pert

pert is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from lemur47/logic. It costs 0 tokens per session (2,057 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) estimation method that combines optimistic, most likely, and pessimistic time estimates into an expected duration and confidence ranges.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for sprint planning, task estimates, vendor timelines, and comparing implementation approaches.
Why use it?
It replaces a guess such as “about ten days” with a structured estimate that shows uncertainty and can account for real-world risks.

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

pert 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.

PERT: Three-Point Estimation with Reality Adjustments

Source: github.com/lemur47/logic

Purpose

Help users produce defensible project estimates using PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) with optional reality adjustments via insight tags. This skill replaces gut-feel single-point estimates with structured three-point estimation and confidence intervals.

When to Use

  • Sprint planning and task estimation
  • Reviewing vendor timelines
  • Comparing implementation approaches
  • Any situation where someone says "it'll take about X days"

Core Formulas

Textbook PERT

Given three estimates:

  • O — Optimistic (everything goes perfectly)
  • M — Most likely (realistic, based on experience)
  • P — Pessimistic (Murphy's Law)
Expected duration:  E = (O + 4M + P) / 6
Standard deviation: σ = (P - O) / 6

Confidence Intervals

68% range:   [E - σ,  E + σ]
95% range:   [E - 2σ, E + 2σ]
99.7% range: [E - 3σ, E + 3σ]

If any lower bound is negative, clamp it to 0.

Reality-Adjusted PERT

Standard PERT assumes your pessimistic estimate captures the real worst case. It rarely does. Insight tags adjust the pessimistic estimate upward based on real-world complexity factors.

Each tag has a multiplier range [min, max]. The user can provide input in two formats:

Format A — Severity (0.0–1.0): Used by the Python API. Interpolates within the tag's range.

tag_multiplier = min + severity × (max - min)

Format B — Direct multiplier (e.g. 1.20×): Used by the web UI at pmo.run. The value is the multiplier itself — no conversion needed. Validate that it falls within the tag's [min, max] range.

How to detect format: If the value is ≤ 1.0, treat it as severity. If the value is > 1.0, treat it as a direct multiplier.

Multiple tags compound:

combined_multiplier = tag1_multiplier × tag2_multiplier × ...
adjusted_P = P × combined_multiplier

Then recalculate E and σ using adjusted_P in place of P.

pert 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 2,057 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.
