chart-course

chart-course is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from TalonT-Org/AutoSkillit. It costs 45 tokens per session (4,370 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided planning tool that helps map the possible directions for a software project. It combines codebase review, outside research, diagrams, and a saved “compass” document.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explore a broad planning question, compare future technical directions, prepare for planning sessions, or update an existing project strategy after major changes.
Why use it?
It helps when a project has many options or has grown hard to keep strategically consistent. The decisions are made through a conversation using the project’s goals and priorities.

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

chart-course 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 4d 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.

Chart Course — Interactive Strategic Compass Builder

When to Use

  • Starting a new project phase and mapping all possible directions
  • Project has grown enough that strategic coherence needs explicit tracking
  • Understanding how near-term work relates to long-term options
  • Updating an existing compass after significant project changes
  • Preparing for a planning session and need a current landscape assessment

This is an interactive skill. The user provides vision and priorities; the skill provides codebase analysis, external research, and visualization. The compass is built collaboratively through conversation, not generated autonomously.

Arguments

/chart-course {focus_or_question} [compass_path=<path>]
  • {focus_or_question} — Required. A broad strategic question or focus area. Examples: "Map all possible directions for the research platform", "What are our options for distributed compute?", "Where should we invest for compliance readiness?"
  • compass_path=<path> — Optional. Path to an existing compass document. When provided, the skill loads the existing compass as the starting point and the conversation focuses on updating, adding, or retiring directions.

GitHub Issue Detection

Scan ARGUMENTS for GitHub issue references (full URL, owner/repo#N, bare #N). If detected, call fetch_github_issue(issue_url, include_comments: true) and incorporate the issue content as additional strategic context.

Critical Constraints

NEVER:

  • Modify any source code files — this is a read-only analysis skill
  • Create files outside {{AUTOSKILLIT_TEMP}}/chart-course/
  • Dismiss directions the user raises — every direction gets honest assessment
  • Use implementation difficulty as a reason to exclude a direction
  • Include cost estimates or timelines — map what IS, not what it costs
  • Skip diagrams — progressive visualization is the core value of this skill
  • Generate the compass document without user review and approval
  • Write the final compass to disk until the user confirms (plan-apply pattern)
  • Proceed past a checkpoint without user response

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.
