hdd

hdd is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Kastalien-Research/thoughtbox. It costs 29 tokens per session (160 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A retired approach called Hypothesis-Driven Development, which used architecture decision records to document development decisions. Its documentation directs users to a newer workflow based on specifications and recorded claims.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it only to understand older project decisions; for current specifications and pull-request claims, follow the replacement workflow named in its description.
Why use it?
It prevents new work from relying on an obsolete process or adding files to the retired ADR location.

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

hdd 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.

What it actually says

HDD (Deprecated)

Hypothesis-Driven Development with ADR lifecycle is retired. Use:

  1. .claude/skills/workflow/SKILL.md — Stage 2 produces or updates .specs/**/*.md with YAML frontmatter claims (.schemas/spec-v1.json).
  2. PR claimsprs/<branch>.json references spec_claim_id as SPEC-ID:cN.
  3. Historical ADRsdocs/decisions/archive/adr/ (read-only context).

Do not create new files under .adr/.

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.
