quest

quest is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Wondermonger-daydreaming/claude-skills-library. It costs 32 tokens per session (2,412 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured way to explore problems whose goals are unclear at first. It keeps track of what has been considered and uses each round to help clarify what you want.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps explore research topics, names, project ideas, design directions, career choices, and other open-ended decisions.
Why use it?
It prevents the conversation from settling too quickly on the most obvious answer. This is useful when you can recognise the right direction only after seeing several possibilities.

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

quest 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 8d 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.

Quest

The search quest as structured practice — discover what you want by exploring what exists

Inspired by Luo, King, Puett & Smith (2025), "Inducing Sustained Creativity and Diversity in Large Language Models." The paper formalizes the search quest: a problem where (1) the goal is ill-defined at the outset, (2) finding the right answer matters deeply, and (3) the user discovers their preferences through the exploration itself. Research topics, names, design directions, metaphors, career moves — these aren't queries with answers, they're quests with destinations you recognize only upon arrival.

Standard LLM interactions fail search quests because they converge too fast. You get the modal answer, rephrase, get a slight variation, give up. The quest skill maintains state across rounds — tracking what's been explored, what the user reacted to, and actively steering toward unexplored territory.


When to Invoke

  • "I need a research topic but I don't know what area yet"
  • "Help me find a name for X"
  • "What should my next project be?"
  • "I want an angle on this paper but everything feels obvious"
  • Any problem where the user says "I'll know it when I see it"
  • Exploratory literature review — mapping a field before committing to a direction

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.
