put-down

put-down is a skill for Claude Code from juxt/claude-plugins. It costs 77 tokens per session (688 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A session-closing procedure that records unfinished work, answers, questions, and discovered tasks on the relevant issue. An issue is a tracked work item that later sessions can read.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for updating an issue, recording open questions, and creating or linking related work before pausing.
Why use it?
It prevents important reasoning from disappearing when a coding session ends, so the next session can continue from the issue rather than the chat history.

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

put-down 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 4d 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 — 59 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Put-down

Interpret MUST, MUST NOT, SHOULD, SHOULD NOT, MAY, etc. per RFC 2119.

The code state survives a session on its own; the analysis state does not. What the session learned, the questions it left open and the work it discovered all evaporate when it ends, unless they are on the issue.

The success criteria for this skill is that the next session can resume from the issue and its links alone.

Before you start

  • Load chalk:issue, which loads chalk:voice and carries the description's palette, the correction rules, the weeding loop and the filing mechanics.

  • Ground it in the repo, not the transcript. git status, git log and the branch say what landed; the transcript only says what was attempted.

  • Read the session's plan, where chalk:pick-up started one. What the issue's next reader needs from it — open questions, and decisions that bear on the problem — reaches the issue through chalk:issue's own path below.

1. Ensure the description is correct and up-to-date.

Through chalk:issue's own path: Correcting the description, Open questions, then Weed the draft. Put-down adds no second shape for the description.

  • Every open note goes in, IDs unchanged, whatever types the session holds. A note answered this session is deleted, its answer moved to wherever it now belongs.

Each piece of work the session found but didn't become a candidate for an issue, filed through chalk:issue, unless one already exists.

If it is in any way unclear, you MUST confirm with the user which ones they want raising.

  • Parent/child relationships MUST be wired in the tracker, as must blocked-by where the tracker models it. A child known only from a mention in the parent's text doesn't show up in the tracker's own view of the parent.

  • A card this work turned out to wait on gets the dependency written onto it, through chalk:issue's own path, and not only the edge.

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.

put-down is a skill published in the GitHub repository juxt/claude-plugins (10 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 77 tokens to every session and 688 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-10-04.
