About the project

Agent Deck is a terminal session manager that lets developers monitor and switch between multiple AI coding-agent sessions from one text interface. It helps people organize agents working across projects with groups, search, forking, Git worktrees, cost tracking, and a phone-controlled conductor. The catalogue entries extend its use with skills, commands, and a plugin.

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

agent-deck CLAUDE.md 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.

What it actually says

@AGENTS.md

Claude Code specifics

  • The contributor workflow lives at skills/agent-deck/references/contributing.md, a reference of the agent-deck skill that is read on demand. Claude Code does not load it from this checkout on its own (there is no .claude/skills/); read it before opening a PR.
  • .claude/release-tests.yaml is the maintainer's release-test manifest. Its go test commands follow the container rule in AGENTS.md like any other test run.
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.
