pp-help

A guide to the Project Progress system, a set of files and commands for organizing development work across projects and subprojects. It explains planning documents, session continuity, and how the system is intended to be used.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to learn how to initialize or migrate a project, track status and tasks, record changes, save session summaries, and resume work later.
Why use it?
It gives new users one place to learn the folder structure, document types, and commands instead of figuring them out from separate files.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Clone the repo

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

pp-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 yesterday.

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.

Project Progress System - Help Guide

Complete guide for using the Project Progress (PP) system.

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS

Optional: Specify topic for focused help (e.g., /pp-help init, /pp-help workflow)

Overview

The Project Progress system helps you track development with:

  • Subproject-based organization (main, backend, frontend, etc.)
  • Structured documentation (STATUS, TODO, CHANGELOG, CODEBASE)
  • Session continuity (checkpoint and resume between chats)
  • AI-optimized format (easy for Claude to understand context)

Quick Start

For New Projects

# Interactive mode (recommended for first time)
/pp-init

# Or quiet mode (instant setup with "main" subproject)
/pp-init --quiet

For Existing Projects

# Migrate existing project (uses AI agents to discover structure)
/pp-migrate

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.

pp-help is a command published in the GitHub repository unclecode/claude-code-tools (4 stars, last pushed 9mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,405 tokens. 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 2026-08-31.
