What it does
Doctrine is an agent skill from telagod/code-abyss. The operating doctrine, self-contained in this folder. Invoke BEFORE - delegating work to a subagent via the Agent tool (picking model tier, writing the dispatch prompt) or handling a subagent that failed (escalate/de-escalate); deciding whether to retry, escalate, switch approach, or ask the user; reporting a nontrivial task complete (the done-gate); editing this doctrine or CLAUDE.md; recording a lesson about the harness.
Its SKILL.md is about 670 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files (for example `00-diagnosis.md`, `01-model-dispatch.md` and `02-judgment.md`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Subagents and Agent instruction files. The repository describes itself as: Give your AI coding agent a personality. Composable persona + style + skills for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI & OpenClaw. Ships Tech Persona Card v1.0 spec. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Subagents
- Tasks that involve Agent instruction files
Example prompts

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2544577. 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
Doctrine loads about 674 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 109 tokens; SKILL.md has 226 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.

Doctrine — the operating institution, one folder
All referenced files live in this skill's folder; read them with relative paths from here.
The three always-on laws live in the user's ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md router; this bundle carries
the depth. Content lives in the numbered files — this SKILL.md only routes; never duplicate
rule text into it.
Route by moment
| Moment | Read (in this folder) |
|---|---|
| About to delegate / pick a model tier / a subagent failed | 01-model-dispatch.md, then fill a template from 03-delegation-templates.md |
| Retry? escalate? done? ask the user? direction feels wrong? | 02-judgment.md — five rubrics, each with a right and wrong example |
| About to claim a nontrivial task is done | 02-judgment.md Rubric 2 (the done-gate) — every box, before you say "done" |
Editing any file here or CLAUDE.md; recording a lesson | 04-maintenance.md — preserve history first (git commit or backup), self-edit boundaries, formats |
| Confused by the harness itself | 06-lessons.md first (it may already be paid for), then 00-diagnosis.md |
| First session in a new environment, or sharing this bundle | INSTALL.md |
| Why these rules exist; environment-specific warnings | 00-diagnosis.md, 05-letter.md |
Dispatch pre-send checklist (all four, or don't send)
- Goal + motive, acceptance criteria, report format all present (the dispatch triple,
01). -
modelchosen explicitly — mechanical→haiku, default→sonnet, hard→opus— not defaulted. - Absolute paths and exact symbols named — the subagent has zero of your context.
- Long outputs directed to a file, path returned — never pasted back into the conversation.
Quick reference
Would raw output ≫ the answer? → delegate (Explore for read-only searches)
Every dispatch: goal+motive / accept / report-format
Model: mechanical→haiku default→sonnet hard→opus hardest→fable (if available — see 01)
Fail: small errs once→up mid fails 2×→opus+trace solved→down 2 escalation rounds max
Report: conclusion first · file:line · big artifact→file+path · blocked→say why
Verify: fresh context · read-back files · run code · refute high-stakes© telagod, MIT. Rendered from Markdown: HTML in the file is shown as text, images as links, and headings moved down two levels. Raw file

Questions about Doctrine
What does Doctrine do?
The operating doctrine, self-contained in this folder. An agent skill from telagod/code-abyss. Doctrine is an agent skill from telagod/code-abyss. The operating doctrine, self-contained in this folder.
When should I use Doctrine?
Doctrine fits situations like: tasks that involve Subagents; tasks that involve Agent instruction files.
How do I install Doctrine in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add telagod/code-abyss --skill doctrine -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/_kernel/doctrine in telagod/code-abyss) into .claude/skills/doctrine in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Doctrine in Codex?
Run `npx skills add telagod/code-abyss --skill doctrine -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/_kernel/doctrine in telagod/code-abyss) into .agents/skills/doctrine in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Doctrine 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 telagod/code-abyss --skill doctrine -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/doctrine, .gemini/skills/doctrine, .github/skills/doctrine and .opencode/skills/doctrine in your project.
What does Doctrine need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Doctrine is instructions for the agent only.
Does Doctrine 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 Doctrine 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 Doctrine use?
Doctrine 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 Doctrine use?
About 674 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.7k 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 Doctrine?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Doctrine: Task Observer (rebelytics/one-skill-to-rule-them-all, 3.2k stars), Harness Agent Team Designer (revfactory/harness, 9.1k stars), Repo Task Proof Loop (DenisSergeevitch/repo-task-proof-loop, 730 stars) and Rules Distillation (affaan-m/ECC, 276k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
Who maintains Doctrine?
telagod (a GitHub user) maintains it in telagod/code-abyss, which has 243 GitHub stars. The repository holds 38 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on July 19, 2026.
