orcho-core: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/orcho-core-quality-gates/SKILL.md

orcho-core-quality-gates is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from symphos-ai/orcho-core. It costs 67 tokens per session (414 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project instructions for Orcho Core’s parsers and quality gates. Parsers turn planning and review data into structured results, while quality gates decide whether work can proceed, needs repair, or is accepted.

In plain words
What is it for?
Changing parser behavior, release verdicts, quality-gate rules, and operator halt or resume flows, with targeted tests for affected behavior.
Why use it?
They keep review, repair, release approval, and halt or resume decisions consistent, and prevent lower-priority findings from hiding release blockers.

This is symphos-ai/orcho-core's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on orcho-core 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 orcho-core 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

orcho-core-quality-gates 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 12d 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.

Owns

  • parser semantics and parser errors

  • release approval/rejection semantics

Does Not Own

  • public payload shape -> orcho-core-sdk-wire
  • prompt contract text -> orcho-prompt-engine
  • cross-project orchestration -> orcho-core-cross-project

Invariants

  • Parser output shape changes require tests.
  • Review, repair, and final acceptance are distinct contracts.
  • A rejected release verdict is not the same as a parser/schema hard halt.
  • No low-priority finding should mask a release-tier blocker.

Verification

  • targeted parser/gate tests under orcho-core/tests/unit/pipeline
  • halt/resume tests when operator flow changes
  • SDK/MCP tests when output shape becomes public

Neighbor Skills

  • orcho-core-sdk-wire for public parser/gate output shape
  • orcho-prompt-engine for gate prompt contract text
  • orcho-core-cross-project for cross final acceptance orchestration
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.
