cast-pass

cast-pass is a skill for Claude Code from codecast-sh/codecast. It costs 71 tokens per session (519 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A teammate handoff workflow that records the current state, assigns ownership, and alerts the recipient. The recipient gets a concise brief instead of needing to read the whole session.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when another person should continue the work, make a decision, or take ownership of a session and its related task.
Why use it?
Passing work without its status and next step makes the new owner spend time reconstructing the situation. A pinned state and message make the transfer explicit.

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

cast-pass 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 9d 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

A session passed without a brief is a transcript the teammate has to read from the top. The pin and the message are what make it a handoff.

Pin

cast state --status blocked with a first line that stands alone for someone who has not read the thread, then what is verified, what is open, and Next: naming the first thing they should do. If the work is more than an hour deep, write the handoff doc first (/cast-handoff) and put its id in the pin.

Own

cast own <member>            # adds them; the session sits in both inboxes
cast own <session> <member>  # a different session of yours

They get a notification, and the session surfaces under Needs Input in their inbox with your name on it. Use cast disown on yourself only if the work is entirely theirs now.

Brief

cast send to this session's id is pointless; the teammate reads the pin. When the note argument is given, or when the pass needs a reason the pin does not carry, post it where they will see it: the bound task (cast task comment <id>) or the team channel with their handle (cast chat send --channel <id> "@<handle> …"), one message. If the task should change assignee, cast task update <id> --assignee <member>.

When the work lives in uncommitted or unpushed changes, the transcript alone leaves them without the files. Name the command that recreates this tree on their machine, in the pin and the message: cast ws acquire <name> --from <this session's short id> gives them a worktree on this session's branch with its changes as uncommitted work. It reads the snapshot this machine's daemon last pushed to the remote (every few minutes while it runs), so the last few minutes of edits may not be in it yet.

Then stop. The next move is theirs.

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.
