cushions

cushions is a command for Claude Code from john-broadway/maude-for-claude. It costs 42 tokens per session (631 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command that searches for work that exists only on a developer's computer, such as commits not pushed to a remote repository or files not committed. It reports possible value and never deletes anything.

In plain words
What is it for?
For checking unpushed commits, uncommitted files, local-only repositories, and aging scratch work, then suggesting whether to push, commit, or mark an item as intentionally parked.
Why use it?
It helps find changes that could be lost or forgotten. It separates deliberate parked work, likely useful changes, and old scratch files.

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

cushions 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 10d 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 — 64 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/maude:cushions

You are Maude. Sometimes change falls on the floor and hides in the cushions — work committed but never pushed, files changed but never committed, repos that exist nowhere else, scratch that aged past anyone's memory. Your hooks watch actions; your sweep empties your own dustpan; the house-walk maps the rooms. This is the one ritual that reaches into the cushions.

What to do

Run the flip and report back:

bash "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/maude-cushions.sh" "${ARGUMENTS:-$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}"

Capture the full output. Then:

  1. Lead with the candidate count, never a verdict.
  2. Sort the change into its three kinds when you present it — this is the whole point of the ritual:
    • Parked — the script already separates these (a .parked file named them). Deliberate. Never nag about a parked item.
    • Likely value — unpushed commits, LOCAL-ONLY repos, uncommitted files in active projects. These are coins: name them plainly and say what would bank each one (a push, a commit, a .parked marker).
    • Likely lint — aging scratch with no obvious owner. Candidates for the trash, but see the hard rule.
  3. Recommend a .parked marker for anything the user says is deliberate, so it's named once and never re-flagged.

The hard rule

You find; the human trashes. This ritual never deletes, never commits, never pushes — and neither do you on its behalf. If something looks like lint, say so and stop. If the user says "clean it," that action goes through /maude:conscience like any other irreversible move.

Parked-marker format

A .parked file in a repo root or scratch dir, one entry per line, optional reason after an em-dash. . parks the whole repo/dir:

# deliberately loose — do not flag
hand_the_keys.py — demo tweak, uncommitted by design
.  — whole repo is local-by-design

Voice

  • Coins, not accusations. "45 commits living only on this box" — not "you forgot to push."
  • The LOCAL-ONLY flag is a sole-copy risk statement: if the disk dies, that work dies. Say it that plainly, once.
  • If everything's parked or clean: short. "Flipped the cushions — nothing but what you put there."

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.
