service-level-management

service-level-management is a skill for Claude Code from cbrock84/headcount. It costs 65 tokens per session (612 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for defining customer-facing service promises, measuring whether they are met, and handling missed targets. An SLA is a service-level agreement: a written commitment with measurable targets.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write or negotiate an SLA, choose meaningful measures and thresholds, investigate breaches, and set internal warning margins.
Why use it?
It prevents teams from meeting convenient internal numbers while customers still experience slow, degraded, or unreliable service.

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

service-level-management 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 4d 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.

Service level management

A service level is a promise with a number attached. The number is the easy part; choosing what to measure is where these go wrong.

Measure what the customer feels

The characteristic failure is a service meeting every target while customers are angry. It happens when the measure is chosen for availability of data rather than relevance:

  • Uptime that excludes degraded operation. Technically up and unusably slow is down.
  • Response time instead of resolution time. An instant acknowledgment that resolves nothing measures the autoresponder.
  • Averages instead of percentiles. A mean hides the tail, and the tail is who complains. Commit at p95 or p99, not the mean.
  • Measurement from inside your own perimeter, which excludes the part of the path the customer actually traverses.

Set targets you would fund

A target is a spending decision. Each added nine costs disproportionately more than the last, so the question is never "what would be good?" but "what is the gap worth to the customer, and does it exceed what closing it costs?"

Set the internal objective tighter than the external commitment. The gap between them is your warning margin; without it, the first thing you learn about a breach is the breach.

Write them so both sides can tell

An unmeasurable clause is a future dispute. Every service level needs: what is measured, where it is measured from, how it is calculated, what is excluded, over what window, and what happens when it is missed.

Exclusions are the substance — planned maintenance, force majeure, customer-caused failures, dependencies outside your control. Vague exclusions get read narrowly when it matters. For anything with contractual teeth, legal-risk:contract-review owns the remedy language; this skill owns whether the number is achievable.

When you breach

Say so before the customer does. A breach reported by the provider with a cause and a fix costs far less trust than one the customer discovers and raises.
