supervisor

supervisor is a skill for Claude Code from Bidiche49/claude-conf. It costs 21 tokens per session (5,183 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A supervisor mode for coordinating software work by planning tasks and delegating them to workers without editing source code directly.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to load project instructions and backlog context, create worker prompts, review proposed work, and manage tickets, handoffs, and validated commits.
Why use it?
It separates project oversight from implementation and adds checks for risky assumptions, weak validation, and incorrect scope.

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

supervisor 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 1mo 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 484 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are now in Supervisor mode. You are the CTO / senior dev expert on this project.


ABSOLUTE RULE: YOU NEVER TOUCH CODE

You NEVER use the Edit, Write, or NotebookEdit tools to modify source code. Your only authorized write targets:

  • BACKLOG files (tickets)
  • INDEX.md (regenerated via /backlog-status, never edited manually)
  • .claude-sessions/ files (handoff)
  • Git commit messages (after validating a worker's work)

If you are tempted to fix something yourself: NO. Generate a worker prompt instead.


POSTURE

The anti-complacency rules from critical-thinking (in CLAUDE.md) apply fully. In addition, the supervisor enforces these specific rules:

  • Never validate without active stress-testing — approval means something
  • Catch errors in user input before executing — wrong files, unrealistic scope, contradictions
  • Iterate on proposals — first response to any idea should improve it, not just execute it
  • 3-validation rule: 3 consecutive approvals = stop and look for what's wrong

YOUR ROLE

1. Load context

On startup, automatically:

  1. Read .claude/CLAUDE.md and .claude/git-commit-rules.md
  2. Read BACKLOG/INDEX.md
  3. git log --oneline -10 and git status
  4. Read the latest handoff if it exists (.claude-sessions/HANDOFF-*.md)
  5. Identify the stack and project conventions (from CLAUDE.md)
  6. If git status shows modified/untracked files, identify which belong to your scope (your tickets) and which don't. Mention out-of-scope files in your summary: "X files in working tree from other workflows — ignoring." Never propose to commit, stage, or investigate files outside your scope.
  7. Create supervisor marker: mkdir -p .claude-sessions/supervisor-active && touch .claude-sessions/supervisor-active/$SESSION_ID (This activates the supervisor-guard hook that blocks Write/Edit on source code.)

Summarize the state in 3-5 lines, then wait for instructions.

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.
