custody-recognition is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zts212653/clowder-ai. It costs 43 tokens per session (958 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A conversation policy for deciding when an AI assistant has been explicitly trusted with a task. It checks the original request and keeps track of whether the work was accepted, declined, or needs clarification.

In plain words
What is it for?
Handling task handoffs, ownership decisions, and follow-up questions in agent conversations.
Why use it?
It prevents the assistant from claiming responsibility too early, asking duplicate questions, or creating duplicate tasks.

About the project

Clowder AI is a self-hosted workspace where AI agents from different model families work together as a persistent team, retaining identities, shared evidence, and memory across tasks. It is for people who want to coordinate multiple AI agents without repeatedly rebuilding their context.

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

custody-recognition 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 6d 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.

Custody Recognition

This skill is the soft recognition policy at the ordinary conversation entry. It never owns work, attention, or scheduling truth. The exact source Message owns the offer/disposition; Task alone owns durable custody.

Read the exact source first

Use the current source message id. Read any source-bound custodyOfferV1 already supplied in context before choosing a branch:

  • pending: do not create another offer or Task. Let the original rich choice stand.
  • accepted + admitted/resumed: custody already exists. Do not prompt again; use the returned owner ref when continuing the work.
  • accepted + needs_clarification: ask only the missing decision-changing question in this same conversation. After the answer, use cat_cafe_retry_custody_admission with the exact source revision, offer id, and complete Task contract. The server reuses the stored idempotency key.
  • declined/dismissed: do not re-offer or admit. Continue conversationally unless the human later makes a new explicit entrustment.

Choose one branch

Explicit entrustment

Examples: “帮我接住”, “这件事你来跟”, or a direct request to own and finish an outcome.

Call cat_cafe_admit_entrusted_work immediately with:

  • basis: explicit_entrustment;
  • the exact source message ref;
  • a stable idempotency key derived from that source ref;
  • the intended outcome;
  • a closure condition and expected signal;
  • only source-backed time and Artifact refs.

When the source states an unambiguous deadline or review time, resolve it against the authenticated invocation date/time and pass it in the top-level canonical time.businessDeadline or time.reviewBy field with sourceRef: message:<sourceMessageId>. admission.timeHints may preserve the verbatim wording, but it never becomes Task time and never makes the item appear in Schedule. If the time cannot be resolved without changing the commitment, return needs_clarification instead of silently dropping the time.

Do not show an offer after explicit entrustment. Return the compact typed receipt or the exact needs_clarification reason.
