probe-compute-environment

probe-compute-environment is a skill for Codex from xuzhougeng/wisp-science. It costs 72 tokens per session (391 once invoked), scanned A, original, AGPL-3.0.

A procedure for inspecting a registered computer or server before using it for computational work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before enabling an unfamiliar SSH or WSL resource or planning jobs that depend on GPU access, sudo, conda, mamba, Python, R, or environment modules.
Why use it?
It reveals what the environment actually supports, reducing failed plans based on assumed access to GPUs, Python, schedulers, or administrative tools.

About the project

xuzhougeng/wisp-science is a local-first desktop workbench for scientific research that combines AI assistants with Python and R computing, literature search, scientific databases, and remote runtimes. Researchers use it to run analyses, manage project artifacts, and preserve evidence and decisions on their own machines. Its catalogue skills and instruction extend the workbench’s reusable agent workflows.

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

probe-compute-environment 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 10d 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.

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.
