project-delivery

project-delivery is a skill for Claude Code from cbrock84/headcount. It costs 58 tokens per session (965 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-delivery guide for one bounded piece of work, covering scope, estimates, schedules, dependencies, progress, and recovery from delays.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps plan a project, estimate work as a range, build or challenge a schedule, track meaningful progress, and recover a late project.
Why use it?
It makes hidden assumptions and unclear scope visible before they cause late changes. It also focuses attention on delays that affect the final date.

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

project-delivery 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 3d 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 — 96 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Project delivery

A project is one bounded piece of work with an end. Coordinating several toward a shared outcome is pmo:program-management.

Scope by exclusion

Inclusions are agreed easily and understood differently. The exclusions do the work: what this project will not deliver, written down and acknowledged by the sponsor.

Unwritten exclusions return as assumptions, always late, always framed as something obviously included. Fixing that at the end is called scope creep; it is usually a documentation failure at the start.

Estimate as a range, and say what the range means

A single-point estimate is a forecast presented as a commitment. Give a range with the assumptions that would move it, and be explicit about confidence.

Estimate the work, not the desired date. Estimates negotiated downward do not change the work; they change when you find out, and the finding-out happens at the least recoverable moment.

Decompose until the pieces are comprehensible. Estimating a large unknown produces a number correlated with optimism rather than with the work.

The critical path is where attention belongs

Not everything late matters. Slippage on the critical path moves the end date; slippage elsewhere consumes float. Knowing which is which is the difference between useful concern and generalised anxiety.

Recalculate as things change — the critical path moves, and a team watching the original one is watching the wrong thing.

Hold buffer at the project level rather than padding each task. Padded tasks absorb their own buffer and deliver no earlier, because work expands and nobody reports finishing early.

Track completion, not effort

Percentage complete is self-reported optimism, and it famously stalls at 90%. Track binary completion of defined deliverables — done or not done, judged against a definition agreed in advance.

Watch the trend: whether the amount remaining is falling at the rate required. A project where remaining work is not decreasing is a project that is late, whatever the reported percentage.

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.
