igce-builder-lh-tm

igce-builder-lh-tm is a skill for Codex from 1102tools-dev/federal-contracting-skills. It costs 147 tokens per session (4,221 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for building labor-hour or time-and-materials Independent Government Cost Estimates, which are government estimates used to plan and assess contracts paid through hourly labor rates. It also covers materials for time-and-materials work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to estimate labor categories and hours, calculate burdened hourly rates, separate material costs, compare proposed rates with supporting data, and prepare a price-analysis memo.
Why use it?
It keeps labor, rates, materials, and assumptions separate so the estimate can be checked and updated clearly.

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

igce-builder-lh-tm 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/recompute_expected_values.py, scripts/validate_workbook.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

IGCE Builder: Labor-Hour and Time-and-Materials

Overview

Product quality default

Build a route-specific operational estimate. The summary begins with the requirement, whether the estimate is LH or T&M, the decision supported, ceiling or labor basis, material assumptions, top drivers, limitations, and next human action. Use Labor-Hour Independent Government Cost Estimate — [Requirement] or Time-and-Materials Independent Government Cost Estimate — [Requirement], never a generic evidence-brief title. Keep rate evidence and source inputs in their own sheets; keep materials separate from labor and do not convert neutral benchmarking into a procurement conclusion.

Build an auditable Labor-Hour or Time-and-Materials Independent Government Cost Estimate. Both contract types use fixed hourly rates that include wages, overhead, G&A, and profit. T&M also reimburses materials at actual cost, subject to the contract and applicable indirect-cost treatment; LH does not include a materials-reimbursement component.

Regulatory anchors: FAR 15.404-1, FAR 16.600 and 16.601, FAR 31.205-26, and FAR 52.232-7. Apply the current regulation, solicitation, clauses, and agency supplement. This skill does not prepare the Determination and Findings required to use T&M/LH or make legal determinations.

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.
