managing-project-state

managing-project-state is a skill for Claude Code from Nolane-x/forge-os. It costs 32 tokens per session (177 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for managing the state of a software project within defined lifecycle boundaries. Project state means the information about what the project currently contains, needs, or is allowed to do.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a task must track or change project state and needs clear preconditions, evidence, and coverage.
Why use it?
It keeps state-related decisions explicit, bounded, and supported by checks instead of leaving them to guesswork.

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

managing-project-state 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 7d 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.

What it actually says

Managing Project State

Core principle

Managing project state within kernel lifecycle boundaries. Deterministic checks own scope, typed preconditions, evidence, and coverage; the agent performs only the domain judgment that cannot be encoded safely.

Do not activate when

  • the requested outcome does not require managing project state within kernel lifecycle boundaries
  • the typed inputs for managing-project-state are absent and another technique owns the outcome
Files

What ships with it

9 files 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.
