promote-draft is a skill for Claude Code from jtsternberg/claude-plugins. It costs 43 tokens per session (1,434 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for moving a finished draft from a temporary collaboration folder into its permanent location, with an optional filename cleanup.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to place a draft in a blog, project document, code directory, or another specified destination.
Why use it?
It removes the manual relocation step while preserving the draft and pointing to the next step, such as adding it to Git.

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

promote-draft 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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 110 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

promote-draft

Companion to temp-draft skill. Once a draft in /tmp/collab-tools/ is ready to live somewhere permanent — a blog post directory, a project doc, an email file, a code snippet in a repo — this skill moves it out of the staging dir, optionally renames off the "drafty" filename, and surfaces the right next step (typically git add).

The default source location is /tmp/collab-tools/ (where temp-draft writes). The user can also pass an explicit source path from anywhere in the filesystem — useful for drafts that started somewhere else or were created in a prior session.

The same content-stays-in-the-file philosophy applies: the file is the deliverable, chat stays lean. Do not paste the draft contents during this skill.

When to use this

Use this skill when:

  • The user invokes /promote-draft directly.
  • The user explicitly says "move the draft to X", "promote that draft", "land the draft", "the draft is done — put it in ", or any equivalent.
  • The user finished iterating on a temp-draft in editor and now references where it should live.

Don't use this skill for:

  • General file moves unrelated to a temp-draft.
  • Copying drafts — this skill moves, it does not duplicate.
  • Renaming a file in place. If they just want a rename, use Bash with mv.

Procedure

1. Identify the source file

Decide in this order:

  1. Argument is an explicit path — use it. The source can be anywhere in the filesystem when the user names it directly. Don't restrict to /tmp/collab-tools/ in this case.

  2. The current conversation created a temp-draft — use that path. Look back through this session's tool calls for a Write to a /tmp/collab-tools/* path or an eval "${EDITOR:-vi}" '/tmp/collab-tools/...' invocation; that's almost certainly the file.

  3. Otherwise, list candidates from the temp-draft staging directory and ask the user which to promote:

    ls -lt /tmp/collab-tools/ 2>/dev/null | head -10
    

    Show the candidates and ask. Don't guess if more than one is plausible. If the directory is empty or doesn't exist, tell the user there's nothing to promote and stop — don't go fishing through other /tmp paths uninvited.

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.

promote-draft is a skill published in the GitHub repository jtsternberg/claude-plugins (5 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 1,434 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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.
