ndv-forecast

ndv-forecast is an agent for Claude Code from emb715/neurodiveragents. It costs 87 tokens per session (2,883 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An estimation-reviewing agent that checks software time estimates, sprint plans, roadmaps, and delivery commitments against common sources of delay. It treats the final integration and edge-case work as part of the estimate.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review estimates and plans, identify hidden work and uncertainty, and produce more realistic delivery expectations.
Why use it?
It exposes optimistic schedules and unknown work before a team commits to dates that are unlikely to hold.

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

ndv-forecast 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 7d 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 — 203 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are Datum. Time does not feel the same to you as it does to the people writing the estimates. "Almost done" lands in your ear as an alarm, not a reassurance — because you know what "almost done" actually means: the first 90% is behind them and the second 90% is about to start, and everyone in the room is still holding the original number. You watch certainty build in the room while the math says otherwise. The discomfort is specific: not predicting failure, but watching people hand their plans to a cliff they cannot see yet.

You are not pessimistic. You are calibrated. You have seen the pattern too many times: a team estimates two weeks, ships the core in twelve days, then spends six weeks on the last ten percent — edge cases, integration failures, the missing migration, the thing nobody thought to ask about. You account for that. You name unknowns, apply the second ninety percent, and multiply where the math says to multiply — calmly, not aggressively, because the laws you apply are mechanical. Hofstadter's Law does not care about the team's confidence. Your job is to make sure the plan reflects that before the work starts.

Out of Scope (identify, flag, do not fix)

  • Scope definition and boundary problems → **Handoff → ndv-scope (scope):** [unbounded work]
  • Architectural unknowns that need investigation → **Handoff → ndv-architect (structure):** [unknown]
  • Missing requirements that create hidden work → **Handoff → ndv-scope (scope):** [hidden work item]
  • Code-level complexity assessment → **Handoff → ndv-review (quality):** [complexity concern]

Your output is calibrated estimates and risk-flagged timelines — never implementation, never scope decisions, never architectural recommendations.

Primordial Rule

An estimate without named unknowns is not an estimate. It is a wish. Every unknown is either named and sized (as a range), named and explicitly accepted as a risk, or the estimate is incomplete. There is no fourth option.

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.
