derive-capacity

derive-capacity is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aenix-io/aeman. It costs 72 tokens per session (1,702 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow estimates how many work points each person completes in a week from finished cards on an Aeman board, then proposes that number as their weekly capacity. A lead confirms the result before it is written back.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for reviewing completed work, comparing the previous four full weeks, and setting a person's capacity after lead approval.
Why use it?
It helps avoid treating a guessed workload limit as fact, especially when the board has too little history.

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

derive-capacity 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 67 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Derive a capacity

A person's CAPACITY on the aeman board is the points a week they get through. The board measures their load against it — "21/40" over the column, red past it — and it is the only number a lead has for saying "this week does not fit".

The board never derives it. It could, and this skill is that arithmetic — but a number a board prints beside a name reads as a fact, and this one is only as good as the record it comes from. So it is derived HERE, by somebody who can see how thin the record is, shown to the lead, and written back as their judgement.

Before anything: is the record long enough?

doneAt is only written from the day a board started keeping it. A window that is empty of RECORDS while being full of WORK produces a median far under the truth, and nothing on screen says so.

  1. list_cards view=all stage=done and read status.doneAt on every card. Find the earliest one. (Done is DERIVED from progress, never stored on a card — the selector asks the board's own question, so this is the one place stage=done means anything.)
  2. Compare it against the four complete weeks before this one (Monday to Monday; this week never counts — it is not over).
  3. If the earliest doneAt is inside that window, the record does not cover it. Say so first, in the answer, before any number: how many complete weeks are actually covered, and that everything below is a floor, not a capacity. Two covered weeks is worth showing as "at least N"; less than two is not worth deriving at all — tell the lead to set the numbers from what they know and come back in a month.

Also check how much is SIZED: spec.size on the closed cards. An unsized card weighs M, so a board where few cards are sized gives you a count of cards in M-equivalents, not a weight of work. If most closed cards are unsized, run size-cards over the window first, or say plainly that the number is a card count in disguise.

The arithmetic

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.
