proposal-act

A proposal-management skill for accepting, deferring, dismissing, or resolving a proposal.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with proposal IDs such as `PROP-019` to change their status and choose what happens next.
Why use it?
It gives each proposal a clear outcome and, for accepted work, records whether to implement it now, create a session task, or leave it for manual implementation.

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

proposal-act 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 3d 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 — 304 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Proposal Act

Take action on a proposal: accept, defer, dismiss, or resolve.

Step 0 — Channel reply

If this skill was invoked from a channel-arrived message (the inbound prompt contains a <channel source="..."> tag), reply via that channel's reply tool. Otherwise emit to conversation. On a channel-tagged turn, step 4's bounded ask (below) also queues a durable micro-proposal entry via proposal.ts queue-micro — see channel-responder § Channel-safe ask bridge — so it survives compaction or a session restart.

Usage

/claude-code-hermit:proposal-act accept PROP-019
/claude-code-hermit:proposal-act defer PROP-015
/claude-code-hermit:proposal-act dismiss PROP-012
/claude-code-hermit:proposal-act resolve PROP-008
/claude-code-hermit:proposal-act accept PROP-019 --answer "session task"

The --answer form is not typed by an operator — it's how a channel-safe resolution re-enters step 4 after an out-of-band reply (see § Channel re-entry below).

If no action or ID is provided, ask the operator which proposal and action.

Resolving a Proposal ID

Before reading any proposal file, resolve the operator's input to a filename:

bun ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/proposal.ts resolve-id .claude-code-hermit "<operator input>"
  • MATCH|<filename> — proceed with that file.
  • NONE|not-a-prop-id — error "Not a PROP id."
  • NONE|no-match — error "No proposal matches [input]. Use /proposal-list to see available proposals."
  • AMBIGUOUS|<json array of {file, title}> — show a disambiguation prompt:
    Multiple proposals match PROP-NNN:
      PROP-NNN-capability-brainstorm-103612 — [title of first match]
      PROP-NNN-session-cost-tracking-104207 — [title of second match]
    Reply with the full ID to continue.
    
    Re-resolve with the operator's reply.

Timestamp Convention

All timestamps in frontmatter and Operator Decision text use ISO 8601 with timezone offset (e.g., 2026-04-06T14:30:00+01:00). Use the timezone from config.json if set, otherwise UTC. @now in a proposal.ts patch --set value or in a stdin Decision:/Set: line expands to this stamp — prefer it over composing the timestamp yourself.

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.

proposal-act is a skill published in the GitHub repository gtapps/claude-code-hermit (73 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 8,071 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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.
