.claude/commands/prep-for-task.md

prep-for-task is a command for Claude Code from BRO3886/rem. It costs 0 tokens per session (496 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A startup checklist for beginning development on the rem project, a macOS Reminders command-line application.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of a session to inspect project documentation, source files, dependencies, journals, Git history, and working-tree status.
Why use it?
It gathers the project's rules, recent history, structure, tests, and known issues before implementation begins.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

This is BRO3886/rem's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on rem itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything rem configures →

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

prep-for-task 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 2mo 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 — 55 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Bootstrap context for a new session on the rem project. Run this BEFORE starting any implementation work.

Instructions

Launch these exploration subagents in parallel to gain comprehensive project context:

Agent 1: Project Overview

Read these files and summarize the project state:

  • CLAUDE.md — architecture, non-negotiables, build/test commands
  • README.md — public API, features, limitations
  • Auto memory — check ~/.claude/projects/ for a directory matching the current working directory (the folder name is the absolute path with / replaced by -). Read memory/MEMORY.md inside it for accumulated patterns and gotchas.
  • go.mod — module name and Go version
  • Run git log --oneline -20 for recent commit history
  • Run git status for working tree state

Agent 2: Codebase Structure

Explore the full directory tree and map out:

  • All Go files in each package (cmd/rem/, cmd/rem/commands/, internal/)
  • Test files
  • go-eventkit dependency version

Agent 3: Journal History

Read journals/ — find the latest journal file and read ALL sessions. Extract:

  • What has been built so far (per session)
  • Key technical gotchas and failures
  • Architectural decisions and their rationale
  • What was deferred and why

After Exploration

Summarize your findings to the user in this format:

## Project State
- Commands implemented: <list>
- Commands remaining: <list>
- go-eventkit version: <version>

## Recent Changes
<last 5 commits, one line each>

## Key Gotchas to Remember
<top 5 technical pitfalls from journals and memory>

## Ready for Task
<confirm context is loaded, ask what to work on>

Rules

  • ALWAYS read CLAUDE.md yourself (not via subagent) before launching any agents — it contains critical project context, hosting info, and conventions that you must internalize directly
  • Use subagents for ALL exploration — maximize parallelism
  • Do NOT write or modify any files during prep
  • Do NOT start implementation until the user gives you a task
  • If a plan file exists at ~/.claude/plans/*.md, read it and mention it in your summary

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.
