In plain words
What is it for?
It is for recording work at approved lifecycle boundaries, including handoffs, completion, pull requests and standalone pull-request creation.
Why use it?
It keeps an auditable account of what happened without confusing historical notes with current execution state or telemetry.

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

spectre-work-record 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 16d 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-record

Purpose

Truthful work history; workflow state/telemetry own live progress. Capture never changes delivery, verification or acceptance authority.

Inputs

  • Exact run/work identity and applicable branch, PR or repository/base/head/diff association; observed lifecycle, account, entry points, tag intent and prior revision.
  • Owned boundary: one Execute start/completion; meaningful blocked handoff/resolution when authority, control or context prevents safe continuation/resumption; Ship after PR creation; standalone Create PR terminal write only without an Execute/Ship owner; explicit snapshot/correction, including outside workflows.

Working Set

  • Reuse applicable discoveries/loads; refine only unresolved questions. Read references/work-capture-input.json and ${PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/spectre-capture/references/tagging-policy.md.
  • Use acquired entry points; focus-read as needed: path, symbol/document section, observed positive line, role. Explain unavailable/non-code portions, including uncreated start locations; never invent locations or dump files.

Outputs + DONE

Short title/routing summary and required identity/provenance/status metadata, derived reliably. Complementary fields:

  • requestedOutcome: request; scope: boundaries.
  • actualChanges: delivered behavior/artifacts; reasons: non-obvious rationale/trade-offs. Start/blocked accounts distinguish delivered from undelivered.
  • discoveries: findings and maintained-authority links; relatedContext: typed entry points and bounded references.
  • verification: observed checks; remainingWork: residual implementation. Structured verification and PR lifecycle remain authoritative.

State absence truthfully; omit filler, duplicated narrative/state. New/revised accounts stay under 2,000 estimated rendered tokens; reference evidence, not logs.

DONE: permitted boundary has a truthful account or surfaced skip/no-op/conflict/failure, with exact work ID, revision and canonical recordPath when applicable.

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.
