access-and-identity

access-and-identity is a skill for Claude Code from cbrock84/headcount. It costs 76 tokens per session (866 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to controlling who can access systems and data, covering sign-in, permissions, administrator access, service credentials, and employee joiner-mover-leaver processes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design permissions, review access, reduce permanent administrator rights, handle offboarding, and set up single sign-on or multi-factor authentication.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of people keeping access they no longer need, accounts surviving after departure, or services having overly broad permissions.

About the project

headcount is an organization of independently installable Claude Code plugins, each grouping skills for a department such as finance, security, or demand generation. Claude Code users install the departments they need and invoke their skills for specialized work; the catalogue entries are skills and related agent tooling from that organization.

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

access-and-identity 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 5d 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 — 84 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Access and identity

Access accumulates. People change roles and keep the old permissions, services get broad credentials because narrow ones were inconvenient, and contractors' accounts outlive their contracts. Left alone, entitlement always grows and never shrinks.

Principles that actually hold

  • Least privilege, and it must be practical. A model so restrictive that people share accounts to get work done is worse than a looser one they follow.
  • Role-based, not person-based. Grants attached to individuals are ungovernable at any scale.
  • Time-bound elevation over standing privilege. Nobody should hold administrative access continuously because they occasionally need it. Elevation on request, with a reason, expiring automatically.
  • Separate duties where the consequence is severe. The person who requests a payment does not approve it; the person who writes the deploy does not solely authorize the production change.

Authentication

Single sign-on wherever possible — the value is not convenience, it is that offboarding becomes one action rather than forty. Every system outside SSO is a system someone will still have access to after they leave.

Multi-factor everywhere it is available, and phishing-resistant factors for administrative access. SMS is better than nothing and is the weakest option worth deploying.

Joiner, mover, leaver

Mover is the one everyone gets wrong. Joining and leaving are events with a process; changing role usually adds permissions and removes none, which is how a long-tenured employee ends up with access to everything.

Make role change a revoke-and-regrant rather than an addition. It is the single highest-value change most organizations can make to their access posture.

Offboarding needs to be same-day, cover everything including systems outside SSO, and be verified rather than assumed. Keep a list of what exists to be revoked — the fastest way to find the shadow systems is to try to offboard someone thoroughly.

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.
