Claude-Mind: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/aspirations-all-blocked/SKILL.md

aspirations-all-blocked is a skill for Claude Code from zkysar1/Claude-Mind. It costs 103 tokens per session (14,718 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A recovery workflow for when every available goal is blocked by an outside dependency. It searches for other useful work, starts new aspirations where possible, and uses backoff only when no productive path remains.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when goal selection finds no executable goal, to inspect blockers, create alternative work, research, reflect, evolve, or wait appropriately when everything is genuinely user-gated.
Why use it?
It keeps the agent from stopping just because its current goals are waiting on someone or something external.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter.

This is zkysar1/Claude-Mind's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on Claude-Mind itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything Claude-Mind configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is echo '<goal_json>' | bash core/scripts/aspirations-add-goal.sh --source agent asp-001.

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 →

  • low Excessive Agency · line 326
    Skill's behavior or capabilities extend beyond its stated purpose. Scope creep allows an agent to perform actions unrelated to its documented functionality, increasing the attack surface.
    Fix: Limit the skill's scope to its documented purpose. Remove instructions that enable the agent to perform actions outside its stated functionality.

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

aspirations-all-blocked 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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 1,059 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/aspirations-all-blocked — Deep While Blocked

Invocation contract. Caller (aspirations orchestrator) has verified that /aspirations-select returned goal is None AND selection_reason starts with "all_blocked" — goals exist but all are blocked on external dependencies.

Principle. "No Terminal State" — generate new work that avoids blocked resources. Only sleep as absolute LAST RESORT after all generation attempts fail.

Quiescence exception (Change 2). When the queue is structurally user-gated (every blocked goal has a typed blocker_ref with observable external_id and future expires_at, hysteresis passes, and wall-clock budget is intact), the quiescence gate at B6.5 approves a longer sleep in place of the B7 backoff ladder. This is not giving up — it's recognizing that honest silence is a valid output when all generation signals are genuinely exhausted. The gate is script-gated, not LLM-discretionary. See core/config/modes/autonomous.md → "Core Design Principle: No Terminal State" for the full doctrine.

Control-flow contract. This skill terminates via one of two paths:

  • LOOP_CONTINUE (new executable goals were created) — re-enters the orchestrator loop via Skill('aspirations') with args='loop'. The orchestrator's selection pass will pick up the newly-created goals.
  • RETURN (all generation exhausted) — yields to the harness via interruptible-sleep.sh run_in_background=true. The harness re-enters the loop on the sleep's exit notification. blocked_sleep_until is set in WM so Phase -0.5e's idle-tick.sh short-circuit can activate on re-entry.

Inputs

  • selection_context: Output from /aspirations-select containing blocked_goals, by_reason, blocked_count (passed by the orchestrator)
  • evolutions_this_session (int) — current evolution-count state for cap tracking
  • max_evolutions_per_session (int) — from config
  • goals_completed_this_session (int) — for logging/tracking
  • session_signals (dict) — mutable state for consecutive_blocked_sleeps backoff counter. The sub-skill increments this on B7.2 entry.

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.
