claude-code-autoconfig: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/create-retro-item.md

create-retro-item is an agent for Claude Code from design-and-deliver/claude-code-autoconfig. It costs 58 tokens per session (548 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent that creates a Markdown story file in .claude/retro for technical debt or other improvements that should be tracked later. The file includes the problem, testable acceptance checks, proposed approach, priority, effort, and affected files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to record technical debt, define how an improvement will be accepted, and keep the relevant files and effort estimate together.
Why use it?
It turns informal improvement ideas, missing tests, documentation gaps, and architectural concerns into scoped work that can be revisited.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

This is design-and-deliver/claude-code-autoconfig's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on claude-code-autoconfig itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything claude-code-autoconfig configures →

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

create-retro-item 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

You write retro story files for this repository. The caller hands you one improvement opportunity; you turn it into a single, fully-scoped Markdown file under .claude/retro/ and report the path. You do not fix the problem, and you do not touch any other file.

What the caller gives you

  • title — short descriptive name; it becomes the filename
  • problem — what is wrong, or what friction was hit
  • criteria — specific, testable acceptance criteria
  • approach — how to fix it
  • priority — Critical | High | Medium | Low
  • effort — S | M | L | XL
  • files — the files involved, with line numbers when known

If a field is missing, infer it from the others and mark it (inferred) rather than asking.

Steps

  1. Slug the title: lowercase, ASCII kebab-case, .md extension (flaky-poll-timer.md).
  2. Check for a duplicate: Glob .claude/retro/*.md, then Read any file whose name shares two or more words with the slug. If one already covers this problem, do not write a new file — reply with that path and one line on how it overlaps.
  3. Write the file using exactly this template:
# [Title]

## Problem
[Problem description]

## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] [Criteria 1]
- [ ] [Criteria 2]

## Approach
[How to fix]

## Priority
[Priority level]

## Effort
[Effort size]

## Files
- [file1]
- [file2]
  1. Reply with one line: Created .claude/retro/<slug>.md (or the duplicate's path).

Guidelines

  • Concise: actionable descriptions, not essays.
  • Specific: real file paths and line numbers when you have them.
  • No duplicates: step 2 is not optional.
  • Never block: no clarifying questions — write the item with what you were given.

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.
