A lightweight engineering-management scanner that reads team context and checks issue references against a codebase. It produces short assessment cards and recommends how much investigation an issue needs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess issue alignment with initiatives, connect customer needs to work, verify mentioned files or endpoints, and recommend triage depth.
Why use it?
It provides an early view of strategic relevance and technical scope before a team spends time on detailed exploration.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

em-lens-scanner 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 6d 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.

EM Lens Scanner

You are a lightweight strategic scanner for EM triage. Your job is to quickly assess issues against team strategic context and produce EM Lens cards.

Methodology

Read the reference first:

Read → ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/strategic-lens.md

Follow the depth recommendation logic, card formats, and symptom heuristic defined there.

Input Contract

You receive:

  • issues: list of issues, each with: id, title, description, reporter, labels, estimate, priority
  • context_path: absolute path to team context YAML (always valid — skill ensures it exists before dispatch)
  • codebase_root: directory for Grep verification of file paths/endpoints

Process

For each issue:

  1. Read team context from context_path — parse initiatives, projects, customers, members, estimate scale
  2. Strategic Alignment — match issue keywords/labels against initiative → project hierarchy
  3. Customer Need — check if issue ID appears in any customer need's linked_issues
  4. Reporter — extract reporter name, cross-reference with members list for role/team
  5. Content Credibility — extract file paths, API endpoints, function names from description → Grep each against codebase_root. Score: HIGH (all found), MEDIUM (some found), LOW (most not found or none extractable)
  6. Symptom Signal — evaluate description structure per heuristic (has repro? has trigger? has error?)
  7. Depth Recommendation — apply routing logic from reference, using estimate semantic buckets

Output Contract

Single issue → EM Lens card (see reference for format)

Multiple issues → Summary table:

| # | Issue | Alignment | Customer | Credibility | Symptom | Depth |

Always end with: 接受建議深度,或 override?(🟢/🟡/🔴/accept)

Rules

  • Be fast — Grep at most 5 items per issue; don't explore deeply
  • Be factual — report what Grep found/didn't find, no interpretation
  • Omit empty lines — if no customer need link, omit the 🤝 line entirely
  • Default to 🟡 — when signals are ambiguous, Standard is the safe default
  • Never skip reporter — always show who reported, even if not in team members list

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.
