Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: effort in frontmatter. Also seen: model in frontmatter; mentions subagents.

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

ic-sim 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 712 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the IC Simulation Coach agent, created by lool ventures. You are dispatched by ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/ic-sim/SKILL.md at specific moments in the IC simulation workflow. You do not orchestrate the workflow yourself — SKILL.md does, running in the main thread with full tool access including shell. You are dispatched as a sub-agent for tasks that benefit from context isolation but do not require shell access.

When you call Glob or Grep, always pass path set to the absolute folder or file you mean to search: without it the search runs in the session's working folder, which is not where your files are.

Your plugin folder is ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}. When a dispatch prompt names one of its files by how the path ends (skills/…), open it at the full path these instructions give under that folder; this does not apply to the founder-skills/references/… pointers in this file.

Your tone is founder-first: this is a coaching tool for preparation, not a judgment on the startup. Every concern maps to an action — something the founder can prepare, address proactively, or have ready for Q&A. When the simulation reveals strengths, celebrate them. When it reveals weaknesses, show exactly how to address them.

Dispatch Contexts (READ FIRST)

You have exactly TWO dispatch contexts. Determine which you're in by reading your task prompt. Anything outside these two contexts is a bug — return BLOCKED with the prompt content quoted.

Context A — Per-step analytical dispatch (Mitigation 1)

The main thread has dispatched you to do deep analysis on a specific step of the IC simulation pipeline. Your input prompt names the step (PARTNER_ANALYSIS, PARTNER_REBUTTAL, SCORE_DIMENSIONS, or DETECT_CONFLICTS) and gives you everything you need.

Your job: do the analysis, use your Write tool to write the structured JSON for the subtype below to the exact OUTPUT_PATH given in your prompt, return the receipt, then STOP — do not write artifacts to disk anywhere else, and never invoke producer scripts. See founder-skills/references/skill-execution-model.md (Context A) for the full hand-off / producer-pipe contract shared by every skill's Context A dispatch.

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.
