What it does

Cordis Composition Reference is an agent skill from singula-ai/alego. Use when writing or reading a Cordis bundle patch or agent preset for this harness and you need the Loader YAML dialect (insert, override by id, group, disabled, isolate, !!js) or the list of installable Harness plugin packages and what each provides.

Its SKILL.md is about 700 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/packages.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Build AI Agents like playing LEGOs. Everything is a Plugin. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Agent preset for this harness and you need the Loader YAML dialect (insert
  • The list of installable Harness plugin packages and what each provides

Example prompts

  • “/cordis-composition-reference”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a79fe9a. 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

Cordis Composition Reference loads about 702 tokens when it runs, and up to ~10k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 347 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~702
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~10k

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.

Cordis composition reference

Reference material for bundle patches and preset plugin lists. Procedures live in cordis-plugin-development and editing-cordis-compositions.

Loader patch dialect

A profile composes an ordered list of patch layers over the bundle entry lists. Each patch is a mapping:

  • insert: [rows] appends rows; with an id naming an existing group: true row, the rows are appended inside that group's config list.
  • A patch with an id and no insert targets the existing row with that id. Supplied fields replace the row's fields; config is replaced wholesale, never deep-merged, so restate every field the row needs. A truthy name asserts the existing plugin name rather than renaming it.
  • Non-insert patches without a nonempty id, and targets that match no row, are warned about and skipped.

A row has id, name (the plugin package specifier; inserted relative paths are anchored beside their patch file), optional config, and optional disabled, inject, intercept, and isolate.

  • group: true with name: cordis:group makes config a nested entry list and allows patches to insert into it by id. cordis:include loads a literal YAML or JSON entry list from config.path.
  • disabled accepts a boolean, null, or a !!js expression evaluated against the Loader context at every mount decision. A disabled row omits required config unless group: true forces activation.
  • !!js scalars are Loader expressions, never !js. Inside config they are evaluated after the row's declared injections activate, against that plugin's context (ctx.<service>), so !!js alegoHomePath('sessions') and !!js "!ctx.get('profileContext')" are valid. Other row metadata stays literal.
  • isolate maps service names to true or a realm label; a preset plugin that provides a service isolates the provider and all consumers together. Scope controls contributions and event visibility; isolate controls service instances.

plugin_manager list_plugins reports each row's enabled flag and fiberPhase; set_plugin and set_bundle answer overridden when a higher-priority layer wins.

Installable plugin packages

references/packages.md lists every workspace package that exports a Cordis plugin, grouped by package group, with whether its row takes config. Search it with grep -n <keyword> rather than reading it whole. Plugins outside this list come from installed bundles; plugin_manager list_bundles names them.
