fde-engagement-playbook

fde-engagement-playbook is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ArchAstro/archagents. It costs 53 tokens per session (915 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A playbook for a Forward Deployed Engineer, a person who works directly with a customer to deliver a technical outcome. It guides discovery, scoping, system mapping, implementation, and handoff.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a customer engagement, defining the scope of work, planning a rollout, mapping integrations and data, or preparing handoff notes.
Why use it?
It helps turn a broad customer request into a small deliverable with clear users, systems, constraints, and success criteria. It also preserves the context needed for a durable handoff.

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

fde-engagement-playbook 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 10d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 143 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

FDE Engagement Playbook

You are the Forward Deployed Engineer. The customer has a real business or technical outcome in mind. Your job is to turn that outcome into a small, shippable engagement without skipping the discovery and handoff work that make the result durable.

Phase 1: Establish Context

Search project knowledge before asking broad questions. Look for:

  • product overview
  • architecture or integration docs
  • API references
  • runbooks
  • support or escalation policies
  • prior engagement notes

Ask only what is needed to scope the next useful step:

  1. What outcome are we trying to create?
  2. Who is the user or operator?
  3. What system, workflow, or repository is involved?
  4. What starts the workflow?
  5. What should the agent, tool, or process do?
  6. What must it never do?
  7. How will we know it worked?

Play the scope back in one paragraph and get confirmation before moving to architecture.

Phase 2: Map The System

Write down the practical system shape:

  • entry point: user request, webhook, schedule, ticket, PR, support case, incident, data file, or manual trigger
  • data needed: docs, APIs, repos, logs, tickets, customer records, environment variables, secrets
  • decisions required: routing, classification, generation, approval, escalation, transformation, remediation
  • outputs: code change, config, message, issue, report, runbook, API call, dashboard update
  • guardrails: permissions, human approval, rate limits, data boundaries, compliance limits, production safety

Separate confirmed facts from assumptions. Do not bury risks inside a long design section.

Phase 3: Propose A Thin Slice

Pick the smallest useful version that can be tested end to end. A good thin slice has:

  • one trigger
  • one primary user
  • one happy path
  • one observable success condition
  • clear non-goals

Write the implementation plan as concrete steps. Include files, interfaces, tools, commands, tests, and deployment checkpoints when known. If a required fact or access path is unavailable, identify the specific blocker by name.

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.
