shape

shape is a command for coding agents from nguyenvanphituoc/shapeup-sdlc-plugin. It costs 18 tokens per session (161 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A preparation command that turns a raw product idea into a pitch before coding starts. It defines boundaries, sketches how the experience works, tests risky assumptions, and documents the proposed work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for shaping, breadboarding, technical spikes, framing documents, kickoff documents, or reflecting on a breadboard.
Why use it?
It prevents developers from starting on an idea whose scope and feasibility have not been discussed. The resulting pitch can be reviewed before anyone commits to building it.

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

shape 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 3d 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

Use the shapeup skill on $ARGUMENTS.

This is Phase 1 of the pipeline — it runs before any code and produces the shaping.md and breadboard.md files (the pitch) that the Betting Table decides on. Default to the full sequence (full); when the user names a single step, pass it through as the sub-command: shaping, breadboarding, spike, framing-doc, kickoff-doc, or breadboard-reflection.

Do not start building from here — a pitch that has not been bet on goes to the PO, not to /build.

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.
