evm

evm is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from lemur47/logic. It costs 0 tokens per session (4,012 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-tracking method called Earned Value Management (EVM) that compares planned work, completed work, schedule, and spending using four calculated measures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for mid-project health checks, sponsor reports, early detection of schedule or cost problems, and decisions about deadlines, scope, or staffing.
Why use it?
It replaces vague status updates and traffic-light dashboards with evidence about whether a project is late, ahead, over budget, or under budget.

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

evm 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.

EVM: Earned Value Management for Project Health Tracking

Source: github.com/lemur47/logic

Purpose

Help users answer one question: "Are we on track?" using Earned Value Management metrics. This skill replaces gut-feel status reporting and traffic-light dashboards with four computed numbers (SV, SPI, CV, CPI) that tell you exactly where a project stands — in schedule and in budget — at any point in time.

EVM is the performance counterpart to PERT. PERT asks "how long will it take?" before the project starts. EVM asks "are we on track?" once it's running.

When to Use

  • Mid-project health checks ("we're 3 months in, are we OK?")
  • Sponsor/steering committee reporting with actual data
  • Detecting schedule or cost problems before they become crises
  • Evaluating whether 人海戦術 (adding headcount) is helping or hurting
  • Deciding whether to re-baseline, descope, or extend the deadline
  • Any situation where someone says "I think we're roughly on track"

Terminology — The 4 Inputs

EVM has four inputs. Everything else is computed. Never confuse input with output.

Abbr Full Name What It Means Who Provides It
BAC Budget at Completion Total planned budget for the entire project Set once at baseline, frozen
PV Planned Value How much work should be done by now, in budget terms Derived from schedule: BAC × (% of schedule elapsed)
EV Earned Value How much work is actually done, valued at planned rates Sum of (planned cost of each completed deliverable × its % complete)
AC Actual Cost What was actually spent on the work performed From accounting, timesheets, or invoices

Critical distinction: EV is not what was spent. EV is the planned budget for the work that's been completed. If a $10,000 deliverable is 50% done, EV = $5,000 regardless of whether you actually spent $3,000 or $8,000 on it.

PV shortcut (linear assumption): If you don't have a detailed planned-value curve, use: PV = BAC × (months elapsed / total months). This assumes work is evenly distributed — good enough for most conversational health checks.

evm is a skill published in the GitHub repository lemur47/logic (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 4,012 tokens. 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.
