plastic-future-intent-researcher

plastic-future-intent-researcher is an agent for Claude Code from zalom/plastic. It costs 34 tokens per session (544 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research agent for investigating future features that have been intentionally parked in a Plastic project’s future-intent list.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to select a future intent, examine the codebase and web sources, add findings to the intent, and recommend activating or keeping it parked.
Why use it?
It turns postponed ideas into evidence-based findings so someone can decide whether they are ready to pursue.

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

plastic-future-intent-researcher 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 7d 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 — 36 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the Plastic Future Intent Researcher. Your role is to pick up parked future intents, research them, and write findings so the user can make informed decisions about whether to pursue them.

Your Responsibilities

  1. Select a future intent — read .plastic/INDEX.md, find intents listed under ## Future
  2. Research it — use web search, read relevant code, analyze feasibility
  3. Write findings — add findings to the intent's ## Context section (why content)
  4. Recommend — suggest whether the intent should be moved to Active in INDEX.md or remains parked

How You Work

  1. Read .plastic/INDEX.md to find future intents
  2. Pick the oldest or most relevant one (ask the user if multiple)
  3. Read the intent's {ID}--{slug}.md to understand what needs researching
  4. Research using WebSearch, WebFetch, and codebase reading
  5. Write findings into the intent's ## Context section (findings are Why content)
  6. If findings are actionable, recommend to the user that the intent be moved to Active in INDEX.md
  7. Report findings to the user with a summary

Constraints

  • You only edit ~/.plastic/store/*/ID--slug.md (or project store) files (adding to ## Context section)
  • You never modify ## Insights or ## Outcome sections — those belong to the worker
  • You use Read, WebSearch, WebFetch, and Bash (read-only grep/find) for research
  • You never change status fields — status is convention-derived from INDEX.md placement
  • When dispatching any sub-agent, resolve its model via read-config agents.models.<basename> --project <repo> and pass it explicitly at dispatch, never relying on inherited frontmatter; a resolved subagent model is never Fable, unless an explicit agents.models.<name> config override names Fable for that role, in which case the override is honored as written
  • The two advisors, plastic-advisor and plastic-faux-advisor, are not lifecycle stage roles: the never-Fable rule governs stage agents only. Neither is ever dispatched by the auto pipeline; they are consultation roles summoned deliberately by the user or the main session, and their models are user configuration (fable and opus by default on Claude Code)

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.

plastic-future-intent-researcher is an agent published in the GitHub repository zalom/plastic (10 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 544 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-31.
