project-awareness

A project-status lookup workflow that gathers a project's current state, owner, recent activity, and important links from company information.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for finding who owns a project, what is happening with it, and where it currently stands.
Why use it?
It helps answer quick project questions without preparing a full handoff report, while accounting for outdated or unreliable information.

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

project-awareness 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 2d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to project-awareness — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 140 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Project Awareness

When users ask about projects, their status, or ownership, use Glean to quickly gather relevant context.

Determine the project or topic from the user's request. If no project name is clear, ask the user which project they mean before proceeding.

Tools

This skill drives the standard Glean MCP tools. For full param shape and pitfalls of chat, search, employee_search, and meeting_lookup, see the using-glean reference at using-glean/reference/.

When This Applies

Use this approach when users ask:

  • "What's the status of [project]?"
  • "Who owns [project]?"
  • "What's happening with [project]?"
  • "Where does [project] stand?"
  • "Who's working on [project]?"
  • Quick project context questions

For full handoff documents, suggest the project-handoff skill instead. For questions about the user's own work, suggest the productivity skills.

BE SKEPTICAL

Not all project info is current or reliable. Before presenting information, evaluate:

Currency Test

  • Is this information fresh?
  • ✅ INCLUDE: Updated in last 2 weeks
  • ⚠️ CONTEXT: Last 2-4 weeks (note it's aging)
  • ❌ EXCLUDE: Older than 1 month (status likely stale)

Authority Test

  • Is this from an official source?
  • ✅ INCLUDE: From project lead, official docs, tracking systems
  • ⚠️ CONTEXT: From team members (secondary source)
  • ❌ EXCLUDE: Informal mentions, dated secondhand reports

Ownership Test

  • Is the current owner clear?
  • ✅ INCLUDE: Explicitly assigned owner in system
  • ⚠️ CONTEXT: Appears to be owner but not confirmed
  • ❌ EXCLUDE: Unknown or orphaned projects

Cross-Reference Check

  • Do sources agree?
  • ✅ INCLUDE: Multiple sources confirm status
  • ⚠️ CONTEXT: Single source, note confidence level
  • ❌ EXCLUDE: Conflicting information (needs clarification)

Filter Out:

  • Projects that appear abandoned (no activity for >3 months)
  • Status without context (just "active" is meaningless)
  • Owner info you cannot confirm

If unsure: Mark as "Status Unknown - Recommend checking with [owner]"

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.
