Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00018 | $0.01881 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00752 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00376 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00188 |
Grade A, and why
prd-schema 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 239 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
prd.json schema reference from Ralph TUI. Use this when creating, editing, or reviewing .claude/prd/*.json files.
When to Use
Invoke /prd-schema before editing any prd.json file. Invoke /prd-schema validate <path> to check an existing file.
Conversion from Plans
prd.json files are typically created by /tasks-converter from architectural plans (.claude/plans/*-plan.md). The pipeline:
/plan-creator (or /bug-plan-creator, /code-quality-plan-creator)
↓ writes
.claude/plans/{slug}-{hash5}-plan.md
↓ consumed by
/tasks-converter <plan-path>
↓ writes
.claude/prd/<slug>.json
↓ executed by
/tasks-loop or /tasks-swarm or ralph-tui
How plan sections map to prd.json fields:
| Plan Section | prd.json Field |
|---|---|
## Summary |
name, description |
## Files |
One user story per file (typically) |
### Requirements |
acceptanceCriteria[] |
### Reference Implementation |
description (full code copied verbatim) |
### Migration Pattern |
description (before/after code copied verbatim) |
## Dependency Graph |
dependsOn[] (file deps translated to story IDs) |
## Exit Criteria |
acceptanceCriteria[] |
| Plan path | metadata.planReference |
Each story's description must be 100% self-contained — the executor agent receives only the story description, never the source plan. All code, requirements, and verification commands are copied verbatim from the plan into the story.

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.

prd-schema is a skill published in the GitHub repository GantisStorm/essentials-claude-code (90 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed Unlicense. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 1,881 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.

dekko-daemon
Start dekko's background daemon before a session that will run many bare dekko CLI commands via Bash (not the MCP tools) against a large or medium repo. Trigger when you're about to run several dekko CLI invocations in a row on the same repo — a long refactor loop, a batch of query/search/outline calls, or a…
dekko-verify
Sanity-check a suspiciously low or zero call-graph result from dekko (getcallers, getcallees, findusages, impactedtests, unused) before concluding "no callers" or "dead code," or a heritage/throws-provenance result (query supertypes, query subtypes, query throws) that labels something (external) when you expect it to…
dekko-delegate
Brief a subagent with dekko's map before dispatching it into a repo that has a .dekko/ directory. Trigger before any Agent/Task tool call, Workflow agent(), teammate message, or scripted claude -p run that will explore, review, implement, or test in such a repo. A subagent starts with an empty context and no…
dekko-notes
Read and write dekko's symbol-anchored notes in any repo with a .dekko/ directory. Trigger every time you pull a symbol's context (querysymbol, getcontextpack, dekko query/context), right after a non-obvious change, and right after any rename/move/signature edit (to sweep orphaned notes). Notes are durable, committed…
dekko-orient
Use dekko's tools instead of grep/Read whenever a repo has a .dekko/ directory — not just at session start. Trigger before any Grep/Glob/Read of a source file, before a grep/rg/find/cat in Bash, and on any "find/locate/understand this symbol," "what does this file/dir contain," "who calls this," "what will this change…
dekko-review-context
Give a code-review or PR-description flow a structural head start before reading a diff line by line. Trigger when the user asks for a PR description, a pre-merge summary, or invokes a code-review flow (/code-review, /review, or an equivalent) against a diff in a repo with a .dekko/ directory.
