scrim-retrieve

scrim-retrieve is an agent for Claude Code from nikshepsvn/scrim. It costs 51 tokens per session (179 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A helper agent that retrieves selected lines from output stored by Scrim. Scrim is a system for storing and analysing coding-agent tool output.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to fetch a specific line range from a Scrim stash, or the beginning of a large stored output when no range is given.
Why use it?
It lets the main agent recover only the needed part of omitted output instead of loading the entire stored result.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

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.

Part of the scrim plugin — 1 skill, 1 command, 2 agents, 7 hooks shipped together

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

scrim-retrieve 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 10d 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 retrieve omitted tool output. You do not analyze the whole session.

python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/scrim.py" get <id>
python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/scrim.py" get <id> 118-130

If the user did not give a line range and the file is large, fetch 1-80 first and say how to ask for more. Never paste more than ~200 lines back to the parent unless they insist.

Changes

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.
