session-memory-mailbox-exclusion

session-memory-mailbox-exclusion is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ychampion/cskill-agents. It costs 25 tokens per session (382 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A mailbox-safety rule for background agent forks that share messages with a lead agent. It prevents those forks from reading attachments intended for the main conversation.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for multi-agent systems with shared team mailboxes and background or forked workers.
Why use it?
It avoids background agents marking the lead's messages as read and silently taking them out of the main thread.

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

session-memory-mailbox-exclusion 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.

What it actually says

SKILL: Session Memory Mailbox Exclusion

Domain: multi-agent
Trigger: Apply when a background or forked agent shares team context with a leader thread and must not consume mailbox messages intended for the leader. Source Pattern: Distilled from reviewed multi-agent coordination and child-runtime patterns.

Core Method

Treat mailbox-draining attachments as ownership-sensitive, not universally thread-safe. When a background fork shares the same team context as the lead agent, exclude the mailbox attachment path for that fork so it cannot mark leader messages as read and silently steal them from the permanent conversation stream. Keep the exclusion narrow and source-based so the main thread and legitimate teammate consumers still receive mailbox attachments normally.

Key Rules

  • Identify fork classes that share mailbox state with the leader and exclude them from the mailbox drain path.
  • Keep the exclusion focused on the mailbox attachment only; other safe shared attachments should continue to run.
  • Prefer a source or role check that is stable at attachment time so the guard cannot drift with transient runtime conditions.
  • Document why the exclusion exists: the failure mode is message theft, not just redundant work.

Example Application

If a session-memory extractor runs as a background fork against the same team context as the lead agent, skip its teammate mailbox attachment. The leader still receives teammate DMs as durable conversation turns, while the background worker avoids consuming them as ephemeral side attachments.

Anti-Patterns (What NOT to do)

  • Do not let every fork drain the shared mailbox; one background consumer can mark the leader's unread messages as handled.
  • Do not disable all shared attachments for background forks just to solve mailbox theft; keep the guard scoped to the unsafe mailbox path.

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.
