What it does

Krypton Execution is an agent skill from jturntdev/krypton. Use when executing an approved Krypton plan, GOAL.md, or implementation plan that already defines intent, ownership, contract, cutover, task boundaries, and acceptance evidence. Use for main-agent execution with explorer, plan-reviewer, reviewer, maintainer, or verifier gates.

Its SKILL.md is about 840 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `maintainer-prompt.md` and `post-plan-reviewer-prompt.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Planning. It works with GitHub Actions. The repository describes itself as: Goal-based planning and proof gate for AI coding agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Executing an approved Krypton plan
  • Implementation plan that already defines intent
  • Task boundaries
  • Acceptance evidence

Example prompts

  • “/krypton-execution”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Confirm the task still matches the plan contract.
  2. Gather only the context needed for the task.
  3. Implement directly in the main agent.
  4. Review the result before integration or checkpoint.
  5. Check for wrong owner, duplicate path, missing cutover, contract drift, and weak proof.
  6. Commit or checkpoint only the current task files when the local workflow expects commits.
  7. Update the task board.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0b95d97. 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.

    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

Krypton Execution loads about 841 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 368 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~841

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.

description
Use when executing an approved Krypton plan, GOAL.md, or implementation plan that already defines intent, ownership, contract, cutover, task boundaries, and acceptance evidence. Use for main-agent execution with explorer, plan-reviewer, reviewer, maintainer, or verifier gates.

Krypton Execution

Krypton Execution runs an approved plan without drifting from its ownership, cutover, and evidence contract.

Required Roles

Use the role expectations in ../../docs/required-roles.md when the harness supports named agents. Implementation stays with the main agent. The normal execution stack is:

text
explorer -> main agent -> plan-reviewer -> reviewer -> maintainer -> verifier

Use the individual prompt templates in this skill folder:

  • post-plan-reviewer-prompt.md
  • reviewer-prompt.md
  • maintainer-prompt.md

Entry Rule

Do not invent the plan inside this workflow. If no approved plan, goal document, or clear task board exists, ask for one direct input or use Krypton Planning first. Prefer a full Krypton goal package:

text
docs/goals/<goal-slug>/PLAN.md
docs/goals/<goal-slug>/GOAL.md
docs/goals/<goal-slug>/EVIDENCE.md

Before work starts, restate:

text
Goal:
Plan path:
Intent:
Truth owner:
Contract boundary:
Cutover:
Displaced path:
Acceptance evidence:
Kill criteria:
Forbidden moves:

Task Board

Turn the plan into an ordered board:

text
Task:
Owner:
Input:
Files allowed:
Files forbidden:
Output:
Evidence:
Depends on:
Parallel safe:

Run implementation tasks sequentially in the main agent unless the approved plan explicitly says otherwise.

Execution Loop

For each task:

  1. Confirm the task still matches the plan contract.
  2. Gather only the context needed for the task.
  3. Implement directly in the main agent.
  4. Review the result before integration or checkpoint.
  5. Check for wrong owner, duplicate path, missing cutover, contract drift, and weak proof.
  6. Commit or checkpoint only the current task files when the local workflow expects commits.
  7. Update the task board.

The main agent owns implementation, integration, and final coherence.

Evidence Gate

Do not call the goal complete because tests, lint, typecheck, or diffs passed. Those are supporting checks.

Completion requires target-perspective evidence, such as:

  • UI or visual change: browser state, screenshot, or rendered output.
  • API or data flow: request/response, fixture, trace, or persisted record.
  • CLI or workflow: command plus important output proving the behavior.
  • Migration or cutover: old path deleted, redirected, demoted, or shimmed with a removal trigger.
  • Hidden logic: deterministic artifact showing the intended result.

If evidence cannot be captured, report the blocker and say implemented but unproven.

Record the accepted evidence in EVIDENCE.md before the final response when the repo uses Krypton goal packages.

Final Gates

Before final response:

  1. Run POST plan review when the plan had a review gate.
  2. Run correctness review for behavior, data integrity, trust, and missing evidence.
  3. Run maintainability review for duplicate paths, stale artifacts, coupling, and unclear ownership.
  4. Fix important findings or record why they remain.
  5. Summarize changed artifacts, acceptance evidence, review result, and blockers.

Can I use Krypton Execution in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add jturntdev/krypton --skill krypton-execution -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/krypton-execution, .gemini/skills/krypton-execution, .github/skills/krypton-execution and .opencode/skills/krypton-execution in your project.

What does Krypton Execution need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Krypton Execution is instructions for the agent only.

Does Krypton Execution access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Krypton Execution safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Krypton Execution use?

Krypton Execution is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Krypton Execution use?

About 841 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
