chore

chore is a skill for Claude Code from bjornjee/agent-dashboard. It costs 21 tokens per session (649 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for non-code repository changes such as documentation, configuration, continuous integration, or dependency updates. It uses separate Git branches and checks that the change stays within that scope.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for docs, rules, configuration, CI, and dependency changes, including creating a branch, defining the scope, making the change, and verifying it.
Why use it?
It provides a fixed review path for small maintenance work and prevents application changes from being handled as simple chores.

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

chore 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.

Change description: $ARGUMENTS

Instructions

Follow these phases in order. Each phase has a gate — do not proceed until the gate is satisfied.


Phase 1: Branch Setup

  1. Derive a short kebab-case name from the change description.
  2. Switch to main: git checkout main
  3. Pull latest: git pull origin main
  4. Create a new branch from main: git checkout -b chore/<name>
    • If the branch already exists, ask the user whether to resume it (git checkout chore/<name>) or choose a new name.
  5. Confirm the branch: git branch --show-current

Gate: On the correct chore/<name> branch, based on latest main.


Phase 2: Scope

  1. Parse the change description — what needs to change and why?
  2. Identify the affected files.
  3. Confirm this is a non-code change (config, docs, rules, CI, dependencies). If it involves application logic or tests, suggest /agent-dashboard:feature or /agent-dashboard:fix instead. If a rule or config change introduces new agent behavior, consider /agent-dashboard:feature for planning and review.

Gate: The scope is clear and limited to non-code changes.


Phase 3: Implement

  1. Make the changes.
  2. Run the smallest relevant verification:
    • Docs/rules/config text only: run no test, or a docs/config validation command if the repo has one.
    • Dependency, CI, Makefile, formatter, or test-runner changes: run the affected native command and full make test/make test-fast when available.
    • Agent workflow/rule changes that alter behavior: run the package test covering that workflow, or switch to /agent-dashboard:feature if implementation-level validation is needed.

Gate: Changes are applied. The relevant verification is complete and named.


Phase 4: Review

Review all changes for correctness and convention adherence. Apply all project rules and conventions that are in your context.

Gate: No issues remain.


Phase 5: Commit and Open PR

  1. Commit with a conventional commit message. Use the appropriate type:

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.
