Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: argument-hint in frontmatter.

This is huifer/zeus's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on zeus itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything zeus configures →

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

zeus-status 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 7d 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

Zeus Status - Global Health Report

Render a deterministic snapshot across active versions and recommend the next best action.

Preconditions

  • .zeus/main/config.json exists.
  • All referenced version folders are readable.

Deterministic workflow

1) Load project state

Read:

  • .zeus/main/config.json
  • each active version's config.json, prd.json, task.json, feedback/*, evolution.md
  • recent AI logs (up to 5)

2) Compute report metrics

For each version compute:

  • story totals and pass state,
  • task totals and completion percentage,
  • current/next pending wave,
  • recent completed task titles.

For global scope compute:

  • latest feedback attributions,
  • latest evolution events,
  • latest AI log highlights.

3) Select next-action recommendation

Decision table:

  • missing config -> /zeus:init
  • codebase map exists but config not imported -> /zeus:init --import-existing
  • no tasks -> /zeus:brainstorm --full
  • pending tasks -> /zeus:execute
  • tasks complete but no feedback -> /zeus:feedback
  • evolution signal unresolved -> /zeus:evolve
  • stable -> /zeus:brainstorm --feature <next-feature>

Brownfield freshness recommendation:

  • if .zeus/{version}/codebase-map.json is stale relative to recent repository changes, recommend /zeus:discover --version {version} before planning.

4) Render output

Render concise or full format depending on --brief.

5) Optional health index

If metric weights and enough feedback data exist, compute weighted health score trend.

Output contract

  • clear version-by-version progress,
  • clear recommendation with rationale,
  • no ambiguous next step.

Agent collaboration

Use zeus-docs for consistency checks on report terminology and formatting quality.

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.
