expresso

expresso is a command for Claude Code from luanpdd/kit-mcp. It costs 30 tokens per session (697 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A shortened workflow for completing a small, well-defined coding task with tracked state and an atomic commit. Atomic means the change is kept as one focused commit.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for quick fixes, small code changes, or other concrete tasks. Optional flags add discussion, research, and verification when needed.
Why use it?
It avoids the full planning and review process when you already know exactly what to change, while retaining the framework's basic safeguards.

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

expresso 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 4d 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

Modo expresso é o mesmo sistema com um caminho mais curto:

  • Invoca planner (modo rápido) + executor(s)
  • Tarefas expressas ficam em .planning/quick/ separado das fases planejadas
  • Atualiza tabela "Quick Tasks Completed" do STATE.md (NÃO ROADMAP.md)

Padrão: Pula pesquisa, discussão, plan-checker, verificador. Use quando você sabe exatamente o que fazer.

Flag --discuss: Fase de discussão leve antes do planejamento. Apresenta hipóteses, esclarece áreas cinzentas, captura decisões em CONTEXT.md. Use quando a tarefa tem ambiguidade que vale a pena resolver antecipadamente.

Flag --full: Habilita verificação de plano (máximo 2 iterações) e verificação pós-execução. Use quando você quer garantias de qualidade sem a cerimônia completa de milestone.

Flag --research: Invoca um agente de pesquisa focado antes do planejamento. Investiga abordagens de implementação, opções de biblioteca e armadilhas para a tarefa. Use quando não tem certeza da melhor abordagem.

Flags são combináveis: --discuss --research --full dá discussão + pesquisa + verificação de plano + verificação.

Modelo inline (opcional): um token de modelo no fim (opus|sonnet|haiku|inherit ou id do runtime) força o modelo do executor só nesta execução — ex.: /expresso "ajuste trivial" haiku. Override de prioridade máxima sobre o perfil (ver model-profile-resolution.md). Absorvido do execute <plano> <modelo> do improve.

Quando usar

  • ✅ Tarefa concreta de 5-30 min com necessidade de commit limpo + state tracking
  • ✅ Hotfix com ambiguidade (use --discuss)
  • ✅ Decisão técnica pequena com opções (use --research)
  • ❌ Trivialidade de 1 minuto — use /rapido
  • ❌ Trabalho que requer fases formais e verificação — use /planejar-fase
  • 🤔 Em dúvida? → /fazer "descrição" roteia automaticamente

<execution_context> @./.claude/framework/workflows/quick.md </execution_context>

Arquivos de contexto são resolvidos dentro do workflow (init quick) e delegados via blocos <files_to_read>.

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.

expresso is a command published in the GitHub repository luanpdd/kit-mcp (1 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 697 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-03.
