estimate

estimate is a skill for Claude Code from johnfkoo951/cmdspace-plugins. It costs 54 tokens per session (411 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A task-estimation skill that analyzes a development task and estimates its complexity, agent-tier distribution, and confidence level.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess how complicated a feature, fix, or other development task may be and how work might be distributed among agents.
Why use it?
It gives you an early sense of the likely effort and uncertainty before work begins. An estimate is an informed approximation, not a guaranteed schedule.

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

estimate 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.

What it actually says

Estimate — Complexity & Effort Estimation

Analyzes a development task and estimates complexity and resource requirements.

Workflow

Step 1: Explore the Scope

Dispatch explorer (Haiku) to:

  • Count affected files and lines of code
  • Identify integration points
  • Map dependencies

Step 2: Analyze Complexity

Dispatch planner (Opus) to evaluate:

  1. Scope Complexity: How many files/components are involved?
  2. Logic Complexity: How difficult is the business logic?
  3. Integration Complexity: How many external systems are touched?
  4. Risk Complexity: How much can go wrong?

Step 3: Output Estimate

## Estimate: [Task Description]

### Complexity Score: [1-10] ([Low/Medium/High/Very High])

### Breakdown
| Factor | Score (1-10) | Notes |
|--------|-------------|-------|
| Scope | [N] | [N files, N components affected] |
| Logic | [N] | [Simple CRUD / Complex algorithms / etc.] |
| Integration | [N] | [N external systems] |
| Risk | [N] | [Data loss risk, breaking changes, etc.] |

### Recommended Approach
- **Execution Mode**: [autopilot / pipeline / focus]
- **Tier Distribution**: Opus [N tasks] / Sonnet [N tasks] / Haiku [N tasks]
- **Agent Count**: [N] agents needed

### Confidence: [High / Medium / Low]
[Explanation of confidence level]

### Caveats
- [What might change the estimate]

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.

estimate is a skill published in the GitHub repository johnfkoo951/cmdspace-plugins (7 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 411 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
