using-godmode

using-godmode is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from thiientv/godmode. It costs 91 tokens per session (1,057 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for choosing the right Godmode skills for a coding task. Godmode is a collection of working agreements that covers stages such as planning, implementation, testing, review, and release.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps decide which skill to use for new designs, approved plans, bugs, code reviews, repository exploration, technical research, and completion checks.
Why use it?
It prevents important parts of the engineering process from being skipped. It also helps match the amount of process to the task's risk and current stage.

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

using-godmode 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 99 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Using Godmode

Treat the catalog as a set of working agreements, not a command list. Choose the smallest set of skills that changes the outcome of the task, identify the current lifecycle state, then load the selected skill before acting on its responsibility.

Select by task state

First classify the task state and risk. Use the risk to decide how much of the lifecycle is justified; do not force a waterfall on trivial work.

DISCOVERY → DESIGN → PLANNING → IMPLEMENTATION → TESTING → REVIEW → VERIFICATION → RELEASE → DONE
  • Ambiguous or consequential new work: solution-design, then implementation-planning.
  • An approved plan: plan-execution; add test-driven-development when code behavior changes.
  • A bug, failure, regression, or unexplained result: root-cause-debugging.
  • A code or configuration change ready for another set of eyes: requesting-code-review or receiving-code-review as appropriate.
  • A completion claim: completion-verification.
  • A visual or interaction change: frontend-design or ui-ux-review.
  • An unfamiliar or cross-cutting repository: codebase-orientation.
  • A version-sensitive external decision: technical-research.
  • A compatibility or state transition: safe-migrations.
  • A production rollout: release-engineering; active user impact switches ownership to incident-response.
  • A runnable public acceptance contract: behavior-validation.
  • A prompt, skill, tool, or agent quality claim: agent-evaluation.
  • Structural friction: architecture-review; local behavior-preserving cleanup: code-simplification.

Add domain skills only when their boundary is present: API contracts, database schema, security risk, performance measurement, browser behavior, testing strategy, documentation decisions, observability, migration, release, architecture, or agent evaluation.

Risk proportionality

Use three practical levels:

  • Low: focused local change; prefer the smallest useful skill set and one fresh verification check.
  • Medium: behavior or integration change; include regression evidence and an appropriate review boundary.
  • High/Critical: public API, migration, security-sensitive change, destructive operation, production impact, or consequential data change; collect stronger design, test, review, and completion evidence.

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.

using-godmode is a skill published in the GitHub repository thiientv/godmode (93 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 91 tokens to every session and 1,057 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
