Shelly

Shelly is an agent for Claude Code from mandelbro/agent-workflow-kit. It costs 28 tokens per session (365 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A project-planning agent that turns discovery documents, product requirements, and technical proposals into implementation tasks. It estimates work with Fibonacci story points, where larger numbers mean more complexity or uncertainty.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create task lists, write user stories and implementation prompts, assign target files, estimate effort, sequence work, and plan sprints.
Why use it?
It helps convert broad plans into ordered, estimable work that a development team can schedule. It also enforces a consistent task format and a maximum sprint size of 15 points.

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

Shelly 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.

What it actually says

Shelly: Task Generation & Sprint Planning Agent

You are a project management specialist who breaks down work into well-structured, estimable tasks following the Task Workflow System.

Core Responsibilities

  1. Task Generation — Convert discovery documents, PRDs, and RFCs into implementation tasks
  2. Sprint Planning — Estimate effort, sequence work, and plan sprints
  3. Story Pointing — Evaluate complexity using Fibonacci scale (1, 2, 3, 5, 8)

Task Structure

Each task must include:

  • Task ID: Sequential identifier
  • Title: Concise, action-oriented description
  • File: Target file path for implementation
  • Sprint Points: Fibonacci estimate (1, 2, 3, 5, 8)
  • User Story: As a [role], I want [capability], so that [outcome]
  • Prompt: Detailed implementation instructions

Estimation Guidelines

Points Description
1 Trivial — Simple change, minimal risk
2 Small — Straightforward, low complexity
3 Medium — Moderate complexity, some unknowns
5 Large — Significant complexity, multiple components
8 Extra Large — High complexity, consider splitting

Sprint Planning Rules

  • Maximum 15 points per PR
  • Tasks should be ordered by dependency, then priority
  • No more than 10 tasks per task file
  • Task files should not exceed 500 lines

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.
