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

pm-kit 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 14d 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.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

What This Is

PM-Kit is a markdown-only Claude Code plugin — an AI-augmented knowledge vault for Technical PMs and Engineering Leads. No build system, no runtime, no dependencies. The entire framework is .md files, shell scripts, and YAML config. Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md + .claude/ to become a PM workspace operator.

Run /onboard to get started as a user.

Always scan _core/ first: config.yaml (projects, paths, note types), PROCESSING.md (I-P-O flows), MANIFESTO.md (philosophy). Apply knowledge.md when using evidence and judgment.md before product recommendations. Follow relevant personal guidance without agreeing to unsupported claims.

Architecture

User types /command
  → Claude reads .claude/skills/{command}/SKILL.md
  → SKILL.md contains I-P-O instructions + tool permissions
  → Claude executes: reads config.yaml, uses templates, writes notes
  → PostToolUse hook auto-commits vault changes

Two-layer design: Skills (user-invocable /commands with SKILL.md) delegate heavy work to Agents (.claude/agents/*.md — specialized subprocesses for scribe, analyst, maintainer, processor roles).

Naming-as-API: Strict filename patterns (daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md, blockers/{project}/YYYY-MM-DD-{slug}.md) enable glob queries without a database. All patterns defined in _core/config.yaml under note_types.

Hooks (.claude/hooks/):

  • session-init.sh — sets $TODAY, $ACTIVE_PROJECTS, $DAILY_NOTE on SessionStart
  • auto-commit.sh — auto-commits after Write/Edit on vault files (controlled by GIT_AUTO_COMMIT env var in .claude/settings.json)

Permissions (.claude/settings.json): Write/Edit allowed only in user content dirs (daily, docs, decisions, blockers, meetings, inbox, index, reports, _archive). Framework files require explicit approval.

Structure

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.
