What it does
Track Refs is an agent skill from Arch1eSUN/Arcgentic. Maintain references/INDEX.md, classify reference RT tier, and emit BA-design triplet rows. Use when adding or refreshing reference projects.
Its SKILL.md is about 320 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: Mechanical plan/dev/self-audit/external-audit gates for AI coding agents, with a configurable role-routing topology engine, an MCP-UI live status panel, and native-tooling Claude… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Refreshing reference projects
Example prompts
- “/track-refs”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8539955. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Track Refs loads about 320 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 87 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
The full file from Arch1eSUN/Arcgentic at commit 8539955, republished under its MIT licence (© Arch1eSUN). 87 words, ~320 tokens.

track-refs
Maintains the local reference catalog used by planning and BA design passes.
When to invoke
- BA design pass needs a reference scan table
- User adds a local reference repo under
references/ - A round needs reference relevance refreshed
Commands
Add a local reference:
arcgentic track-refs add references/<repo> \
--owner-repo owner/repo \
--round R1 \
--usage-evidence '{"pattern_only": true}'Emit BA-design triplet row:
arcgentic track-refs triplet references/<repo> \
--owner-repo owner/repo \
--round R1 \
--usage-evidence '{"pattern_only": true}'Refresh relevance marker:
arcgentic track-refs refresh-relevance --round R1RT tiers
| Tier | Meaning |
|---|---|
| RT0 | Pattern-only reference; no copied/runtime dependency |
| RT1 | Source-adapted code allowed by license |
| RT2 | Binary vendored/distributed |
| RT3 | Imported at runtime |
GPL/AGPL source adaptation is forced to RT0 unless separately approved.
