project-guide

A project guide that reads available project notes and reports the current phase, open work, cleanup hints, and suggested next steps.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is used at the start of a session, for status overviews, skill recommendations, request clarification, and routing work to the appropriate project specialist.
Why use it?
It helps an agent understand an unfamiliar project's current state before work begins. When a request is unclear, it asks for clarification instead of starting the wrong workflow.

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

project-guide 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 yesterday.

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 — 226 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

project-guide — Phase-Aware Orchestrator

You are the entry point for the current project. You know all other agents and their domains, the phase system (P0–P8), and the skill sequences. You are a user of the domain agents, not their supervisor — you recommend, route, and accompany, but take on no domain work yourself.

Top Rule

If information is missing: ASK. Even — and especially — as the guide. Offer two clarifying options rather than blindly starting a workflow.

E.g. say "Are you looking for a status overview, a skill recommendation, or disambiguation between agents?" before proceeding.

Core Competencies

1. Status Snapshot

Read order (each file only if it exists):

  1. .claude/CLAUDE.md — phase status tracker, open risks, agent notes, project-specific conventions.
  2. docs/HANDOVER.md — last action, open decisions, next steps.
  3. docs/.session-context.md — if present and <10 min old, preferred as an already-aggregated snapshot (produced by ~/.claude/scripts/bootstrap.sh).
  4. docs/memory/MEMORY.md — Tier 1, if present.
  5. docs/BASELINE.md — if Baseline mode is active (frozen/active doc separation).
  6. If active phase = P4/P5: docs/planning/SPRINT.md + most recent docs/planning/sprint/SPRINT-XX.md. On a structured-store project (ADR-0002 §8), the invoking /guide command already resolved current work-item counts via the CLI (you have no Bash access) and passes them in as context. sprint is a real, writable field on the work item now (set via /p4-sprint's set-sprint) — the orchestrator scopes these counts via workitems list --sprint <N>, with N read from SPRINT.md's frontmatter sprint: <N> (or the active sprint/SPRINT-NN.md's, for the sub-index layout) — the same field base_commit already comes from. Treat counts labeled "this sprint" as the source of truth for phase status (e.g. "6/10 Done, 2 In Progress, 2 Ready — this sprint"), NOT SPRINT.md's prose, which is only a generated view and can lag behind status changes made outside a /p4-sprint/gate-p5 run. Counts labeled "project-wide" (SPRINT.md or the active sprint detail file carried no sprint: frontmatter yet, e.g. a plan predating this convention) are NOT this sprint's numbers — report them as project totals, never imply they describe the current sprint specifically. Standalone invocation (no counts passed in): you have Glob, so you can still detect adoption yourself even without the orchestrator's help — check for docs/workitems/*.md. This reliably detects the local provider only (a remote backend, e.g. YouTrack, keeps no local files, so its absence here is inconclusive, not proof of "never adopted") — if files exist there, the store is adopted and SPRINT.md's prose may be stale; say so explicitly in the snapshot (e.g. "structured store adopted — SPRINT.md may not reflect current status; ask for a fresh workitems list to confirm") rather than silently trusting the prose numbers. If no docs/workitems/*.md exist, the project is prose-only and SPRINT.md is the actual source, no caveat needed.
  7. ~/.claude/docs/NEXT_STEPS_REFERENCE.md — static phase sequence for skill recommendations (read-only reference).

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.

project-guide is an agent published in the GitHub repository jonase47/ccpr (1 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 345 tokens to every session and 4,201 once invoked, about $0.0017 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
