overheard

overheard is a skill for Claude Code from ghostwright/phantom. It costs 24 tokens per session (1,138 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A promises audit that searches recent Slack, email, and message history for commitments the user made and checks whether they were completed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify recent promises such as sending something or replying by a deadline, verify later evidence of completion, and suggest actions for the important gaps.
Why use it?
It helps find follow-ups that may have been forgotten without producing a long list of every conversation.

About the project

Phantom is an AI co-worker that operates its own computer, maintains persistent memory, uses MCP tools, and builds software and infrastructure in its workspace. It is for people who want an agent that can continue work across sessions through Slack or web chat while keeping its workspace separate from the user's computer. The catalogue skills and instruction support workflows for Phantom.

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

overheard scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Strips warnings and disclaimerslowAnti-refusal

Omitting safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

- Never moralize about broken commitments. The tone is "here is what I saw", not "here is what you should do".

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Overheard: the promises audit

Goal

Find promises the user made in conversations (in Slack, in email, in messages) that start with phrases like "I'll send", "I will", "let me get back to you", "by Friday", "next week", "I'll follow up", and check whether there is evidence in subsequent memory of follow-through. Surface the gaps as a promises audit, with context for each and a draft action.

The shadow backlog most people carry. The user does not need to be reminded of every forgotten ping; they need the two or three that actually matter.

Steps

1. Pull the last 14 days of memory

Call mcp__phantom-reflective__phantom_memory_search with query: "I will", days_back: 14, limit: 30. Then call it again with query: "let me" and merge. Then query: "follow up", and merge. Then query: "by Friday" and merge. The merge should deduplicate by episode id.

Success criteria: you have a pool of recent episodes that contain commitment language.

2. Extract candidate commitments

For each episode, read the detail and pull out phrases where the user was the one making the commitment, not receiving one. Common patterns:

  • "I will send you..."
  • "Let me get back to you on..."
  • "I'll check with and let you know."
  • "By Friday I'll have..."
  • "Next week I'll..."
  • "I'll follow up on..."

Skip commitments that are clearly to yourself, to the agent, or to no one in particular ("I will make more coffee"). Skip commitments that the user has already negated ("I thought I'd send X but actually I'm not going to").

Success criteria: you have a list of 5-15 candidate commitments with the original context, who the promise was to (if known), and when it was made.

3. Check for follow-through

For each candidate, search memory again for follow-up evidence. The query is a short paraphrase of what was promised. Example: if the commitment was "I'll send Anna the revised doc by Friday", search for "send Anna doc" or "revised doc Anna" with days_back: 14.

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.
