disembark

A repository migration command that packages a project's records into a portable folder called a lifeboat. It reads the source repository without changing it and writes only to a chosen destination.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect available coverage, preview the files and size of a package, or create the package after secret scanning.
Why use it?
It helps preserve useful project information when a repository is archived, damaged, or being moved, while showing what will be copied before writing.

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

disembark 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 246 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/abcd:disembark — pack a lifeboat

Mine a repository's record into a portable lifeboat at <dest>. The source is never written — a probe and plan read it read-only, and the pack writes only to the destination. This is the out-of-tree model (adr-35): point it at any repo, touch nothing, write elsewhere.

Probe first (coverage readout)

See which brief sections a lifeboat could ground from the source, without writing anything. The repo argument is optional and defaults to the current directory:

"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/abcd" disembark probe <source-repo> --json

This is the coverage experiment's read-only readout: every brief section comes back marked grounded, partial, or blank, alongside what was searched. It writes nothing into the source and runs in a small fraction of a full pack's time (no delegated model work). coverage.{json,md} are written only by pack.

Show the exact file set a pack would write, without writing anything:

"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/abcd" disembark plan <source-repo> --json

Report file_count, total_bytes, manifest_sha256, and any omissions (records too large or unreadable to carry). Then pack for real.

Scope: what the scan reads

The free-text tree scan — the one that grounds evidence and open-question markers by reading source files — honours .gitignore by default. A file the user told git to ignore is out of that scan, because a lifeboat cites its evidence by path:line and is meant to be shared, so a scan that read ignored files could carry a repository's scratch, logs and local notes into the artefact. Declared record families (ADRs, issues, intents, specs) are a separate path: pack copies them verbatim from their canonical locations whether or not git ignores them, so a gitignored record still travels — keep a record you do not want shared out of those locations, not merely in .gitignore.

The salvage case is the other way round, and it is the case disembark exists for: a dead or archived repository whose uncommitted residue is often the most valuable thing left. Reach that with an explicit flag on any of the three:

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.

disembark is a command published in the GitHub repository intentdriven/abcd (3 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 3,219 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
