work-protocol

work-protocol is a skill for Claude Code from HiAgencia/hi-claude. It costs 305 tokens per session (2,855 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing guide for project documentation, code comments, and commit messages. It defines where written information belongs and how to record facts without turning documents into a history log.

In plain words
What is it for?
Writing or revising documentation, README files, code comments, and commit messages under the project's stated rules.
Why use it?
It helps keep project writing useful for future sessions and avoids unsupported claims, outdated notes, and fixed verdicts.

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

work-protocol 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 9d 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.

Work protocol (hi-claude)

How it gets WRITTEN

This skill carries the WRITING axis of the method. The principles themselves are defined in the Constitution, which every session already carries — here is how a violation is spotted in a draft.

Spotted in a draft Rewrite it as
a door closed on a future session — any of the shapes the Constitution forbids the state OBSERVED, plus the condition that would reopen it
a cause or an intent asserted without evidence, or a grade where a measurement belongs the fact and its evidence, no verdict of value
something that expires — a date, a state, a moment the invariant behind it, or it goes unwritten
a line already written that stopped being true, or that no future session would open delete it — see PRUNED below; git keeps what leaves
  • A measured result is a DATUM with its N and its method, REOPENABLE — never a closed verdict. What was measured and not adopted is recorded with the evidence that closed it, and with the condition that would reopen it.
  • Documentation does NOT accumulate history. Each line is judged by whether it serves a FUTURE session. What describes what already happened — an executed plan, a "✅ done", the chronicle of what changed and why — is DELETED. Its design lives in the work itself and in the commits.
  • Pending vs context: a pending register (ROADMAP.md) carries only what is missing and how it relates to other pendings; when an item closes it is DELETED, not marked done. What is structural — architecture, doctrine, contracts — is not a pending: it lives in the context documents.

How it gets COMMUNICATED

  • This is read by an AI: imperative, no narrative, no filler, no war stories. Metric before prose.
  • Explain only what changes a decision. Zero tokens on what does not.
  • Do not write what is visible by looking at the repo (the file tree, module names, what a docstring already says). The tokens go to GOTCHAS: what bites and cannot be deduced.

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.

work-protocol is a skill published in the GitHub repository HiAgencia/hi-claude (2 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 305 tokens to every session and 2,855 once invoked, about $0.0015 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 2026-08-31.
