polish-beads is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hoangsonww/Forge-Agentic-Coding-CLI. It costs 41 tokens per session (239 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review process for unfinished beads, which are small tracked work items in a software project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to repeatedly check a project's bead list before implementation and between planning rounds.
Why use it?
It finds incomplete instructions, incorrect dependencies, missing tests, duplicate work, and gaps between the plan and the tracked tasks.

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

polish-beads 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

Use the verbatim prompt at .flywheel/prompts/polish-beads.md.

Each round, verify:

  1. Self-containment — a fresh agent can execute without the plan.
  2. Dependencies — depends_on is correct; no missing edges.
  3. Tests — concrete obligations with logging expectations.
  4. Coverage — cross-reference vs .flywheel/plans/*.md.
  5. Duplicates — merge overlapping beads (see dedupe-beads prompt).
  6. Forge invariants — permission gate, LEGAL_TRANSITIONS, UI < 120KB, provider probe ~1.5s.

Stop when two consecutive rounds produce only small corrective edits. If polishing has flatlined after 3 rounds, switch to a fresh session and .flywheel/prompts/fresh-eyes.md.

Final round: run through a different model (e.g. switch Claude ↔ Codex). Different models catch different things.

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.
