diamond-progress

diamond-progress is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from haabe/mycelium. It costs 36 tokens per session (8,959 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A workflow for moving a product project, called a diamond, from one phase to the next. It checks required theory gates, validates supporting evidence, and runs a Definition of Done checklist when delivery is complete.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to progress project phases, review gate status, validate evidence, and confirm that delivery requirements are complete before marking the project finished.
Why use it?
It prevents a project from advancing without the required evidence and completion checks. A Definition of Done is a concrete list of conditions that must be met before work is considered finished.

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 B, and why

diamond-progress scanned grade B 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 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 490 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Diamond Progress Skill

Progress a diamond through phases with full theory gate validation. At delivery completion, runs an executable checklist that GATES progression.

Preflight: Read target canvas file(s) before any Write/Edit

Hard rule. Before issuing Write or Edit against any .claude/canvas/*.yml, use the Read tool on that file in this session. Claude Code's Read-before-Write check requires the Read tool specifically — cat/head/grep via Bash do NOT satisfy it.

Preflight: Read-before-Recommend (gate-narration discipline)

Hard rule (per CLAUDE.md Communication Rules, anti-pattern #7 graduation v0.39.16). Every gate-status narration, blocker statement, hold claim, theory-gate verdict, or transition-blocked finding this skill emits MUST cite the canvas file + field path of the source evidence. Adjacent-surface inference (different opportunity, different ht, different topic) MUST be tagged as inference, not asserted as gate state. Companion to the Read-before-Write rule above: that one protects what gets WRITTEN to canvas; this one protects what gets CLAIMED about canvas state in the skill's narration.

Edit vs Write — different cost profiles (verified 2026-05-14):

  • Edit (exact-string replacement): Read with limit: 1 satisfies the check at ~50 tokens. State-tracking is per-file, not per-byte — subsequent Edit calls work anywhere in the file. Use this for partial updates against large canvas files (e.g., purpose.yml at 800+ lines).
  • Write (full replacement): do a full Read first. Write obliterates the file; you should see what you're about to replace. The limit:1 shortcut is not appropriate here.

ID-bearing entries — scan the ID space before assigning (added 2026-05-15, v0.23.19): When adding a new component, opportunity, solution, or any other ID-bearing entry to a canvas file, run a Bash grep first to confirm the next ID in your prefix sequence is actually free:

grep -o "<prefix>-[0-9][0-9]*" .claude/canvas/<file>.yml | sort -u -t- -k2 -n | tail -3

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.

diamond-progress is a skill published in the GitHub repository haabe/mycelium (45 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 8,959 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
