start-quest

Find unblocked repository quests and start the user's choice. Use when the user invokes /start-quest, optionally with a base questline such as /start-quest vod, or asks what quest to work on next.

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

start-quest 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 today.

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

Before you begin, read quest/AGENTS.md completely.

Resolve an optional argument to a base questline directory under quest/, defaulting to quest/ itself.

Find every ready quest: one with no Required section. Questline README.mds are never executed, so exclude them:

rg --files-without-match '^## Required$' <base> --glob '*.md' --glob '!README.md' --glob '!AGENTS.md' --glob '!CLAUDE.md'

No output (rg exits 1) means the questline has no ready work; say so.

Drop candidates that are already claimed: a local or remote branch named after the quest path that is recent or has an open PR. A stale branch (old, no open PR) does not claim the quest; mention it so it can be reused or deleted. Also detect local and remote quest branches whose names are ancestors or descendants of the candidate branch. A recently moved quest may still be claimed by a branch at its former path; check the file's git history when a similar branch exists. Before creating the worktree, delete a conflicting ref only when it is confirmed stale, is not checked out, and has no unmerged commits; otherwise treat the candidate as claimed.

Order the remaining candidates by a depth-first walk of the questline tree from the base README.md (Quests lists are priority-ordered, so the walk is too) and offer up to the first five. Append any ready quest the walk never reached and flag it as unlisted - that is a tree defect worth fixing. Include any relevant higher-level context, such as the goal, parent questline, and/or what completing it unblocks. Include each candidate's title size.

After the user chooses, read the quest and the relevant repository guides. Decide the base branch, create a worktree on the quest's branch, and push an empty placeholder commit whose message contains a freshly generated UUID to claim it (skip the push without write access). Never force this push. A rejected push loses the claim race; stop and choose another quest. Start implementation when its scope is decision-complete; otherwise use $plan-quest to settle it first.

Files

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.

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.

start-quest is a skill published in the GitHub repository moq-dev/moq (1,486 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 523 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-02.
