orcho-core: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/orcho-core-skills-registry/SKILL.md

orcho-core-skills-registry is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from symphos-ai/orcho-core. It costs 92 tokens per session (558 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project instructions for Orcho’s skill registry, the part that discovers, trusts, loads, and records reusable coding instructions. It covers compatibility with several skill folders and how skills are shown to agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Changing skill discovery order, trust policy, roster display, skill loading, prompt injection, usage events, traceability commands, and the catalogue exposed through MCP, a protocol for connecting tools to AI assistants.
Why use it?
It keeps skill discovery, trust checks, injection into subtask prompts, and usage tracking consistent across supported sources.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions AGENTS.md.

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-skills-registry 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.

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.
