What it does

Investigate Contract is an agent skill from ossappscollective/oss-weather. Read-only guarantee + interactive-vs-autonomous (--auto) behavior for investigate modes. Internal helper invoked by the investigate mode of feat / fix — not meant to be run on its own.

Its SKILL.md is about 800 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 Development. The repository describes itself as: An OSS weather app for iOS/Android. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/investigate-contract”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ddd6157. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Investigate Contract loads about 803 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 399 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~803

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.

disable-model-invocation
true

Applies whenever a skill runs with --investigate. The domain-specific output (a plan, or a bug triage) and any labeling live in the calling skill; this is the shared contract.

Read-only (enforce yourself)

Investigate mode is strictly read-only: never edit code, never create a branch, never commit. Nothing at the tool level blocks you here, so hold the line yourself. The only writes you make are the GitHub-issue comment (gh issue comment, via the save-plan-to-github skill) and, in autonomous mode, a label the calling skill may add (gh issue edit --add-label). Other hard limits (no force-push, no destructive shell) are enforced by .claude/settings.json deny/ask rules — if a tool call is blocked, do not work around it.

Interactive vs autonomous

--investigate is interactive by default; --investigate --auto is autonomous. The analysis is identical — only the human-in-the-loop differs:

Interactive (--investigate)Autonomous (--investigate --auto)
QuestionsMay ask 1-2 targeted questions when a material ambiguity changes the outputNever ask — record the assumption and proceed
Use caseWhile the user is at their machineUnattended batch (e.g. nightly)

Record assumptions instead of blocking

When the issue is underspecified, don't stall. Interactive: ask only the question(s) that materially change the output; for everything minor, state the assumption explicitly in the posted block (under an "Assumptions" heading) and proceed. Autonomous: never ask — always record the assumption and continue. A reader seeing your assumptions is far more useful than a half-done investigation waiting on input.

Review before posting (interactive only)

The posted block is the deliverable — but in interactive mode the user is sitting with you, so let them shape it before it lands on the issue. Draft the plan, present it in chat, fold in their edits, and post the comment only once they approve. Posting an unreviewed plan and asking for validation after it's already on the issue is backwards when a human is right there to catch a wrong assumption or a missing constraint first.

For the in-chat review, show every section expanded — don't wrap sections in <details> collapsibles (those hide content the user wants to see now). Keep the tables/bullets as-is. Assemble the final comment (with <details> around the long sections) only at the moment you post it, after approval.

Autonomous (--auto) is the exception: there's no human to ask, so post directly — the gh issue comment call is the deliverable and the only write. Never block an unattended run waiting on approval.
