Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00074 | $0.01861 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00037 | $0.00931 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00372 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00186 |
Grade A, and why
thread 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 5d 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 — 175 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
/thread - Operational Threads Registry
Manages running state of business and personal life situations across sessions. Distinct from CRM (people), pipeline (deals), ZK (ideas), outputs (artifacts).
Spec: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-29-threads-registry-design.md (data overlay: .heading-os-data/docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-29-threads-registry-design.md)
When to use
| Trigger | Action |
|---|---|
| Multi-step external situation that has follow-through across sessions | open |
| Recurring project (HEADING book, ODUN.ONE x TrustONE, SPL) | open |
| Personal life thread (medical, family, travel) | open with type personal |
| Outbound communication on an existing thread | log with --artifact |
| Decision made on an active thread | log --decision "..." |
| Pending action surfaced | log --follow-up "..." |
| Follow-up completed | log --done <index> |
| Thread done | close --reason "<why>" |
| Thread paused for weeks | hold --reason "<why>" |
| Thread reactivates | reopen |
| Operator says "do not remind me about this until " | quiet --until <date> |
| Operator says "freeze this, I will raise it myself" | quiet --indefinite |
| Quiet period is over | quiet --clear |
| Survey active threads | list |
| Lookup by keyword | find <query> |
| Read full thread | show <id> |
| /prime archive scan | archive-scan --apply |
When NOT to use
- Code work, debugging, technical fixes - explicitly out of scope.
- Single emails to new contacts - use
/email-draft. - Knowledge notes / insights - use
/zk. - CRM contact logs - use
/crm. - Anything inside
_secure/- the vault has its own audit log via_secure/.audit-log.md.
Approval gate (always)
I never open or log silently. Before invoking the CLI, I ask:
"This looks like a thread, or part of the [Quillon] thread. Open it, or log to it?"
The user approves, modifies, or skips. After several months of trusted use, this gate may be relaxed - deferred to v2.
CLI
What ships with it
1 file 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.
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.

thread is a skill published in the GitHub repository mishahanin/heading-os (11 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 74 tokens to every session and 1,861 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-09-03.
