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

employee-relations 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 2d 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 — 66 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Employee relations

These situations are consequential for the person, for the organization's legal exposure, and for everyone watching how it is handled. Process is what protects all three.

This structures the approach and tells you what to ask. Grievances, investigations, dismissals, discrimination and accommodation are legally regulated and vary substantially by jurisdiction — involve qualified employment counsel early rather than at the point of decision.

Take complaints seriously and visibly

How the first complaint is handled determines whether you hear about the second. An organization that mishandles one complaint does not stop having problems; it stops being told about them, and then learns about them from a regulator or a lawyer.

Acknowledge promptly, explain what will happen next, and say what the person can expect to be told. Do not promise confidentiality you cannot deliver — say who will need to know and why. A broken confidentiality promise destroys the reporting channel permanently.

Protect against retaliation actively. Retaliation is frequently a worse exposure than the original complaint, and it often occurs through ordinary decisions — a changed assignment, an excluded invitation — made by someone who would deny any such intent.

Investigations

An investigation establishes what happened. It is not a negotiation and not a disciplinary process.

  • Independent investigator — not in the reporting line of anyone involved.
  • Scope agreed in writing at the start, so it neither drifts nor is later described as narrow.
  • Both sides heard, with the respondent told the substance of the allegation in enough detail to answer it.
  • Contemporaneous notes, and evidence preserved from the moment you are aware.
  • Findings on the balance of evidence, stated separately from any recommendation.

Move quickly. Investigations that drift damage everyone involved and the delay itself becomes a complaint.

Conflict that is not misconduct

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.
