playbook

playbook is a command for Claude Code from ZSeven-W/dsh-crew. It costs 24 tokens per session (1,047 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A decision guide for sending work to DSH workers. It explains when to choose the flash or pro tier, how to write a self-contained task brief, and how to verify worker results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when deciding how to delegate a task, whether to run workers in parallel, how to write their instructions, or how to review their output.
Why use it?
Poorly scoped delegated work can produce incomplete or hard-to-check results. The guide helps match the worker tier and set review 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

playbook 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

When the user asks how to dispatch work to DSH workers — tier choice, writing a brief, parallelism, verifying results, guardrails — answer from the playbook below. Point to the relevant section rather than reciting it whole.

DSH Crew — Dispatch Playbook

How to delegate work to DSH workers well. The tool descriptions carry the mechanics; this playbook is the decision layer.

1. Choosing a worker

flash — mechanical, well-scoped work:

  • Rename a symbol in one or two files and update the obvious call sites.
  • Read a config file and report the values of a few keys.
  • Add a unit test for an existing function, following the file's existing style.

pro — multi-file work, debugging, design judgment:

  • Refactor a module that is used across the repo and update every caller.
  • Diagnose a flaky test or a race condition by reading logs and tracing the code.
  • Design a new API or file layout with tradeoffs to weigh, then implement it.

When in doubt, start with flash: escalate_on_failure retries a failed blocking flash run once on pro, so evidence, not guesswork, decides.

worker="agy" / worker="grok" is explicit opt-in. Set it only when the user explicitly asks for that CLI, never as a default. Two caveats to tell the user: grok refuses to start repo-local MCP servers in untrusted folders (global installs are unaffected; change directory or pass --trust), and agy runs with full approval because it has no workspace-scoped permission mode.

2. Writing the brief

The worker has zero conversation context. Every task string must be self-contained:

  • Absolute paths for every file and directory involved.
  • Exact acceptance criteria: what must be true when done, and how to verify it.
  • What NOT to touch (generated files, unrelated modules, lockfiles).
  • Never commit, push, or publish unless the user explicitly authorized it — write that into the brief.

Bad: "fix the auth bug". Good: "In /abs/path/repo/src/auth.ts the token refresh throws on 401 when the session expires; make it retry once and fail loudly, add a test in /abs/path/repo/test/auth.test.ts, and run npm test. Touch only auth.ts and its test. Do not commit."

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.

playbook is a command published in the GitHub repository ZSeven-W/dsh-crew (134 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 1,047 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
