the-hit

the-hit is a skill for Claude Code from kucherenko/gangsta. It costs 39 tokens per session (1,776 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An execution process for carrying out an approved coding plan with multiple workers. It coordinates workers through team leads, applies test-driven development (writing tests as part of the implementation process), collects reports, and escalates problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Dispatching implementation tasks, enforcing tests, coordinating work by codebase area, collecting progress reports, checking results, and escalating blockers.
Why use it?
It lets independent coding tasks run at the same time while keeping them tied to the agreed requirements and verification steps.

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

the-hit 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 11d 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.

The Hit: Execution and Parallel Coding

Overview

Workers and Crew Leads implement the Work Packages defined in the Execution Plan. Crews work simultaneously on their assigned territories, providing Reports (status updates) to the Underboss.

Trigger

Invoked after the Don approves the Execution Plan (Resource Development complete).

Process

Step 1: Underboss Distributes Work Packages

For each territory, the Underboss sends the Crew Lead:

  • The territory definition
  • The assigned Work Packages (ordered by dependency)
  • The relevant Contract sections
  • The applicable Constitution rules

Step 2: Crew Leads Dispatch Workers

Each Crew Lead (invoke gangsta:the-capo) processes their Work Packages:

  1. For each independent Work Package, dispatch a Worker subagent with subagent_type: "soldier" (do NOT use "general" or "general-purpose" — these are not valid in a Gangsta Agents installation), providing:
    • The Work Package brief
    • The Contract clause being implemented
    • Applicable Negative Constraints
    • Territory conventions
    • Prevention reminder: Workers MUST NOT reproduce Gangsta-internal spec identifiers (FR-xxx, NFR-xxx, WP-xxx, where xxx is one or more digits) in source code, tests, comments, or documentation. This is prevention guidance, not a gate.
    • Technical-debt prevention brief (Laundering gate): Laundering will block the Heist on five technical-debt checks. Workers must build today to pass those checks tomorrow:
      1. Copy/paste: do not clone build_setup in 5+ lines across files. If two call sites share logic, extract a helper or parameterize the variation. The duplicate will be caught by jscpd (min-lines 5, min-tokens 35) in Laundering.
      2. Long files: target ≤ 300 source lines per file. Hard block at 500. If a Work Package forces a long file, the Contract must name it and the Don must pre-approve — otherwise split by responsibility.
      3. Test coverage: write tests for every new public function and every modified branch. Laundering compares against the pre-Heist coverage baseline; coverage on modified code may not drop. If the project has a coverage threshold in its config, the run must meet it.
      4. Clean architecture: imports flow downward through layers (domain → application → infrastructure → delivery); no business logic in controllers, route handlers, DB adapters, or network clients; one responsibility per file.
      5. Clean code: remove dead code before reporting; functions ≤ 50 lines (blank/comment excluded); nesting ≤ 4 levels via early returns; no magic numbers in production paths; identifiers must name themselves.
    • Worker Report must self-report against these five points. See Step 4.

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.

the-hit is a skill published in the GitHub repository kucherenko/gangsta (81 stars, last pushed 27d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 1,776 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 2026-08-30.
