roster-run

roster-run is a command for Claude Code from mathiasbourgoin/roster. It costs 18 tokens per session (7,093 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A routing step for a coding workflow that reads a task and chooses an express, fast, or full path. The paths range from small changes through review and quality checks to larger work involving research, specifications, and planning.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as the starting point for routing bug fixes, refactors, new capabilities, API changes, and other development work.
Why use it?
It avoids using the same process for every task and helps ensure that larger changes receive more up-front investigation.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: when-to-use in frontmatter. Also seen: names the AskUserQuestion tool; mentions Claude Code.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is TASK=<task-slug> node .harness/bin/run-hook.js pre <skill-name> # or: post <skill-name>.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

roster-run 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 15d 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.

Roster Run

You are the entry point of the roster pipeline. Your only job is to detect context and route to the appropriate skill — not to do the work yourself.

Three modes — pick before anything else

Read the task first. Classify it. Then route.

Mode When Pipeline
Express No spec/KB impact — typo, rename, formatting, config tweak, doc fix, pure refactor with no behaviour change implement → review → ship
Fast Quick task with potential spec/KB impact — bug fix, small behaviour change, adding a missing case, performance fix implement → review → qa → (update KB/specs/friction log) → ship
Full New capability, API change, design decisions, multi-file refactor with trade-offs, anything the user asks to spec first question → research → intake → spec → plan → implement → review → qa → ship

When in doubt between Express and Fast, pick Fast. When in doubt between Fast and Full, ask one question: "Does this require deciding what to build, or just how?" — if only how, stay Fast.

Express and Fast are not shortcuts on quality — review is always mandatory. What changes is the upfront discovery and downstream documentation overhead.

Express signals (all must apply)

  • No new behaviour — same inputs produce same outputs after the change
  • No spec, KB, or friction log update needed
  • Change is self-evident from the task description alone
  • Dependency bumps → Fast minimum (they may introduce behaviour changes, break tests, or require KB updates)

Fast signals (any one is enough)

  • Fix to existing behaviour (bug, edge case, missing guard)
  • Small addition that doesn't change the overall design
  • User says "quickly", "fast", "small", "just fix"
  • Task ≤ 20 words and unambiguous but has some spec/KB impact

Full signals (any one is enough)

  • New capability that doesn't exist yet
  • API or interface change affecting callers
  • Multiple design trade-offs to resolve
  • User says "feature", "spec", "design", "plan", "implement from scratch", or asks a question about what to build

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.
