About this skill

Explicit Identity is a skill in parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 (3.9k stars). Its SKILL.md is about 323 tokens, and copies of it appear in 1 other owners' repositories. Licence: MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d07ff4b. 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 typescript).

    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

Explicit Identity loads about 323 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 13 tokens; SKILL.md has 121 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~13
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~323

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.

Explicit Identity Across Boundaries

Never rely on "latest" or "current" when crossing process or async boundaries.

Pattern

Pass explicit identifiers through the entire pipeline. "Most recent" is a race condition.

DO

  • Pass --session-id $ID when spawning processes
  • Store IDs in state files for later correlation
  • Use full UUIDs, not partial matches
  • Keep different ID types separate (don't collapse concepts)

DON'T

  • Query for "most recent session" at execution time
  • Assume the current context will still be current after await/spawn
  • Collapse different ID types:
    • session_id = Claude Code session (human-facing)
    • root_span_id = Braintrust trace (query key)
    • turn_span_id = Braintrust turn within session

Example

typescript
// BAD: race condition at session boundaries
spawn('analyzer', ['--learn'])  // defaults to "most recent"

// GOOD: explicit identity
spawn('analyzer', ['--learn', '--session-id', input.session_id])

Source Sessions

  • 1c21e6c8: Defined session_id vs root_span_id distinction
  • 6a9f2d7a: Fixed wrong-session attribution via explicit passing
  • a541f08a: Confirmed pattern prevents race at session boundaries

Questions about Explicit Identity

How do I install Explicit Identity in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill explicit-identity -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/explicit-identity in parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3) into .claude/skills/explicit-identity in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Explicit Identity in Codex?

Run `npx skills add parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill explicit-identity -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/explicit-identity in parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3) into .agents/skills/explicit-identity in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Explicit Identity 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 parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill explicit-identity -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/explicit-identity, .gemini/skills/explicit-identity, .github/skills/explicit-identity and .opencode/skills/explicit-identity in your project.

What does Explicit Identity need to run?

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

Does Explicit Identity 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 Explicit Identity 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 Explicit Identity use?

Explicit Identity 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 Explicit Identity use?

About 323 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Explicit Identity?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Explicit Identity: No Explicit Any (thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist, 74k stars), Identity Federation (sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, 47k stars), Identity Federation (zhaoxuya520/reverse-skill, 40k stars) and Identity (alsk1992/CloddsBot, 2.9k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
