clockify-automate

clockify-automate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dustinestes/clockify-agent-plugin. It costs 82 tokens per session (1,288 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill that connects a repository’s issue and pull-request workflow to Clockify, a time-tracking service. It adds agent rules and hooks that can automate tracking events.

In plain words
What is it for?
Setting up Clockify automation for events such as starting or finishing issues, switching issues, shipping pull requests, and closing pull requests.
Why use it?
It removes the need to start and stop timers manually during configured issue or pull-request actions.

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

clockify-automate 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 today.

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 — 74 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Clockify automate

Mode on. This is not a second init. If config is already present, skip rewrite and only add Cursor glue.

Config root

Pass config_root on Clockify MCP calls. If it is already known this session and still this repo, reuse it — do not run git before every tool. Otherwise resolve once with git rev-parse --show-toplevel from the working directory (open tabs are not required). In a multi-root workspace, git-toplevel the focused file/folder; if nothing is focused, ask or scan roots for .clockify/config.yml. Re-resolve when the focused root changes. Do not pass the .code-workspace parent.

Init first (if needed)

If .clockify/config.yml is missing (clockify_get_config with config_root returns found: false), perform clockify-init in full (workspace AskQuestion, then shape 0/1/2, then ensure only for shapes 1 and 2). It is idempotent. Then only the steps below. Do not restate or fork that skill’s config/ignore/project/task steps. If they chose shape 0, config exists but there may be no Clockify project yet — still write Cursor glue; do not invent a project.

If config already exists, do not overwrite it. Continue with After init.

After init

  1. clockify_get_config with config_root — read entry_methods.automated.triggers, entry_methods.automated.inactivity, entry_methods.automated.task, entry_methods.automated.overlap. If entry_methods.automated.triggers is empty, stop and point at .clockify/config.yml.example.
  2. Add or update .cursor/rules/clockify.mdc so the agent:
    • Passes config_root on Clockify MCP calls: reuse the known git toplevel this session; re-resolve only if the folder or focused root changed (cwd first, not the open file)
    • Passes entry_method: automated on clockify_start_timer / clockify_stop_timer
    • On starting work / planning for an issue → start with issue fields; honor task.from / task.if_missing (create Clockify tasks from GitHub labels or from repoName when from is repo; if no label and not repo, no task)
    • On finishing issue work, shipping a PR, or closing/abandoning a PR in-session → stop
    • On switching issues → warn with the running timer’s description/duration; stop-then-start only after the user confirms
    • On session start / resume → clockify_get_running_timer; if inactivity.pastThreshold, stop (or ask)
    • If a tool returns overlap: true, ask before confirm_overlap: true unless overlap.on_conflict is override
  3. Leftover rename: if .cursor/rules/clockify-time.mdc still exists, move its content into clockify.mdc (or delete it after writing the new file). Do not leave both rule files.
  4. In the managed .gitignore stanza, ensure .cursor/rules/clockify.mdc is listed and drop any .cursor/rules/clockify-time.mdc line.
  5. Optionally add Cursor hooks (sessionStart / sessionEnd / stop) for the inactivity check — fail-open so hooks never block coding if Clockify is down. Prefer entries clearly owned by Clockify so clockify-unautomate can remove them surgically. There is no PR-close Cursor hook; pr_closed is the agent rule when the user closes or abandons a PR in this session.

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.
