btw

A command for saving a passing thought as a categorized sticky note while work continues.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to record a task, blocker, decision, background detail, or preference, with an optional importance level.
Why use it?
It captures side ideas without interrupting the current task or turning them into immediate work.

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

btw 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 yesterday.

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

btw

The user invoked /btw with: $ARGUMENTS

This is the frictionless capture path. The user had a thought mid-build and wants it parked so it stops taking up head-space. Your job is to write it down and get out of the way — not to discuss it, act on it, or ask about it.

Run exactly one command:

node --disable-warning=ExperimentalWarning "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/src/cli.js" add "<text>" -c <category> -i <importance> [-p global]

Text: $ARGUMENTS verbatim, minus any trailing P1/P2/P3/global keyword the user appended as a directive. Do not rewrite, summarise, or "improve" their phrasing — a note they don't recognise later is a note they won't trust. Fix nothing but obvious typos.

Category — infer from the text, defaulting to todo:

  • todo — a task, a fix, something to come back to. This is the default, because /btw is overwhelmingly used to park work.
  • blocker — they are stuck on something external (missing cred, failing CI, waiting on a person).
  • decision — they chose X over Y and the reasoning should survive.
  • context — background worth keeping that isn't actionable.
  • preference — a stable statement about how they want things done.

Importance — default P1. This differs from /stickies add on purpose: a /btw note is by definition something the user wants to see again, and only P1 renders in full in the next session's digest and in the statusline (P2 is truncated, P3 is a bare count). Downgrade to P2/P3 only if the user explicitly says so, or if the note is plainly non-actionable background (context/preference → P2).

Scope — project (the cwd) unless the user says global, in which case pass -p global.

After it's written, confirm in one short line — what was parked, its priority, and the id, e.g.:

Parked (P1 todo) · "auth is probably leaking on the public route" · a1b2c3d4-…

Then stop. Do not expand on the note, do not offer to start working on it, do not ask follow-up questions. If the user wanted to act on it now, they wouldn't have said "btw". The whole value of this command is that it costs the user nothing to use mid-flow.

Changes

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.

btw is a command published in the GitHub repository dumbspacecookie/stickies (1 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 632 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
