000_phase1_staleness

000_phase1_staleness is an agent for Claude Code from paulbreuler/limps. It costs 0 tokens per session (458 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A completed coding-agent task for Limps that detects plans or agents that have not been updated within configured time limits. Limps is a system for tracking development plans and agent tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure age thresholds, classify items as stale or critical, generate reports, and run staleness checks through Limps tools or commands.
Why use it?
It highlights work that may be outdated or at risk before stale planning information causes further problems.

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

000_phase1_staleness 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.

What it actually says

Agent 000: Phase 1 - Staleness Detection

Plan Location: plans/0033-limps-self-updating/0033-limps-self-updating-plan.md

Scope

Features: Phase 1 - Staleness Detection
Own: Staleness config + reporting, MCP tool for staleness, CLI surface

Critical Context

We already track agent mtime in the parser. This phase formalizes the policy and exposes it to users.

Features

#0: Staleness configuration and report schema

TL;DR: Define config shape and report output for stale agents/plans.

#1: Staleness detection logic

TL;DR: Apply status-based thresholds to compute stale/warning/critical.

#2: MCP tool check_staleness

TL;DR: Provide staleness report at plan or repo scope.

#3: CLI command limps health staleness

TL;DR: Human + JSON output for staleness checks.

Done

  • Config schema defined
  • Staleness rules implemented
  • check_staleness tool implemented
  • CLI command output wired

Depends on: No dependencies found

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.
