help

help is a command for Claude Code from krzysztofsurdy/code-virtuoso. It costs 16 tokens per session (479 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that explains the delivery loop, its supervised and unattended modes, and its available commands. The loop processes backlog items one at a time and marks an item complete only after its verification command succeeds and protected-file checks pass.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to learn the loop's workflow, completion rules, and commands before starting or operating it.
Why use it?
It gives developers a reference for how the automation decides whether work is complete. It also explains when to watch a run in the current session or run separate unattended processes.

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

help 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

loop-virtuoso

loop-virtuoso runs a deterministic, backlog-driven autonomous execution loop. It feeds an agent one small backlog item at a time. An item flips to verified only when a script runs its literal verifyCommand, that command exits 0, and a write-boundary guard confirms no protected file was touched - never on the agent's say-so.

Two modes

  • Mode A - session-supervised (/loop-virtuoso:start): runs inside your current Claude Code session via a Stop hook. Best for watching it work, stepping away briefly, and backlogs of roughly 5-15 items.
  • Mode B - unattended batch (scripts/run-batch.sh path/to/backlog.json): a fresh claude -p process per iteration, with a cumulative cost cap. Best for large backlogs and overnight/CI runs. It is intentionally not a slash command because it spawns long-running detached processes.

Commands

Command What it does
/loop-virtuoso:start [backlog] Start Mode A over the backlog (default .code-virtuoso/loop/backlog.json at the git root). Needs a clean working tree and refuses to run on the default branch.
/loop-virtuoso:status [backlog] Report counts, iteration, stall/violation counts, and the progress-log and events tails.
/loop-virtuoso:cancel Stop the loop and record a cancelled event; backlog state is preserved.
/loop-virtuoso:help Show this overview.

Getting a backlog

You need a .code-virtuoso/loop/backlog.json before starting. Use the backlog-compiler skill to convert a PRD, ticket, or freeform feature description into a loop-ready backlog - it sizes each item to a single context window, orders items by dependency, and writes a literal verifyCommand for each one.

For the full behavior - stop reasons, the write-boundary guard, and configuration - see the iteration-loop skill.

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.

help is a command published in the GitHub repository krzysztofsurdy/code-virtuoso (36 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 479 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-22.
