fdf-convert-effective-instructions

fdf-convert-effective-instructions is a command for Claude Code from QuasarByte/feature-driven-flow-claude. It costs 14 tokens per session (189 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for converting effective-instructions files between a directory bundle and a compact file. It can keep instructions as references, embed their contents, use both, or preserve the existing mode.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to convert an effective-instructions artifact, preserve custom instructions, choose the content format, and verify the output file.
Why use it?
It avoids manually reshaping instruction files and checks that the converted result follows the expected schema.

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

fdf-convert-effective-instructions 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 6d 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

Task: $ARGUMENTS

Requirements:

  1. Interpret $ARGUMENTS as conversion request:
    • bundle -> compact, or
    • compact -> bundle
  2. Support output content mode:
    • reference
    • portable (embedded content)
    • hybrid (both references + embedded content)
    • preserve (default)
  3. Resolve input/output paths from explicit user arguments or settings defaults.
  4. Use conversion tool: fdf/scripts/convert-effective-instructions.ps1
  5. Preserve custom_instructions block during conversion when present.
  6. Validate resulting artifact against target schema in fdf/schemas/.
  7. Return conversion mode, content mode, source path, output path, and validation status.

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.
