second-pass-grasp

second-pass-grasp is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from yogsoth-ai/de-anthropocentric-research-engine. It costs 79 tokens per session (478 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A careful full read of an academic paper that focuses on understanding its main contribution and evidence, while leaving detailed proofs and derivations for later.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after the first-pass skim in Keshav's three-pass method. It produces a prose explanation rather than a fixed worksheet or structured data object.
Why use it?
It helps you reach enough understanding to explain the paper to a colleague without mixing this stage with a quick skim or an exhaustive technical review.

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

second-pass-grasp 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.

What it actually says

Second Pass Grasp

Keshav's second pass: full read, proofs/derivations deferred, output is accumulated prose understanding (not a structured artifact — this is the one method in this package's whole method set that deliberately does not produce a persisted structured object).

Execution

Subagent — spawned via spawn-agent skill.

Why Subagent

Full-text reading toward a genuine "could explain this to a colleague" understanding benefits from an uninterrupted context, distinct from the shallow first pass and the exhaustive third pass.

Do not port v1's bundle schema here

An earlier version of this package (staged/wechat-article-v1/skills/second-pass-grasp/) produced a draft_bundle + uncertain_fields structure for its own WeChat-article pipeline. That was correct for v1's purpose but is NOT Keshav's original second pass — this v2 SOP's output is prose, per the graph's explicit correction (context/2026-08-07-13-42-sop-pipeline-graph.html, node second-pass-grasp, "S2修订"). Do not reintroduce the bundle schema here.

Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

SOP When to use
spawn-agent Spawn a customized CC subagent with full MCP tool access.
Files

What ships with it

2 files 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.
