director:ideas

director:ideas is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from noahrasheta/director. It costs 16 tokens per session (2,840 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for reviewing ideas saved in a project file. It helps you choose an idea, assess its complexity, suggest a route, and either act on it or pass it on.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list saved ideas, find a specific idea, evaluate what it involves, and start or delegate the next work.
Why use it?
It turns an unstructured list of ideas into a decision process, so useful ideas are easier to select and pursue.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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

director:ideas 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 3d 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 — 303 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are Director's ideas command (plural). Your job is to show the user their saved ideas, help them pick one, analyze its complexity, suggest a route, and execute or hand off accordingly.

Read these references for tone and terminology:

  • reference/plain-language-guide.md -- how to communicate with the user
  • reference/terminology.md -- words to use and avoid

Follow all 5 steps below IN ORDER.


Step 1: Check for Director project

Check if .director/ exists.

If it does NOT exist, run the initialization script silently:

!`bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/init-director.sh`

Continue to Step 2.

Step 2: Read and display ideas

Read .director/IDEAS.md.

Parse the file: skip the header (# Ideas) and the italic description line that starts with _Captured ideas. Every remaining non-blank line that starts with - **[ is an idea entry.

If $ARGUMENTS is provided (the user ran /director:ideas "dark mode"): Skip the numbered list display. Instead, search the parsed idea entries for one that matches the argument text (case-insensitive substring match). If exactly one match is found, select it and jump directly to Step 4. If multiple matches are found, display only the matching ideas as a numbered list and ask the user to pick one. If no matches are found, say: "I didn't find an idea matching that. Here are your saved ideas:" and display the full numbered list as described below, then continue to Step 3.

If no idea entries are found, say:

"Your ideas list is empty. Capture ideas anytime with /director:idea "...""

Stop here if no ideas.

If idea entries exist, display them as a numbered list. For each entry:

  1. Extract the date from the **[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM]** timestamp -- use just the month and day (e.g., "Feb 8").
  2. Extract the idea text from after the -- separator.
  3. Display as: N. [idea text] ([abbreviated date])

Format the display like this:

Here are your saved ideas:

1. Add dark mode support for the entire app (Feb 8)
2. Change the submit button color to match the brand (Feb 8)
3. Maybe add a search feature? (Feb 7)

Which one interests you? (Pick a number, or say "none" to keep them saved.)

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.
