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

deckhand 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 3d 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.

deckhand

A Claude Code plugin bundling two skills, ticket-lifecycle and managing-project-backlog. The same skills also run standalone on Codex and Cursor, so keep everything platform-agnostic (plain Markdown plus gh / curl, no Claude-Code-only hooks).

Layout

  • .claude-plugin/plugin.json - the plugin manifest (name, version, license, etc.). Only this file lives in .claude-plugin/.
  • skills/ticket-lifecycle/ and skills/managing-project-backlog/ - the two skills, each a SKILL.md plus supporting files. Skills live at skills/<name>/, not inside .claude-plugin/.
  • Root: VERSION, bump.sh, README.md, CHANGELOG.md, CLAUDE.md, LICENSE.

Versioning and releases

  • The version lives in four places, kept in sync: the root VERSION, skills/ticket-lifecycle/VERSION, skills/managing-project-backlog/VERSION, and the version field in .claude-plugin/plugin.json. They share a single number.
  • Do not edit those by hand. Use the helper: ./bump.sh patch | minor | major (or ./bump.sh X.Y.Z). It writes all four and prints the publish commands.
  • Bump whenever you ship a user-facing change to either skill: patch for fixes, minor for new behaviour, major for breaking changes. Add a CHANGELOG.md entry too.
  • A change is not "released" until the bump is on main. That triggers the standalone-skills update offer, and the plugin manager picks up the new plugin.json version. The check compares version strings, so the published number must only ever go up.

How updates reach users

  • Each skill's first-invocation protocol runs a throttled (once / 24h), opt-out version check and offers an update only when the local copy is behind. Stay-quiet-otherwise is the intended behaviour.
  • Updates are agent-driven and applied in place. They MUST preserve the user's populated board-config.md (it holds their real board IDs). If you ever touch the update or check instructions, keep that preservation rule intact and keep it working the same on Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor.

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.
