decision record is a document explaining an important technical choice and its consequences.

In plain words
What is it for?
It creates a control manifest organized by software layer and updates it from accepted decision records, technical preferences, and engine guidance.
Why use it?
It makes architectural decisions easier to apply during implementation by stating what developers should and should not do.

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

create-control-manifest 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 yesterday.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

94% identical to create-control-manifest — 22 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Create Control Manifest

The Control Manifest is a flat, actionable rules sheet for programmers. It answers "what do I do?" and "what must I never do?" — organized by architectural layer, extracted from all Accepted ADRs, technical preferences, and engine reference docs. Where ADRs explain why, the manifest tells you what.

Output: docs/architecture/control-manifest.md

When to run: After /architecture-review passes and ADRs are in Accepted status. Re-run whenever new ADRs are accepted or existing ADRs are revised.


1. Load All Inputs

ADRs

  • Glob docs/architecture/adr-*.md and read every file
  • Filter to only Accepted ADRs (Status: Accepted) — skip Proposed, Deprecated, Superseded
  • Note the ADR number and title for every rule sourced

Technical Preferences

  • Read docs/framework/technical-preferences.md
  • Extract: naming conventions, performance budgets, approved libraries/addons, forbidden patterns

Engine Reference

  • Read docs/engine-reference/[engine]/VERSION.md for engine + version
  • Read docs/engine-reference/[engine]/deprecated-apis.md — these become forbidden API entries
  • Read docs/engine-reference/[engine]/current-best-practices.md if it exists

Report: "Loaded [N] Accepted ADRs, engine: [name + version]."


2. Extract Rules from Each ADR

For each Accepted ADR, extract:

Required Patterns (from "Implementation Guidelines" section)

  • Every "must", "should", "required to", "always" statement
  • Every specific pattern or approach mandated

Forbidden Approaches (from "Alternatives Considered" sections)

  • Every alternative that was explicitly rejected — why it was rejected becomes the rule ("never use X because Y")
  • Any anti-patterns explicitly called out

Performance Guardrails (from "Performance Implications" section)

  • Budget constraints: "max N ms per frame for this system"
  • Memory limits: "this system must not exceed N MB"

Engine API Constraints (from "Engine Compatibility" section)

  • Post-cutoff APIs that require verification
  • Verified behaviours that differ from default LLM assumptions
  • API fields or methods that behave differently in the pinned engine version

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.
