functional-area-resolver

functional-area-resolver is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from timurgaleev/memex. It costs 89 tokens per session (3,793 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of functional-area-resolver, MIT.

A pattern for shortening an agent's routing file by grouping many individual skills under broader functional areas. A routing file tells the agent which skill to use for a particular request.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a RESOLVER.md or AGENTS.md file has grown too large because every skill has its own routing row, especially in projects with hundreds of skills.
Why use it?
It reduces the size of large routing files and leaves more context available for the actual task. The grouped entries still name the smaller skills they can dispatch to.

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

functional-area-resolver 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 1mo 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.

Functional-Area Resolver — Pattern for Compressing Routing Tables

Problem

Routing files (RESOLVER.md, AGENTS.md) grow as skills are added. Each skill gets its own row (trigger -> skill path). At ~200+ skills this hits 25-30KB, eating context budget that should go to actual work.

Solution: Functional-Area Dispatchers

Replace N rows per area with one entry per functional area. Each entry lists all sub-skills it can dispatch to in a (dispatcher for: ...) clause.

Before (270 rows, 25KB)

- Creating/enriching a person or company page -> `enrich`
- Fix broken citations in brain pages -> `citation-fixer`
- Publish/share a brain page as link -> `publish`
- Generate PDF from brain page -> `brain-pdf`
- Read a book through lens of a problem -> `strategic-reading`
- Personalized book analysis -> `book-mirror`
- Brain integrity -> `maintain`
...

After (13 rows, 13KB)

- **Brain & knowledge**: create/enrich/search/export brain pages, filing,
  citations, publishing, book analysis, strategic reading, concept synthesis,
  archive mining -> `brain-ops` (dispatcher for: enrich, query, brain-pdf,
  publish, maintain, citation-fixer, book-mirror,
  strategic-reading, concept-synthesis, archive-crawler, ...)

Why It Works

The LLM doesn't need one row per sub-skill. It needs:

  1. Area recognition — "this is about brain pages" -> Brain & Knowledge
  2. Sub-skill visibility — the (dispatcher for: ...) list shows what's available
  3. The skill file itself — once the LLM reads brain-ops/SKILL.md, it has full routing detail

This is a two-layer dispatch: routing file routes to the area, the area skill routes to the specific sub-skill. Each layer does one job well.

A/B Eval Results

Three resolver architectures were tested across three Anthropic frontier models (Opus 4.7, Sonnet 4.6, Haiku 4.5) on real production AGENTS.md content, 20 hand-authored training fixtures + 5 held-out blind fixtures, n=3 seeded repeats per (fixture, variant). Two scoring rules: STRICT (predicted slug exactly equals expected) and LENIENT (predicted is in the same dispatcher area as expected). Both matter:

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.
