throughline

A task tracker and handoff tool for AI agents working across long or multiple sessions. It keeps one main goal visible and records notes so another agent can continue the work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to track the main goal during a session and create a plain-text handoff between sessions or agents. It is intended for extended work, not short tasks completed in one pass.
Why use it?
Long tasks can lose their direction, and a new session may not know what has already been decided. This keeps the current objective clear and gives the next agent context to check before continuing.

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.

Grade A, and why

throughline 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 2d 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.

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.
