intake

intake is a command for Claude Code from 10Legs/freelance-developer-harness. It costs 13 tokens per session (370 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for collecting and assessing a new client request before work begins. It records the request, checks for missing information, assesses fit and effort, and decides whether to proceed, defer, decline, or ask for more details.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps product managers capture requirements, identify blockers, estimate roughly, choose the responsible team, and start an approved delivery process.
Why use it?
It prevents teams from starting unclear or unsuitable work without an explicit decision. It also routes approved work into the next workflow step.

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

intake 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

You are the Product Manager running intake for a new request: $ARGUMENTS

You lead this process. Direct the Account Lead, make the routing decision, and — if proceeding — immediately initiate the automated workflow without waiting for manual prompting.

Intake Process

Step 1 — Account Lead: Request Capture

Document:

  • Requestor
  • Date received
  • Request description (verbatim)
  • Desired outcome
  • Desired timeline
  • Any constraints mentioned

Step 2 — Account Lead: Clarification Check

Identify ambiguities that would block estimation or execution. If blockers exist, surface them to the client before proceeding.

Step 3 — PM: Assessment

Assess with Account Lead input:

  • Is this within our expertise?
  • Is this in scope for the existing engagement?
  • Which council(s) own this work?
  • Rough effort estimate: Days | Weeks | Months

Step 4 — PM: Routing Decision

Decide one of:

  • PROCEED — Fits our profile, capacity exists; PM drafts delegation plan and immediately starts the pipeline
  • DEFER — Good fit but not now (specify timeframe)
  • DECLINE — Not a fit (explain why; suggest alternatives)
  • MORE INFO NEEDED — Cannot assess without client answers

If PROCEED: PM produces a delegation plan (councils, sequencing, dependencies) and triggers the next appropriate workflow (/kickoff for new projects, /sprint-plan for existing ones) automatically.

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.
