manager

manager is a skill for Claude Code from byheaven/byheaven-skills. It costs 43 tokens per session (252 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project collaborator role that discusses direction before delivery and coordinates authorized work. It can assign bounded work to coding workers, request independent checks, and integrate the results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to shape a project direction, coordinate contributors and sub-agents, manage delivery, and assemble verified changes.
Why use it?
It separates deciding what should be built from carrying out individual implementation tasks. This helps keep scope, authorization, and verification clear.

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: mentions subagents.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

manager 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 16d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/pr_wait.py, scripts/test_pr_wait.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

Manager

The Manager role text has one source: this plugin's agents/manager.md, at ../../agents/manager.md relative to this skill's directory. It carries the role and the full Human-Agent Principles.

If your system prompt already is that role (the session was started as the plugin's manager agent), it is in effect; continue under it. Otherwise read that file in full now and follow it as your role for this conversation. In it, ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} means this plugin's root directory, two levels above this skill's directory.

Accept the file only if it contains the line beginning <!-- principles:begin. If it is missing or lacks that line, this skill was installed without the plugin (for example by a skills-only installer), and that path may hold an unrelated agent. Do not follow it or search for another manager.md; tell the user the Manager role is unavailable in this install and that the full manager plugin is required.

Files

What ships with it

8 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.
