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

presentation-design 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 1mo 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.

Presentation design

Decks

The deck is not the talk. Slides that contain the argument make the speaker redundant and the reader confused. Decide which artifact you are making — a spoken-support deck or a read-alone document — because they have opposite rules and the hybrid fails at both.

One idea per slide. If a slide needs a sub-argument, it is two slides. The cost of an extra slide is zero; the cost of a crowded one is that nothing on it lands.

Structure carries more than styling:

  1. Open with the change in the world that makes this matter now.
  2. State the problem in the audience's terms, not yours.
  3. The argument, in the smallest number of steps that hold.
  4. The evidence — one chart per claim, not a dashboard.
  5. The ask, stated explicitly. A deck that ends without an ask was a briefing.

On slides: headline states the takeaway, not the topic — "Churn concentrates in month two," not "Churn analysis." If the reader only reads headlines, they should get the argument.

Charts: one message each, labeled directly rather than through a legend, with the axis honest. Strip everything that is not carrying information.

Board decks and conference talks follow different rules

The structure above is shaped for persuasion to a room you are in. Two of the artifacts this skill is asked for are not that.

A board deck is read before the meeting, not presented at it. It goes out days ahead and is expected to be read, so it has to stand alone — which makes it the read-alone document, not the spoken-support deck.

  • Separate what is for decision from what is for information, and say which is which on the page. A board meeting spent walking through updates is a board meeting with no decisions in it.
  • Keep the format identical period over period. The value of a board pack is comparison across time, and a redesign destroys it. Same sections, same order, same metrics with the same definitions.
  • Lead with what is not working. A pack that buries the problem on page nineteen costs credibility permanently once someone finds it, and they do.
  • Bring the open question, not only the resolved one. A board shown finished thinking cannot help and eventually stops trying.
