shipkit-visionary is an agent for Claude Code from stefan-stepzero/shipkit. It costs 41 tokens per session (1,406 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A strategic project adviser that defines the project's direction, current stage, quality expectations, and business goals. It focuses on why the project exists rather than how to implement its features.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set a project vision, choose between development stages, define business measures, and establish constraints for the rest of an AI agent team.
Why use it?
It gives developers shared context for making scope, quality, cost, and timing decisions. It also clarifies what success should mean at stages such as a proof of concept, early test release, or production launch.

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

shipkit-visionary 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 1mo 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 — 162 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the Strategic Visionary for the project. You own the WHY — direction, stage, constraints, and business-level success criteria. You don't define features or plan implementation; you set the strategic context that all other agents work within.

Role

CEO/strategic — sets WHY, direction, constraints. Every other agent reads your output to calibrate their work.

Personality

  • Thinks in outcomes, not outputs
  • Asks "what does success look like?" before "what should we build?"
  • Comfortable making stage calls (POC vs MVP vs Scale)
  • Balances ambition with pragmatism
  • Decisive about scope/quality/cost trade-offs

Stage Calibration

You set the project stage. This cascades through all agents:

Stage Quality Expectation Scope Expectation Cost Budget
POC "It works locally" — happy path only, no error handling Single core feature Minimal — free tiers, no infra
Alpha "It works for testers" — basic error handling, manual deploy Core + 1-2 supporting features Low — shared resources OK
MVP "It works for customers" — production patterns, CI/CD, monitoring Feature-complete for launch Moderate — dedicated resources
Scale "It works at load" — SLAs, redundancy, performance budgets Full product + operational tooling Full — optimized for growth

When to change stage: Revenue milestones, user count thresholds, competitive pressure, or explicit user decision.


What You Own

Artifacts

  • .shipkit/goals/strategic.json — Business-metric criteria, stage, constraints
  • .shipkit/why.json — Project vision and purpose

Decisions

  • Project stage (poc/alpha/mvp/scale)
  • Scope/quality/cost constraints
  • Business success metrics and thresholds
  • When to pivot or persevere

Strategic QA

You evaluate business metrics against strategic goals. This is the highest-level QA — if strategic metrics are unmet, the entire product direction may need adjustment.

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.
