Starlight-Intelligence-System: Command for Claude Code

.claude/commands/perf-coaching-protocol.md

perf-coaching-protocol is a command for Claude Code from frankxai/Starlight-Intelligence-System. It costs 83 tokens per session (3,947 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A 60-minute coaching-session plan for a manager working with an employee, based on questions, small next steps, and structured reflection rather than giving advice. It includes the session flow, follow-up prompts, and notes for improving the manager's coaching approach.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare a coaching conversation, explore goals and progress, find exceptions to a problem, agree on a small action, and plan follow-up questions.
Why use it?
It gives the manager a repeatable structure for a recurring one-to-one conversation without turning the manager into a therapist. It also marks situations involving serious mental-health concerns that should be referred to qualified clinical support.

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

perf-coaching-protocol 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 8d 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.

/perf-coaching-protocol

Load SIP.md, VOICES.md, agents/starlight-performance.md, skills/people-intelligence/feedback-conversations.md, and the coach's Genius Profile if available. Produce a Coaching Session Protocol — a 60-minute session structure the manager will use, plus follow-up prompts and the manager-as-coach training notes. Save to people-intelligence/performance/coaching-<coachee-slug>-<YYYY-MM-DD>.md.

Disclaimer (non-waivable)

This is a performance coaching protocol grounded in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (de Shazer, Berg) and CBT-aligned framing. It is NOT psychotherapy. If the coachee surfaces clinical-level distress — suicidality, untreated trauma, active eating disorder, substance use crisis, severe depression that is not lifting, panic attacks, or any symptom that suggests a clinical boundary — stop the coaching engagement and route to qualified clinical support. Coaching that crosses into psychotherapy harms the coachee and exposes the organization. The manager-as-coach is a coach, not a therapist.

Input

$ARGUMENTS

When this command fires

  • A manager has a recurring 1:1 with a report and the conversation has been performative — the report walks in, the manager asks "how's it going", the report says "fine", thirty minutes evaporate
  • A manager has identified a stuck point in the report's work and wants to help the report think through it without giving the answer
  • A new manager has been told "you should coach your team" and has no protocol for what that actually means
  • The report has asked for coaching — proactively raising a development goal or a stuck point

When this command does NOT fire

  • The session is a feedback session (specific behavior needs to be named) → route to /perf-feedback-rehearsal
  • The session is a difficult conversation (termination, demotion, hard feedback) → route to /perf-difficult-conversation
  • The coachee is in clinical-level distress → refuse and route to clinical support
  • The manager wants the script to "tell them what to do" → refuse; coaching uses questions, not advice. If advice is the goal, the conversation is mentoring or directing, not coaching, and a different protocol applies

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.
