About the project

pstack-claude is a set of opinionated coding-agent skills and workflows ported from Cursor to Claude Code, Codex, Pi, and other agent harnesses. It guides agents toward concise, simple, and verified code by routing goals to suitable workflows and supporting subagent tools. The catalogue entries are the project's skills, agents, hook, and plugin implementations for these agent environments.

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

deslop 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.

What it actually says

Remove AI code slop

Check the diff against main and remove AI-generated slop introduced in the branch.

Focus Areas

  • Extra comments that are unnecessary or inconsistent with local style
  • Defensive checks or try/catch blocks that are abnormal for trusted code paths
  • Casts to any used only to bypass type issues
  • Deeply nested code that should be simplified with early returns
  • Other patterns inconsistent with the file and surrounding codebase

Guardrails

  • Keep behavior unchanged unless fixing a clear bug.
  • Prefer minimal, focused edits over broad rewrites.
  • Keep the final summary concise (1-3 sentences).
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.
