speculate: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/tbd/SKILL.md

tbd is a skill for Claude Code from jlevy/speculate. It costs 55 tokens per session (1,188 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A lightweight issue tracker that stores tasks and bugs in Git, the version-control system commonly used for code. It also records relationships between tasks, such as prerequisites.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, plan, update, and track issues; synchronize them; and close completed work alongside commits, pushes, and CI checks.
Why use it?
It keeps planning and task status close to the code and helps agents recover context between sessions.

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

tbd 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 1mo 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.

tbd Workflow

tbd provides lightweight, git-native task and issue tracking using beads, which are just lightweight issues managed from the CLI.

Context Recovery: Run tbd prime after compaction, clear, or new session. Hooks auto-call this in Claude Code when .tbd/ detected.

SESSION CLOSING PROTOCOL

CRITICAL: Before saying “done” or “complete”, you MUST run this checklist:

[ ] 1. Stage and commit: git add + git commit
[ ] 2. Push to remote: git push
[ ] 3. Start CI watch (BLOCKS until done): gh pr checks <PR> --watch 2>&1
[ ] 4. While CI runs: tbd close/update <id> for issues worked on
[ ] 5. While CI runs: tbd sync
[ ] 6. Return to step 3 and CONFIRM CI passed
[ ] 7. If CI failed: fix, re-push, restart from step 3

NON-NEGOTIABLE Requirements

CI: Wait for --watch to finish

The --watch flag blocks until ALL checks complete. Do NOT see “passing” in early output and move on—wait for the final summary showing all checks passed.

tbd: Update issues and sync

Every session must end with tbd in a clean state:

  • Close/update every issue you worked on
  • Run tbd sync and confirm it completed

Work is not done until pushed, CI passes, and tbd is synced.

Core Rules

  • Track all task work not being done immediately as beads using tbd (discovered work, future work, TODOs for the session, multi-session work)
  • When in doubt, prefer tbd for tracking tasks, bugs, and issues
  • Use tbd create for creating beads
  • Git workflow: update or close issues and run tbd sync at session end
  • If not given specific directions, check tbd ready for available work

Essential Commands

Finding Work

  • tbd ready - Show issues ready to work (no blockers)
  • tbd list --status open - All open issues
  • tbd list --status in_progress - Your active work
  • tbd show <id> - Detailed issue view with dependencies

Creating & Updating

  • tbd create "title" --type task|bug|feature --priority P2 - New issue
    • Priority: P0-P4 (P0=critical, P2=medium, P4=backlog). Do NOT use "high"/"medium"/"low"
  • tbd update <id> --status in_progress - Claim work
  • tbd update <id> --assignee username - Assign to someone
  • tbd close <id> - Mark complete
  • tbd close <id> --reason "explanation" - Close with reason
  • Tip: When creating multiple issues, use parallel subagents for efficiency

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.
