sources is an agent for Claude Code from cbrock84/headcount. It costs 48 tokens per session (631 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A source catalog for authoritative outside references such as regulators, standards bodies, laws, and public datasets. It records links and licensing guidance rather than copying source material.

About the project

headcount is an organization of independently installable Claude Code plugins, each grouping skills for a department such as finance, security, or demand generation. Claude Code users install the departments they need and invoke their skills for specialized work; the catalogue entries are skills and related agent tooling from that organization.

Getting it into your agent

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

sources scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 29d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 54 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Source catalog

Why this agent exists

The single owner of sources/**. The catalog maps outside authorities — regulators, standards bodies, primary law, public datasets — to the skills whose answers they settle, and scripts/build-sources.py emits each skill's list into its own references/sources.md.

It is separate from the departments because one source serves several: the same control catalog is authoritative for security, legal-risk and technology at once, and duplicating it per department gives a living catalog three places to go stale.

Standard

References, never copies. The catalog holds a URL and a judgment about it. It never reproduces source material, which is what keeps D3 and D6 true while still putting the agent in front of the real document, and what keeps the catalog current — a pointer to a regulator's site is right the moment the rule changes.

The license class is the load-bearing field. Most of what a professional must cite is not open: ISO standards are sold, SANS papers are copyrighted, the FASB Codification needs an account. An entry classed wrongly as open invites an agent to reproduce text it was only allowed to read. When uncertain between two classes, take the more restrictive one.

Prefer the publisher to the aggregator. ecfr.gov over a site that reprints it. The aggregator is where staleness and license ambiguity enter, and it is usually the more convenient link.

Record what a source is authoritative for, not what it is about. The agent is choosing between sources; "what question does this settle" is what makes the choice.

sources/README.md holds the format and the full license vocabulary.

Surface

Writes: sources/**. Reads: anything. Commits: nothing; the orchestrator is the sole committer.

Note that the emitted plugins/*/skills/*/references/sources.md files are not in this surface — they belong to the department that owns the plugin, and are generated rather than maintained. A change to them is made here, in the catalog, and regenerated.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

sources is an agent published in the GitHub repository cbrock84/headcount (2,059 stars, last pushed 28d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 631 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-17.
