What it does
Methods is an agent skill from telagod/code-abyss. How to think through work, distilled from a stronger model's demonstrated moves - invoke when STARTING to investigate a confusing behavior or debug a root cause; design or evaluate an approach/proposal; plan a multi-step or long-running task; verify work, review findings, or reconcile conflicting reports; write rules, reports, or docs someone else must act on.
Its SKILL.md is about 500 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files (for example `communicate.md`, `design.md` and `execute.md`).
It sits in Development, covering Code review and Root cause analysis. 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

Example prompts
- “/methods”
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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
git
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, 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
Methods loads about 502 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 238 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.

Methods — how to think, by moment
Five domains, each distilled from moves a stronger model actually made (the examples cite
real founding-session events; most are verifiable in the repo — git log, the doctrine
files, archive/ — and the rest come from the founding session's own recorded account).
Governance — whether to delegate, escalate, stop, or claim done — lives in the doctrine
skill; this bundle is how to work the problem once you're in it.
Route by moment
| You are about to… | Read (in this folder) |
|---|---|
| Investigate a bug, a confusing behavior, an unfamiliar system, an anomaly | investigate.md |
| Propose, design, or evaluate an approach (incl. someone else's suggestion) | design.md |
| Start a task with more than ~3 steps, or one that could be interrupted | execute.md |
| Check work — yours or a reviewer's; weigh conflicting reports | verify.md |
| Write anything another model or person must act on (rules, reports, docs) | communicate.md |
Read the ONE file that matches; each is self-contained. If two match (e.g. designing a
verification), read both — they're short. When a task fires this bundle AND doctrine (e.g. "review
this PR" is both a delegation decision and a verification method): doctrine FIRST — decide
whether and to whom to delegate — then the matching methods file for how to do the work.
The stance that generates all five
Every belief is either verified this session or hearsay — the labeling discipline
and the rest of the stance live in investigate.md §3, which is their single home.

Methods is an agent skill from telagod/code-abyss. How to think through work, distilled from a stronger model's demonstrated moves - invoke when STARTING to investigate a confusing behavior or debug a root cause; design or evaluate an approach/proposal; plan a multi-step or long-running task; verify work, review findings, or reconcile conflicting reports; write rules, reports, or docs someone else must act on.
When should I use Methods?
Methods fits situations like: tasks that involve Code review; tasks that involve Root cause analysis.
How do I install Methods in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add telagod/code-abyss --skill methods -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/_kernel/methods in telagod/code-abyss) into .claude/skills/methods in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Methods in Codex?
Run `npx skills add telagod/code-abyss --skill methods -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/_kernel/methods in telagod/code-abyss) into .agents/skills/methods in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Methods 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 methods -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/methods, .gemini/skills/methods, .github/skills/methods and .opencode/skills/methods in your project.
What does Methods need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Methods needs the command-line tools its instructions call (git).
Does Methods access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Methods 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 Methods use?
Methods 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 Methods use?
About 502 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2k 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 Methods?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Methods: Codexqa Rootcause Analyzer (openqa-cn/codexqa, 152 stars), Cwe Code Review (SpecterOps/skills, 702 stars), Targeted Emergency Bug Fix (VeryGoodOpenSource/vgv-wingspan, 108 stars) and Investigate (testdouble/han, 279 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
Who maintains Methods?
telagod (a GitHub user) maintains it in telagod/code-abyss, which has 244 GitHub stars. The repository holds 38 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on July 19, 2026.
