    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

ops-desk 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 215 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

OPS ► DESK SWEEP

Load ops-rules before acting. Public repo (no personal data). Outbound: one draft → one approval → one send. If AskUserQuestion / Workflow are missing, follow Rule 10 in ops-rules (Hermes: numbered options / two-turn Telegram card; delegate_task).

Goal: everything sitting on the owner's desk — pending decisions, staged drafts awaiting approval, unpaid invoices to chase, documents to sign, blocked issues needing an owner action — becomes a ranked queue of ready-to-approve action packages, then gets worked down one item at a time. The success metric is the same spirit as inbox-zero: an empty desk, with every remaining item either executed, decided, or parked with an explicit reason and a reminder.

When to use ops-desk vs ops-inbox

  • /ops:ops-inbox — fresh inbound comms (who wrote me, what needs a reply).
  • /ops:ops-desk — the standing backlog (what am I blocking, what decision is waiting on me, what draft is staged, what must I sign/pay/approve). Run it after an inbox pass, or whenever the owner says "what's left / get this off my desk".

Step 1 — Build the item list (unless passed explicitly in ``)

  1. Task tracker (SSOT). Whichever the box uses, in order of preference:
    • Paperclippaperclip issue list -C <company-id> for each company in ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA_DIR}/preferences.json → paperclip.companies[], falling back to paperclip company list. Keep status=blocked|todo|in_progress issues whose title/description implies an OWNER action — matcher: decision, owner decision, approve, sign, pay, chase, staged, awaiting owner, Rule-6.
    • Linearmcp__linear__list_issues filtered to the owner as assignee, when Paperclip is absent.
    • GitHubgh issue list --assignee @me as last resort.
  2. Inbox residue. Genuine NEEDS_REPLY plus todo/action-labeled emails surviving the most recent /ops:ops-inbox pass (run bin/ops-inbox-scan with OIS_NO_REFRESH=1 if one already ran this session).
  3. Dedupe against items already handled this session, and collapse duplicate issues tracking the same underlying ask (mirror boards, Linear↔Paperclip twins).
  4. Shape each item as {key, refs: [issue identifiers], hint} where hint states the concrete question to answer AND what must be verified (never trust the issue title alone).

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.
