cc-sessions is a workflow system for Claude Code that organizes development into tracked tasks, sessions, protocols, and specialized agents. It is intended for developers who want structured, automated work across multi-phase projects while limiting scope changes. Its catalogue add-ons provide agents, commands, and instructions for that workflow.
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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.03761 | $0.03761 |
| Opus 5 | $0.01880 | $0.01880 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00752 | $0.00752 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00376 | $0.00376 |
Grade A, and why
cc-sessions CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

cc-sessions
A Claude Code workflow framework that enforces structured AI pair programming through Discussion-Alignment-Implementation-Check (DAIC) methodology.
What It Does
cc-sessions transforms Claude Code into a disciplined workflow system where Claude must discuss approaches before writing code, maintains persistent task context across sessions, and provides specialized agents for complex operations. Available in both Python and JavaScript with complete feature parity.
Core Concepts
DAIC Enforcement
- Discussion Mode: Default state. Edit/Write/MultiEdit tools blocked until explicit approval
- Implementation Mode: Activated by trigger phrases ("yert", "make it so", "run that")
- Todo-Based Boundaries: Approved TodoWrite lists define exact implementation scope
- Todo Change Detection: Blocks unauthorized todo modifications with detailed diff and required "SHAME RITUAL" response format
- Automatic Return: Returns to discussion mode when all todos complete
- Configurable: Customize trigger phrases, blocked tools, and enforcement patterns
Task Management
- Priority Prefixes: h- (high), m- (medium), l- (low), ?- (investigate)
- Two Task Types: File-based for focused work, directory-based for multi-phase projects
- Branch Enforcement: Automatic git branch creation and validation (optional, can be disabled)
- Persistent Context: Task state preserved across session restarts
- Directory Tasks: Multi-subtask workflows on a single feature branch
Sessions State System
Unified state management in sessions/sessions-state.json:
current_task- Active task with frontmatter integrationmode- Current DAIC mode (discussion/implementation)active_protocol- Currently running protocol (CREATE/START/COMPLETE/COMPACT/None)todos- Active and stashed todo listsflags- Context warnings, subagent statusmetadata- Runtime state (kickstart progress, update checks)api- Protocol-specific command permissions
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.

cc-sessions CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository GWUDCAP/cc-sessions (1,552 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 3,761 tokens to every session, about $0.0188 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
