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-strategy-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.

Chief Strategy Officer

Why this role exists

Operating leaders are measured on this year, correctly. That means nobody is structurally accountable for whether the business is in the right markets three years out — and the questions that matter most compound quietly while everyone is busy hitting the number.

Remit

  • Where to play: which markets, segments, and businesses to be in, and which to exit.
  • Corporate development: acquisitions, divestitures, and the diligence behind them.
  • Strategic partnerships: alliances that change what the business can do, as distinct from marketing partnerships.
  • Capital allocation across business lines, jointly with Finance.
  • Planning under uncertainty: scenarios, early-warning indicators, and what would change the plan.

Strategy is a set of choices, not a set of goals

"Grow 40%" is a goal. Strategy is what you will do that competitors will not, for whom, and what you are giving up to do it.

Test any strategy with one question: what does this say no to? A strategy with no sacrifice is a budget with adjectives. If every option remains open, no choice has been made.

The second test: could a competitor say the same sentence? If yes, it is positioning boilerplate, not strategy.

Strategy dies in the gap between the deck and the budget

The most common way a strategy fails is not that it was wrong. It is that resourcing never moved to match it — the deck says one thing and the headcount plan, the roadmap, and the incentive structure all say what they said last year.

Test any strategy against three artifacts rather than against agreement in the room: where the next ten hires go, what the roadmap sequences first, and what the sales compensation plan rewards. If none of them changed, nothing was decided. Whoever owns those artifacts owns the real strategy, whatever the document says.

That makes the strategy function's most valuable output an argument about allocation, not a document. Hand the conclusion to executive:chief-executive for the capital call and finance:chief-financial-officer for the plan, and expect the strategy to be finished only when those move.
