assess

assess is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from yonatangross/orchestkit. It costs 72 tokens per session (6,251 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project setup hook that runs Node commands once during initial setup and starts a background webhook-forwarding process. The available description does not explain what those commands do internally.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during project setup when the project needs the listed setup dispatcher and webhook-forwarder commands to run.
Why use it?
It automates part of first-time project initialization, so setup actions do not have to be run manually. Its exact benefits depend on the referenced setup and webhook scripts.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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

assess 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/memory_writeback.py, scripts/render-spec.mjs), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Assess

Comprehensive assessment skill for answering "is this good?" with structured evaluation, scoring, and actionable recommendations.

🎯 Quick Start

/ork:assess backend/app/services/auth.py
/ork:assess our caching strategy
/ork:assess --model=opus the current database schema
/ork:assess frontend/src/components/Dashboard

Effort levels (CC 2.1.111+ adds xhigh)

Effort Behavior
low / medium Subset of dimensions, faster turnaround
high (default) All six dimensions with pros/cons
xhigh All six dimensions + one additional assessor pass focused on uncertainty/caveats; emits confidence per dimension

xhigh silently falls back to high on a model that does not implement it: no error, no log line. /ork:doctor Category 14 reports this, and only when it can positively prove the active model lacks the tier.


Argument Resolution

Step 0: resolve a conversational reference first

$ARGUMENTS is often not a path. For a bare pronoun or deictic (them, this, that, these, they, same, the above, the last one, what we just did) or an empty target after flags are stripped, the subject is in the conversation. Read back for the NEAREST concrete one (a file just discussed, a diff or PR just opened, a component just investigated) and announce the resolution in one line, so a wrong guess costs a correction rather than a turn: "Reading 'them' as the 3 pretool guards we just probed; say otherwise and I'll switch."

Refusing is the bug, not the safe option. Asking "what does this refer to?" when the previous turn named the subject burns a round-trip re-deriving what is already on screen. Measured 2026-08-28: the operator sent /ork:assess them throguhly one message after "bug in orchestkit hooks", mid-investigation of pretool/bash/dangerous-command-blocker, and this skill replied that "them" had "no antecedent anywhere in this conversation". It had two.

Ask only when the conversation is genuinely empty (a fresh session opening with a bare pronoun). Every other case: resolve and announce.

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.

assess is a skill published in the GitHub repository yonatangross/orchestkit (225 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 72 tokens to every session and 6,251 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
