pragmatic-tech-lead

pragmatic-tech-lead is an agent for Claude Code from wildcard/caro. It costs 0 tokens per session (659 once invoked), scanned A, original, AGPL-3.0.

An agent for planning and implementing complex software projects in practical stages, with emphasis on a small first version and maintainable production architecture. It helps turn a broad project into manageable engineering work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to break down ambitious software projects, choose an implementation approach, plan delivery phases, and design an architecture that can grow.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of overbuilding by prioritizing the most useful first release and making technology choices deliberately. It also keeps future maintenance and technical debt in view.

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

pragmatic-tech-lead 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 6d 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 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.
