cc-crossbeam: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/long-running-agent/SKILL.md

long-running-agent is a skill for Claude Code from mikeOnBreeze/cc-crossbeam. It costs 44 tokens per session (923 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for turning a project plan or specification into phases and tasks for an agent that works across multiple sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create task structures and prompts for autonomous work, with explicit feature lists, progress tracking, checkpoints, and rules such as not deleting tests.
Why use it?
Long projects can lose track of completed work or skip important checks. This approach keeps progress visible and adds verification points between phases.

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

long-running-agent 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 10d 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.

Long-Running Agent Setup

Convert specs and planning documents into phase-based task structures for autonomous multi-session execution.

When to Use This Skill

  • User has a spec or planning doc to execute with a long-running agent
  • User wants to break down a project into phases with verification checkpoints
  • User wants to create a claude-prompt.md for autonomous task execution

Source of Truth

Before doing anything, fetch and read this blog post for the core patterns: https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/effective-harnesses-for-long-running-agents

This blog from Anthropic's engineering team defines the effective patterns. Apply them directly.

Core Workflow

1. Gather Inputs

Request from the user:

  • Spec/Planning Doc: The document to convert (required)
  • Project Name: Short identifier
  • Output Location: Where to create files

2. Read the Blog

Fetch the Anthropic blog post above. The key patterns are:

  • Phase-based work with verification checkpoints
  • Explicit feature/task enumeration (granular, testable items)
  • Task file as progress tracker
  • Git checkpointing after each task
  • Strong constraints (no test deletion, no skipping phases)

3. Decompose into Phases and Tasks

Break the spec into:

Phases (3-8 typically):

  • Logical groupings of related work
  • Each phase has verification steps to test completion
  • Agent completes ALL tasks in a phase, then stops for user verification

Tasks (per phase):

  • Granular, implementable units
  • Each task has specific steps
  • Uses passes: true/false to track completion

Example structure from a real project:

Phase 1: Project Foundation (3 tasks)
  - setup-001: Initialize project structure
  - setup-002: Create environment config
  - types-001: Define core interfaces
  Verification: "Run npx tsc --noEmit, confirm no errors"

Phase 2: Storage & Skills (5 tasks)
  - storage-001: Create storage interface
  - skill-001 to skill-004: Create skill files
  Verification: "Confirm skills load, storage works"

... etc

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.
