DYLA-ai: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/estimate/SKILL.md

estimate is a skill for Claude Code from Federico-Anastasi/DYLA-ai. It costs 38 tokens per session (3,326 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning tool that turns a project brief into a work plan measured in days. It records epics, tasks, one end-to-end test row per epic, and contingency time in estimate.json.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to estimate application work from a brief, including task breakdowns, end-to-end testing, and schedule contingency.
Why use it?
It gives a structured delivery estimate without making you manually break a brief into tasks and tests. It also preserves the plan in a file that can be reviewed alongside the conversation.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions Codex.

This is Federico-Anastasi/DYLA-ai's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on DYLA-ai itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything DYLA-ai configures →

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

estimate 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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 261 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/estimate — The estimate

Turns the brief into a work plan measured in days: epics, the tasks inside them, an end-to-end test row per epic, and a contingency.


UX: chat stays conversational. The deliverable is never presented as a markdown table in chat — the user reads the table in the viewer next to the chat, from estimate.json. In chat you discuss it in words, referring to tasks by id and name (e.g. "E2.T3, the detail view"): the id alone is unreadable, the name is what makes the sentence land. In the other direction the user does not have to type ids: every row in the viewer has a chat icon that sends you a ready-made [REFERENCE] with their question — point them at that button when they are vague about which row they mean. When you cite a chapter of the brief, write [[brief:Chapter title]]: it renders as a clickable reference that opens the document at that point.

PROTOCOL

  1. Read context.md — is there a data model? Has the Q&A been done?
  2. Read the brief
  3. If the estimate already exists: ask "The estimate already exists. Regenerate it, or edit it?"
  4. If there is no Q&A: run the Q&A (BLOCKING)
  5. If there is no data model: carry on, but say so — "estimating without a validated data model, so this will be rougher"
  6. Build the estimate (see PHASE 3)
  7. Write estimate.json straight away with meta.status: "draft" (validated against schemas/estimate.schema.json)
  8. Present a conversational summary of the draft (BLOCKING — wait for confirmation or edits)
  9. On confirmation: set meta.status: "confirmed"
  10. Update context.md
  11. Check consistency

PHASE 1 — READING

Read ALL of these before you go on:

  • the brief: projects/{project}/brief.json, or the input document (brief.md, or its extracted text under .extracted/ if it is a PDF or a Word file)
  • projects/{project}/meetings/* — if the project source is discovery: the real requirements are in the transcripts before they are in the brief
  • projects/{project}/docs/* — client documents (md, pdf, docx, xlsx, images; binaries have their text extracted under .extracted/)
  • projects/{project}/context.md
  • projects/{project}/data_model.json — if it exists
  • projects/{project}/estimate.json — if it exists
  • knowledge/ — if the folder exists: your own estimation rules, per-component baselines, team calibration, client conventions. See estimation-rules.md next to this file for how to put them there

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.
