auto

auto is a skill for Claude Code from yonatangross/orchestkit. It costs 99 tokens per session (3,498 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An intent router that reads a plain-English goal and sends it to the most suitable specialist skill.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps route requests such as fixing a problem, finding information, or completing a development task to the appropriate workflow.
Why use it?
It removes the need to know the exact name of a skill before getting started.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • medium Excessive Agency · line 15
    Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.
    Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.
  • medium Excessive Agency · line 123
    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

auto 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 11d 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.

auto — Intent Router

The front door to OrchestKit. You describe a goal in plain English; the router classifies it and hands off to the right specialist. One entry point, many execution paths.

Why this exists: OrchestKit has 110 skills, but usage telemetry shows users fire only the handful they can name by memory (10 distinct skills across thousands of sessions). The dominant cause of "dead" skills is no front door — not low quality. This router turns "you must know the exact /ork:<name>" into "describe what you want."

Core principle: routing is a deterministic workflow, not an autonomous agent (Anthropic, Building Effective Agents). Classify → confirm → hand off. The router never does the work itself — it picks who does.

When to use

By default, for any goal-shaped request. An unambiguous goal is a 1-step route: auto classifies, confirms in one line, and hands off — no extra hops, so there is no "too obvious for auto".

Use auto for… Skip only when…
Any goal description ("fix X", "get Y to Z") Already executing inside another skill (no recursion)
The right skill isn't obvious Chaining a known multi-skill workflow you're mid-way through
You think you know the skill — auto confirms & short-circuits

Design note (2026-07-12): this table previously said "Go direct when you already know the skill / the request maps unambiguously to one". That inverted instruction made the front door structurally unreachable — a competent model always believes it knows the target, so the router recorded near-zero invocations across thousands of sessions (the exact dead-skill problem the "Why this exists" note above describes). Routers must be framed as the default path, not an escape hatch for confusion.

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.
