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

reflect 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/claude-project-dir.mjs, scripts/find-transcript.mjs), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Mine the current conversation for durable learnings, then route them into skill edits.

Invoke when the user says "reflect" or "/reflect". Skip when the conversation is trivial, off-topic, or already covered by an existing skill the parent followed correctly. One-offs are not learnings.

1. Locate the active transcript

Before fanning out, find this conversation's transcript in Claude Code's per-project transcripts directory at ${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}/projects/<encoded-cwd>/. Do not glob across ${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}/projects/. That crosses workspace boundaries and reads private chats from unrelated projects.

Run the finder at skills/reflect/scripts/find-transcript.mjs under the installed plugin with the projects directory and a fragment of the conversation's opening user prompt. claude-project-dir.mjs beside it prints this session's projects directory, wherever the shell has moved since:

dir=$(node <plugin>/skills/reflect/scripts/claude-project-dir.mjs) && node <plugin>/skills/reflect/scripts/find-transcript.mjs "$dir" "<opening prompt fragment>"

It covers the three layouts (flat <id>.jsonl, nested <id>/<id>.jsonl, subagent <parent>/subagents/<child>.jsonl), newest first, and prints the first path whose opening typed prompt carries the fragment. Do not reimplement the scan by hand: the first line of a transcript is session metadata, not a message, a session that starts with /clear or a ! shell command records that command's wrapper and output as user records before the prompt, and files run to several megabytes, so the finder streams each candidate and stops at its first typed user record. If the line exits 1, write a tight digest of the session and pass that instead. It lists, one line each in turn order, the user's prompts and corrections, the tool calls and their results, and the files touched. It states no diagnosis, verdict, or cause. The reviewers judge the session, not your conclusions about it.

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
