wtf-now

wtf-now is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Wave-Engineering/mcp-server-wtf. It costs 0 tokens per session (244 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A journal-entry tool for the WTF flight recorder, a troubleshooting log for recording observations about a system. It saves the user's free-form note as an intentional entry.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to record observations such as stale DNS records, error times in logs, or possible causes during debugging.
Why use it?
It provides a quick way to capture symptoms, checks, or theories without requiring the user to classify the entry themselves. A background process handles that classification later.

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

wtf-now 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 6d 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.

What it actually says

/wtf now — Record a Manual Journal Entry

Add a manual observation to the WTF flight recorder journal. The entry is stored as a crafted (intentional) record. Classification of the entry's action type is handled by the background classifier — do not attempt to infer it here.

Resolve Intent

The entire argument string after /wtf now is the freeform text to record. There are no subcommands or flags.

Examples:

  • /wtf now the DNS resolver is returning stale records
  • /wtf now "checked nginx logs — 502s started at 14:32"
  • /wtf now theory: might be a connection pool exhaustion issue

Steps

1. Record the entry

Call the wtf_now MCP tool with:

{
  "gen_type": "crafted",
  "text": "<user's text>"
}

Do not set action_type. Leave classification to the background classifier.

2. Confirm to the user

Respond with:

Recorded: <user's text>

Nothing else is needed. Keep it brief so the user can continue troubleshooting without interruption.

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.
