bcc-throughline

bcc-throughline is a skill for Claude Code from bo-cao/breaking-coding-chaos. It costs 56 tokens per session (2,539 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-progress map kept in a few Markdown files, showing the goal, work phases, key decisions, and changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to see where a project stands, reorder major pieces of work, resume an effort, and record findings. It does not write product code.
Why use it?
It keeps important context on disk so progress is easier to understand and continue after a chat is cleared or a session ends.

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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00056 $0.02539
Opus 5 $0.00028 $0.01269

Security

Grade A, and why

bcc-throughline 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 8d 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 — 215 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

bcc-throughline

Job: keep a durable endeavor map so the human can see progress and re-order work — goal, phases, hardpoints, what changed.

Files (project root only): plans.md · progress.md · findings.md
Templates: templates/. Coding checklists live in root PLAN.md (other skills) — not here.

Internal only: disk = durable context; chat = RAM. Session file: SESSION.md. Writeback rules: WRITEBACK.md.
Do not narrate these metaphors or protocol names to the user unless they ask how BCC works.


User voice (required — comfort first)

Talk like a sharp collaborator mapping the project — not like a workflow product or a gatekeeper.

Do Don't
Lead with their goal / map / options Lead with “先恢复上下文 / 对齐账本 / BCC 流程”
Short: goal → map (or delta) → 1–2 next choices Dump file-role tables, 5-question grids, skill lecture
Suggest only map-level things (order, balance, drop/merge hardpoints) Remind “还没写代码 / Throughline 不写产品代码 / 不进 plan-spar” unprompted
On cold start: act like starting Act like resuming an empty project
Offer: “要继续 refining 主线的话可以说…” Push the next BCC skill by default

Length: prefer ≤ ~15 short lines of chat after tools (or one tight table of hardpoints). Longer only if the map itself is long.

Meta talk: role boundaries and “no product code” are agent constraints — enforce silently. Explain only if the user asks to code here, or asks what throughline is.


Branch: cold start vs resume

Before tools, classify silently:

State Signs Do
Cold start No trio, or empty workspace + user brings a new idea Bootstrap map from their idea. Do not say restore/align context.
Resume / adjust Trio exists; status, rebalance, reprioritize, after /clear Read trio (and session if present); update; answer briefly.
Lagging ledger Code/git moved but files stale Quietly reconcile files, then answer from the map.

Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
