kit-board

kit-board is a skill for Claude Code from dwarvesf/dwarves-kit. It costs 97 tokens per session (618 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only command guide for checking the state of work boards. It maps questions about board health, waiting work, decisions, backlog counts, and automated sweeps to the commands that provide those answers.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps inspect board health, explain the daily brief, list backlog rows, and verify what an automated board sweep is doing.
Why use it?
It avoids manually recomputing board status and reduces the risk of using the wrong check for a daily brief or synchronization question.

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

kit-board 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 20d 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.

The kit owns the logic. This skill only says which command answers which question. Run it in the terminal, read the output, answer in plain words. Do not recompute anything the command already printed.

 question                           command (all read-only)
 ---------------------------------  ------------------------------------------------------
 how are the boards / over limit    ~/.claude/dwarves-kit/bin/board health run --dry-run --force
 what needs my decision, the brief  ~/.claude/dwarves-kit/bin/board brief run --dry-run --force --show-boards
 backlog rows across repos          ~/.claude/dwarves-kit/bin/board status
 what is the sweep doing            ~/.claude/dwarves-kit/bin/board sweep verify --last-tick

When to use

  • A question about board counts, stale or waiting cards, sync health, or what the daily brief says.
  • A request to explain one line of a brief you were shown.

How to answer

  1. Run the command from the table. The operator's flags come from the kit config file ($DWARVES_BOARD_CONFIG, else ~/.config/dwarves-kit/board.json), so no flags beyond the ones shown are needed.
  2. Each output line is one JSON payload per cluster. The lines you read are in .fields[].value; brief payloads also carry .details.
  3. A board over its threshold is a field that reads <board>: N waiting in triage, oldest Nd, and a line +N more boards over threshold when there are more than three. Count those. No such field means no board is over threshold.
  4. A needs your decision block lists questions for the operator. Repeat them as asked. Never answer one yourself.
  5. Say what you ran in one short line, then the answer.

Never

  • Never run board brief run or board health run without --dry-run: a real run posts to a channel and stamps state.
  • Never edit _meta/BACKLOG.md, a kanban card, or the config file from here.
  • Never print a token or a webhook if one shows in an error. Say the command failed and quote the first line with the secret removed.

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.
