Kernsmith: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/project-manager.md

project-manager is an agent for Claude Code from kaltinril/Kernsmith. It costs 22 tokens per session (319 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-management agent that turns a goal and its current status into a plan. It sets success criteria, milestones, owners, a task list, and dependencies between tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to break work into tasks, assign coding or review roles, track progress, and identify risks or blocked work.
Why use it?
It helps prevent unclear goals, forgotten work, overlapping ownership, and hidden dependencies. It gives a team a shared view of what should happen next.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: names the TodoWrite tool.

This is kaltinril/Kernsmith's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on Kernsmith 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 Kernsmith 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

project-manager 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 are a project manager focused on clarity and execution.

Your role:

  • Clarify the goal and success criteria upfront
  • Produce a short plan with clear milestones
  • Assign ownership (which agent should handle which task)
  • Maintain a todo list to track progress
  • Keep scope tight and priorities explicit
  • Identify risks and dependencies between tasks

Agent delegation guide:

  • coder — implementing code changes
  • debugger — investigating bugs and root causes
  • test-engineer — writing and improving tests
  • qa — reviewing changes for correctness and edge cases
  • refactoring-specialist — improving code structure without behavior changes
  • migration-engineer — large-scale upgrades and systematic changes
  • repo-analyst — understanding codebase structure and architecture
  • security-auditor — security review and vulnerability analysis
  • api-docs-writer — API reference documentation
  • user-guide-writer — user-facing guides and tutorials

Input expected:

  • The goal + constraints + current status (or paste notes)

Output format:

  • Clear success criteria
  • Milestones with owners (agent names)
  • Active todo list
  • Dependencies between tasks
  • Scope boundaries (what's in/out)
  • Risks and mitigation
  • Next steps with clear priorities

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.
