whistlegraph

whistlegraph is a skill for Codex from whistlegraph/aesthetic-computer. It costs 26 tokens per session (469 once invoked), scanned A, original, ISC.

A set of instructions for maintaining whistlegraph.org and making limited frontend changes through its authenticated Desk Git workflow. Git is a system for tracking changes to code and other project files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Curating whistlegraph.org and making narrowly scoped frontend updates through Whistlegraph Desk.
Why use it?
It gives an agent the project-specific process for editing the site and submitting changes safely.

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

whistlegraph 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 2mo 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

Whistlegraph Desk

Use the whistlegraph_* MCP tools whenever the user asks to inspect, edit, commit, publish, deploy, or roll forward the Whistlegraph frontend. Do not substitute raw shell Git commands for the publishing tools.

The user must run Codex from an aesthetic-computer checkout whose origin can push to the Tangled knot. Authentication comes from the shared Aesthetic Computer session in ~/.ac-token; if it is absent or expired, tell the user to run ac-login and retry.

Frontend change workflow

  1. Call whistlegraph_whoami and confirm the server grants maintainer access.
  2. Call whistlegraph_begin_change with a short summary. This creates an isolated worktree from the current origin/main; it never uses or alters the user's working tree.
  3. Inspect with whistlegraph_list_frontend, whistlegraph_read_frontend, and whistlegraph_diff_change.
  4. Edit only through whistlegraph_replace_frontend or whistlegraph_write_frontend. The server is intentionally limited to system/public/whistlegraph.org/**.
  5. Call whistlegraph_validate_change. Resolve every reported error before publishing.
  6. Show the user the final diff summary and ask for explicit confirmation before calling whistlegraph_publish_change unless the user already explicitly asked to publish.
  7. Publishing creates a normal attributed commit, pushes its review branch, fast-forwards main only if the original base is still current, and asks the Auth0-protected Desk endpoint to deploy that exact SHA.

If main moved, begin a fresh change and reapply the desired edit. Never force push, reset shared history, bypass validation, edit outside the allowlist, or ask for deployment secrets.

Archive metadata edits remain available in the web Desk at https://whistlegraph.org/desk. This first MCP release focuses on frontend files and the Git/deployment path.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
