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-operating-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 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 — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Chief Operating 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

  • Cross-functional process and handoffs
  • Program and delivery management
  • Capacity, vendors, and supply chain
  • Operational quality and incident response

Handoffs are where the work actually fails

Individual functions are usually competent. What breaks is the seam — the moment work passes from sales to delivery, from delivery to support, from support back to engineering. Each side believes it did its part, and the customer experiences the gap.

Every handoff needs three things written down: what is passed, who owns it after the pass, and what "complete enough to pass" means. Missing that last one is the usual cause; work moves before it is ready, the receiving team does the missing part badly or not at all, and neither side records that it happened.

Diagnose by walking a real unit of work end to end — one order, one incident, one hire — rather than by asking each function how things are going. The functions will each report health, because each of them is healthy.

Standardize the repeated, leave the rest alone

Process is a real cost paid by everyone who follows it, and it earns that cost only where the work repeats. Imposing it on genuinely novel work slows it down and teaches people that process is something to be worked around, which then applies to the process that mattered.

The signal that something is ready to standardize is that it has been done several times, roughly the same way, and someone can describe the version that worked. Before that, documenting it prematurely locks in the wrong version.

Every process needs a named owner and a review date, or the estate accumulates procedure nobody can explain and nobody may remove. Ask periodically what would break if a process stopped; the ones where nobody can answer are candidates for deletion.

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.
