claim

claim is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fakoli/fakoli-plugins. It costs 22 tokens per session (380 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for taking exclusive ownership of a ready project task before starting implementation. It checks for file conflicts, records a time-limited claim, and provides a Git branch for the work.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps agents select ready tasks, coordinate parallel work, create task branches, and resume tasks after an interrupted session.
Why use it?
It prevents multiple agents from unknowingly changing the same files or duplicating the same task.

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

claim 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 1mo 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

Claim

Resolve this plugin's installed root from the loaded skill path. Prefer its bin/fakoli-state launcher when no matching CLI is on PATH; run from the user's project or pass the command's --cwd argument. Read --help when a flag is uncertain. Use only tools exposed by the current host. For native MCP calls, supply the target project's absolute cwd; the server's startup directory is the installed package.

  1. Inspect status, next and show TASK_ID. Check approved PRD status, ready task status, dependencies, acceptance criteria and overlapping file scope.
  2. Run claim TASK_ID --actor ACTOR (add --worktree when isolated git work is appropriate). Read the returned claim ID, branch/worktree and lease expiry. Task IDs and claim IDs are different identifiers.
  3. Work only within the claimed scope. Renew with renew CLAIM_ID --actor ACTOR before the reported lease expires; use the host's supported scheduling or execution loop rather than promising an unstarted background timer.
  4. For completed work, use the execute skill to submit evidence. To relinquish unfinished work, run release CLAIM_ID --actor ACTOR --reason REASON.

Never steal another live claim with --force merely to unblock yourself. Coordinate shared files through the available agent mechanism; do not assume any named crew agent exists. Expired claims cannot be renewed retroactively: inspect current state and reacquire ownership before resuming.

CLI --help is authoritative for lease and actor flags. Hooks are supplementary: check their actual availability before relying on automatic file tracking.

See README for setup and the full CLI/MCP surfaces.

Changes

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.
