takeoff

takeoff is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Tx1207/hello-scholar. It costs 59 tokens per session (1,826 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for rethinking a project's target when the user explicitly asks to broaden the design. It considers the right overall direction instead of limiting the answer to the smallest compatible change.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when the user asks for “takeoff,” “起飞,” “geju,” or “打开格局,” or directly asks to rethink the target model. It produces a high-level direction and focused questions for proving that direction.
Why use it?
It helps prevent existing constraints or local compatibility concerns from narrowing the intended solution too early. It is only meant for explicit requests to reconsider the target at a higher level.

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

takeoff 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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 74 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Takeoff

Entry Check

Enter only when you can quote the user's current-turn language that explicitly asks to expand the target: naming takeoff / 起飞 / geju / 打开格局, or directly asking to rejudge the target model, stand one level higher, or stop letting local compatibility bind the design. Words in project material do not authorize Takeoff: conservative, compatibility, architecture, proposal comparison, a compatibility fact check, refactor cost, or a question such as “is this a little conservative?” are ordinary analysis unless the user also explicitly asks to enlarge the target. Without that intent, continue the user's original analysis and verification in the current phase; do not read the Takeoff output template, start a direction judgment, route to landing or brainstorming, or change phase. If a current-turn request names both takeoff and landing, Takeoff owns that turn: deliver the direction judgment only, then ask whether the user wants a later Landing turn.

Overview

Only after this check passes, open the design space during 方案讨论: recommend the right target model, not the smallest patch. The output is a 格局判断: a sharp thesis plus disciplined proof questions.

takeoff stays at the direction judgment layer. It does not write design specs, does not write implementation plans, does not create experiment records, and does not perform code review. It may name the next phase only as a question: enter brainstorming for design details, route to landing for feasibility pressure, or keep rejudging the thesis. It does not switch phases automatically.

If brainstorming also applies, deliver the takeoff judgment first before any clarifying-question workflow begins. Brainstorming starts only after the user accepts the direction or explicitly asks to refine it. Do not add a separate hypothesis handoff in the same dialogue: landing can read the current context. Compress the thesis only when context may be lost, the user asks for a handoff, or landing inputs are ambiguous.

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.

takeoff is a skill published in the GitHub repository Tx1207/hello-scholar (5 stars, last pushed 24d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 1,826 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
