client-health

client-health is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from msolecki/founder-os. It costs 31 tokens per session (1,644 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A client-risk check that reviews payment, project scope, communication tone and work effort for each active client.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it monthly, when a client goes quiet or pays late, and before discussing a renewal. It helps decide whether warning signs need explanation or action.
Why use it?
It helps reveal a troubled engagement before problems surface at renewal, when there may be little time to repair the relationship.

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

client-health 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 9d 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 — 138 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Client Health

Engagements do not fail suddenly. They fail for six weeks and get discovered at renewal — the one moment when nothing can be repaired and the founder's only remaining move is a discount.

When to use

Monthly, per active engagement. Immediately when a client goes quiet mid-project or an invoice slips. Before every renewal conversation, never during one.

Inputs

Read first, in order — house rule 1:

  • clients/<client>.md — the engagement log: scope asks, hours, invoice dates, response times
  • metrics.md — the invoice terms and this client's actual days-to-pay history
  • pipeline.md — is a renewal or expansion pending? It changes what silence means
  • ingestion-gate — the four signals are computed from dates in the log and need no gate. What the client said about them does: "cashflow is tight this quarter", "we're restructuring, it's not you". Those explain a red or excuse it, and which one they are is the gate's question, not this skill's.

Beliefs

  • A client who has stopped complaining is not satisfied. Complaints are engagement. The quiet ones have already had the conversation about you internally and reached a conclusion nobody sent. Rising friction is a healthier signal than a relationship that has gone smooth.
  • Health is a property of the deal's shape, not the client's personality. Most "difficult clients" were priced, scoped or sequenced badly at the start, and the same person on a better-shaped engagement would have been fine. This matters because personalities cannot be fixed and deals can.
  • The founder is one of the signals, and they are not scoring themselves. A large share of failing engagements went quiet from the founder's end first: latency is bidirectional, and a client's tone frequently tracks the founder's own avoidance of them by about three weeks. Before scoring tone red, check who stopped replying.
  • Renewal rewards the client having felt in control, not the work having been good. A client who cannot say what they got this month will not renew a project that went perfectly. The founder reads that as ingratitude; it is a reporting failure and it is fixable.

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.
