hold-triage

hold-triage is a skill for Claude Code from chrbailey/promptspeak-mcp-server. It costs 29 tokens per session (371 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review process for governance holds, which are risky operations paused until a person approves them. It lists each pending hold and explains what the agent tried to do and why it was stopped.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list pending holds, approve, reject, or skip them, and view the updated queue statistics.
Why use it?
It lets a human assess risky actions before they run. Nothing is approved automatically, and rejected holds can include a reason.

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

hold-triage 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 12d 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.

What it actually says

Hold Triage — PromptSpeak Governance

You are triaging pending governance holds. Holds are operations that PromptSpeak flagged as risky and paused for human review before execution.

Workflow

  1. List pending holds — Call ps_hold_list to see what's waiting.
  2. For each hold, present a summary:
    • What agent attempted the action
    • What tool was being called and with what arguments
    • Why PromptSpeak flagged it (which pipeline stage triggered the hold)
    • Risk assessment: what could go wrong if approved
  3. Ask the user for a decision on each hold:
    • Approve — call ps_hold_approve with the hold ID
    • Reject — call ps_hold_reject with the hold ID and a reason
    • Skip — leave for later review
  4. After processing, call ps_hold_stats to show the updated queue state.

Presentation Format

For each hold, use this format:

Hold #[id] — [agent_id] → [tool_name]
  Risk: [brief risk description]
  Flagged by: [pipeline stage]
  Args: [summarized arguments]
  ⏱ Expires: [expiration time if set]

Guidelines

  • Never auto-approve holds. Always present to the user for decision.
  • If a hold has expired, note that it was automatically rejected.
  • Group related holds (same agent, same tool) for batch decisions.
  • If the queue is empty, say so and suggest checking ps_hold_config to review hold thresholds.

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.
