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

programmatic-seo 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Programmatic SEO

Done well, one template covers thousands of real searches. Done badly, it is a mass of thin pages that damages the whole domain.

Qualify before building

All four must hold:

  1. A real query pattern with verified volume across many instances — not one popular term and a long tail of zeroes.
  2. Data you actually have, at quality, for most instances. Missing data produces empty pages, and empty pages are the failure mode.
  3. Genuine per-page value. If two pages differ only by a swapped noun, they are duplicates however they are generated.
  4. A reason to be better than what ranks now. Usually completeness, freshness, or data nobody else has.

Fail any one and the answer is fewer, better pages.

Building

  • Design the best single page first, by hand, and confirm it is genuinely useful. Then find what in it is variable. Templating before you know the good page scales a mediocre one.
  • Vary the substance, not just the strings. Each page needs data, comparisons, or context specific to it.
  • Set a minimum data threshold. Below it, the page does not get generated. This single rule prevents most programmatic disasters.
  • Internal linking is not optional — thousands of orphaned pages will not be crawled. Build hub pages and cross-links into the template.
  • Roll out in batches. Publish a few hundred, wait for indexation and performance, then continue. A full launch that goes wrong is hard to unwind.

Maintaining

Stale programmatic pages rot faster than editorial ones because there are so many. Set a refresh cadence tied to the data source, and prune: pages with no impressions after two quarters should be consolidated or removed. Volume is not the goal.

Sources

references/sources.md in this skill lists the outside authorities that settle the questions here — what each one is authoritative for, and what you may do with it. Check them before answering on anything they cover, and cite what you used. Most are free to read and not free to reproduce; the use note on each is binding.

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.
