atlas-ledger

atlas-ledger is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from wede-wx/atlas. It costs 56 tokens per session (3,458 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project memory system that records repeated mistakes as short rules in an Atlas.md file. It works with atlas-contract, which checks whether work stays aligned with the agreed goal.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a review catches a mistake, when work drifts from its goal, or when you want to preserve a lesson for future changes.
Why use it?
It prevents the same kind of drift or mistake from being rediscovered in every conversation. New rules are proposed for confirmation before they are saved.

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

atlas-ledger 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 11d 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.

Atlas Ledger v2.2

Give the Atlas series a memory.

Contents

  1. Output Language
  2. When To Run
  3. Distillation (the core) — Steps 1–6
  4. Atlas.md format
  5. Clause maintenance
  6. Integration with atlas-contract
  7. Final Principle

Quick reference

caught drift (auto handoff from Final Audit / Post Review / Phase Check / user request)
 → Step 1  state facts, not motive
 → Step 2  draft WHEN / DON'T / INSTEAD
 → Step 3  four gates: Actionability → Replay → Generalization → Over-reach
 → Step 4  first occurrence = Observation [O#]; repeat or high-severity = Clause [L#]
 → Step 5  propose, ATLAS_STOP, write only after user confirms
 → Step 6  merge-first into Atlas.md; confirmed clauses ≤ 15

atlas-contract defends the goal within one conversation, but it starts from zero every time — it does not know where this project drifted before. atlas-ledger closes that gap: when a drift is caught, it distills the lesson into a permanent, project-local contract clause and (after the user confirms) writes it to Atlas.md. Next time atlas-contract builds a Goal Contract, it loads the relevant clauses, so the defense line thickens with each catch. That is the compounding effect.

It is a low-frequency, lightweight companion. It runs only after a drift is caught, and it stays small on purpose. Do not turn it into a second heavy governance skill — its only hard job is distillation quality.

Core idea

The job is not to keep a diary. A record of "what went wrong" is a memory; it changes nothing. The job is a translation:

turn this caught drift → into a clause that can enter a future contract and trigger a stop.

A diary says "I hid the feature." A ledger clause says "WHEN a backend requirement is blocked, DON'T hide the feature, INSTEAD stop and disclose." Only the second one catches it next time. The entire value of this skill is the quality of that translation — and since it is run by the same model that drifted, the mechanisms below exist to keep it honest rather than trusting it to be careful.

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.
