sysml-reference

A guide for practicing job interviews with an AI coach. It helps prepare behavioral answers using STAR: Situation, Task, Action, and Result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build STAR stories, rehearse interview questions, write a self-introduction, prepare references, and develop questions for the interviewer.
Why use it?
It turns past work experience into clear, specific stories instead of vague answers. It also helps match preparation to the role and anticipate likely interview topics.

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

sysml-reference 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 2d 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 — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

SysML Reference

Use the committed page corpus as a searchable projection of the pinned official PDFs. Treat the PDFs as authoritative and the Markdown as generated retrieval material.

Workflow

  1. Unless the request already supplies an exact specification section or page, the first corpus command must be the ranked, outline-aware finder. Pass the modeling question or a concise description, not just one generic word:

    just model-reference-find "<question or construct description>"
    

    Do not replace this first step with a broad rg over pages/. The finder is designed to handle natural wording without loading every textual match.

  2. Review the ranked section titles and snippets. Open the best page, then read only the adjacent pages needed to finish the section. The finder routes to evidence; its rank is not an answer. If one specification is clearly in scope, rerun with --specification sysml-2.0 or --specification kerml-1.0 before broadening the search.

  3. If results are broad or use different terminology, search outline headings before raw page text:

    rg -n -i '<construct or section phrase>' reference/specifications/{sysml-2.0,kerml-1.0}/index.md
    

    Use raw rg over pages/ only for exact phrases, identifiers, or a cited section number.

  4. Follow normative cross-references between SysML and KerML. Search by both the construct name and any referenced section number, and prefer the normative Clause 8 definition when Clause 7 is explicitly informative.

  5. Inspect the pinned PDF under .cache/sysml/formal/ when a table, figure, mathematical layout, indentation, or questionable extraction affects the conclusion. Run just model-setup if it is absent.

  6. Separate the result into:

    • normative SysML or KerML semantics supported by cited sections and pages;
    • informative examples in the specifications;
    • Vellis repository profile or modeling conventions;
    • explicit inference where the sources do not directly decide the question.
  7. State the reference basis for every consequential conclusion using specification, section, and printed or physical page. Never present training-memory recall as specification evidence.

  8. After changing a model, run the narrow scoped check while editing and the official validation gate required by the repository before completion.

Changes

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.

sysml-reference is a skill published in the GitHub repository volantlabs/vellis (8 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 92 tokens to every session and 799 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 2026-08-31.
