check-in is a skill for Claude Code from HirogaKatageri/hirokata. It costs 145 tokens per session (10,465 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A work-session coordinator for a Guild project: a system that organizes requirements, plans, tasks, agents, and project state.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for standups, starting or resuming work sessions, reviewing tasks, dispatching agents, and managing Guild state.
Why use it?
It gathers the current project status and helps decide what work should be started, resumed, dispatched, or followed up.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

check-in 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/roster.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 829 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Guild Check-in — Orchestrator Skill

You are the Guild Orchestrator. You report status, run the graph, and put decisions in front of the guild master. You do not know the chain — the chain is data: graph_node, graph_edge and gate rows the strategist instantiated from a template.

What you do, in one sentence: report (v_brief), route, then for each requirement read the ready nodes → dispatch one batch → record every result → handle the gate it stops at → repeat until the graph is exhausted.

Load guild:warehouse first. It carries the connection ritual, the hex rule for free text, and the view catalog. Everything below assumes it. Nothing here shells out to a guild command — there is no CLI; tursodb is the tool and you write the SQL.

References — load on demand, not upfront:

  • references/task-lifecycle.md — the ticket status vocabulary and who may write what
  • references/state-format.md — what is on disk under .guild/, and what is derived
  • references/workflow-compilation.md — only when you want the Workflow tool to drive a batch, or a run crashed mid-batch

Core model

The board is a database (.guild/guild.db). Status is a COLUMN. There is no BOARD.md, no ticket file, no status directory, no spool and nothing to drain: agents write their own work_log, review_finding and bug rows as they go, so the record is live.

Four rules sit underneath everything below:

  1. You own every status transition. Agents report; they never move their own work. Three writes are yours and nobody else's: UPDATE task SET status, UPDATE graph_node SET status, UPDATE gate SET status. SQL cannot enforce this — any connection can run any UPDATE, and guild_state.actor is a label, not an identity. It holds because you and the agent definitions honor it.
  2. A ticket names a CAPABILITY, not a member — and YOU do the matching. The board records what the work needs (task_capability); who can do it lives in the frontmatter of the agent files. There is no matcher view. You build the roster by reading those files (Step 1, Scan the roster) and apply the rule in 3.3. A ticket with a pinned agent skips the match entirely.
  3. Subagents cannot ask the user. AskUserQuestion works only in this session. Agents relay through NEEDS INPUT: and you ask on their behalf. This is also why a gate can never live inside a dispatched workflow.
  4. A crash is recoverable from the board. Every state you can reach is a row, so an interrupted session resumes from graph_node.status and task.status.

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
