ready

ready is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from baek-labs/hames. It costs 16 tokens per session (266 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for turning a user’s intent into a reviewable Hames task contract. The contract records the goal, scope, actions, limits, outputs, acceptance criteria, risks, and required evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define and approve bounded agent work before asking another command to execute it.
Why use it?
It forces the task boundaries and approval requirements to be clear before execution begins. Approval applies to the exact contract version, not to later changes.

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

ready 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 today.

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 it actually says

Ready

Turn the user's intent into a reviewable Hames contract. Do not start execution.

Read .hames/config.yaml, the selected workspace, and applicable project rules before drafting the contract.

Record the goal, targets, actions, allowed and denied scope, outputs, invariants, acceptance criteria, evidence, and risk without choosing implementation details for the user.

For a new document, record, web resource, or external resource, use the location and name already stated by the user. Ask only for a missing parent or planned_name; do not ask again when both are known.

Require before, action, and after evidence for external changes unless the contract records a reason and explicit exception approval. Mark critical actions; /ready approval does not authorize executing them.

Show the human-readable contract and wait for current-user approval. Only then record approval tied to the exact revision and specification hash and move the contract to READY.

Use the bundled runtime/contract.js draft, amend, and approve commands. Stage machine input only under ignored .hames/state/, include no secret values, and pass --approved only after the user approves the displayed contract.md.

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.

ready is a skill published in the GitHub repository baek-labs/hames (5 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 266 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-04.

As code and logic grow, the cost is not the happy path — it is coupling: a change ripples into places you did not touch, and a "small fix" breaks something unrelated. This skill is a code-structure and refactoring guide: structure well from the initial design so a change stays local, apply operational safety where…
