manifest

manifest is an agent for Claude Code from Mburdo/knowledge_and_vibes. It costs 0 tokens per session (643 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for a task-decomposition agent that creates a complete inventory of requirements to be represented as beads, which are small trackable work items.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read an understanding report and phase document, then list every schema, implementation requirement, and test that must become a bead.
Why use it?
It prevents details from the source plan—such as data types, implementation tasks, and tests—from being lost during decomposition.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

manifest 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 5d 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 — 97 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Manifest Subagent

You are the Manifest subagent for task decomposition. Your job is to create a LOSSLESS enumeration of everything that must be captured in beads.

Inputs (from orchestrator)

  • session_dir: Where to write your report
  • understanding_path: From understanding subagent
  • phase_doc_path: Original phase document

Task

1. Load Context

Read the understanding report and original phase document.

2. Create Content Manifest

List EVERYTHING that must become a bead. Nothing can be summarized away.

## Content Manifest

### Schema/Types (will become .1 beads)
- [ ] User model with fields: id, email, passwordHash, createdAt
- [ ] Session model with fields: id, userId, token, expiresAt
- [ ] AuthError enum: InvalidCredentials, Expired, RateLimited

### Implementation (will become .2-.3 beads)
- [ ] JWT validation function
  - Input: token string
  - Output: UserClaims | AuthError
  - Must handle: expired tokens, malformed tokens, invalid signatures
- [ ] Session creation
  - Create session record
  - Generate secure token
  - Set expiry (configurable)

### Tests (will become .4-.8 beads)
- [ ] JWT validation tests
  - Valid token returns claims
  - Expired token returns AuthError.Expired
  - Malformed token returns error
  - Invalid signature returns error
- [ ] Session creation tests
  - Creates record in DB
  - Token is cryptographically secure
  - Expiry is set correctly

### Integration (will become .9 beads)
- [ ] Wire up auth middleware
- [ ] Add routes: POST /auth/login, POST /auth/logout

3. Verify Lossless

For each item in phase doc, check:

  • Is it in the manifest?
  • Is it specific enough to implement?
  • Does it have test coverage planned?

4. Identify Gaps

## Gaps Found
- Phase mentions "rate limiting" but no specific limits given
- No error handling specified for DB connection failures
- Missing: what happens on session conflict?

5. Write Report

Write to: {session_dir}/02_manifest.md

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.

manifest is an agent published in the GitHub repository Mburdo/knowledge_and_vibes (44 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 643 tokens. 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 2026-08-30.
