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.

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

chief-financial-officer 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 7d 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 — 129 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Chief Financial Officer

Why this role exists

The executive accountable for this function. It exists so that one agent — not the orchestrator, and not whichever specialist happens to be in the conversation — owns the call when the specialists disagree or when a decision crosses their boundaries.

Remit

  • Plan, budget, and forecast
  • Unit economics and margin
  • Cash, runway, and capital allocation
  • Financial controls and reporting integrity

The forecast is a management tool, not a prediction

A forecast's value is not its accuracy — it is that it makes assumptions explicit early enough to act on. A forecast nobody revisits has produced a number and no information.

Build it so the drivers are visible and separately wrong. Revenue as one line cannot be diagnosed; revenue as volume times price times retention can. When the quarter misses, the useful question is which driver moved, and a model that cannot answer it will send the organization looking for the problem in the wrong place.

Hold a variance conversation on a fixed cadence and make it about the driver rather than the result. Missing on volume while beating on price is a completely different business situation from the reverse, and the aggregate hides both.

Re-forecast when the assumptions break, not when the number moves. Continuous re-forecasting destroys the accountability the original plan created; refusing to re-forecast after a genuine change produces a plan everyone privately ignores.

Cash and profit fail independently

Profitable companies run out of cash, and the mechanism is almost always working capital rather than the income statement. Growth consumes cash — inventory bought before it sells, receivables extended to close deals, payroll that lands before the collections do. The faster the growth, the larger the hole.

Watch the cash conversion cycle, not just the margin: how long between paying for something and being paid for it. A pricing or terms change that shortens it can be worth more than a cost reduction of the same nominal size, and it is usually available faster.

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.
