claude-code-basecamp: Command for Claude Code

.claude/commands/focus.md

focus is a command for Claude Code from Benkapner/claude-code-basecamp. It costs 23 tokens per session (673 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for choosing which Git repositories—a version-controlled project’s folders—to work on during a session. It shows each repository’s current branch and whether it has uncommitted changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to switch between projects, select several repositories, or focus on all available repositories except specific ones.
Why use it?
It replaces the previous repository selection so the agent does not accidentally inspect or modify the wrong project. The status details help the user see which work may already be in progress.

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

focus 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.

Focus Command

Switch repository focus mid-session.

Instructions

Step 1: Scan Available Repositories

# List all git repos in repositories/
for dir in repositories/*/; do
  if [ -d "$dir/.git" ]; then
    name=$(basename "$dir")
    branch=$(git -C "$dir" rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD 2>/dev/null || echo "unknown")
    status=$(git -C "$dir" status --porcelain 2>/dev/null)
    if [ -n "$status" ]; then
      count=$(echo "$status" | wc -l | tr -d ' ')
      hint="$branch, $count uncommitted"
    else
      hint="$branch, clean"
    fi
    printf "  %s. %-30s (%s)\n" "$i" "$name" "$hint"
  fi
done

Step 2: Present the Menu

Show the numbered list:

REPOSITORY FOCUS
================
  1. my-project                   (main, clean)
  2. backend-api                  (feature/add-retry, 3 uncommitted)
  3. frontend-app                 (main, clean)

Which repo(s)? (e.g. 1, 1-3, all, all except 2)

If there is a current focus, mark it:

  2. backend-api                  (feature/add-retry, 3 uncommitted)  [current]

Step 3: Apply Selection

The user's response completely replaces the previous focus. Parse their selection:

  • 2 → single repo
  • 1 3 → multiple repos by number
  • 1-3 → range
  • all → all repos
  • all except 2 → all minus specific ones
  • Repo names also work: backend-api

Step 4: Confirm

Focused on: backend-api, frontend-app

Then continue working. Apply the same focus constraint: only read/modify files in the selected repo(s) unless the user explicitly asks otherwise.

Step 5: Update tmux Window Name

If running inside tmux, rename the current window to reflect the focused repo(s):

# Only if inside a tmux session
if [ -n "$TMUX" ]; then
  # Single repo: use repo name
  # Multiple repos: "first-repo+N" where N is the count of additional repos
  tmux rename-window "WINDOW_NAME"
fi

Examples:

  • 1 repo selected → tmux rename-window "backend-api"
  • 3 repos selected → tmux rename-window "backend-api+2"

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.
