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 | $0.00066 | $0.01307 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00026 | $0.00523 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00261 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00131 |
Grade A, and why
hitkeep-development 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 1mo 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 — 62 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
HitKeep Development
Treat AGENTS.md as policy and hk as workflow truth. Never copy commands, build tags, environment defaults, variants, ports, tool versions, or QA gates into another instruction surface.
Connect
Use the central local HitKeep developer MCP for every operation it exposes. It is a stateless server-catalog stdio adapter over the same worktree-confined services as the CLI and is separate from the production analytics /mcp endpoint. A configured or enabled host entry is not enough; confirm that the relevant callable hk_* tools are exposed and make a read-only call before relying on MCP.
Follow this connection order:
- Inspect the host's callable tools and select the relevant
hk_*operation instead of translating it into shell. - Start with a read-only status or planning call and verify that its workspace ID matches the configured fallback or explicit workspace selector. Pass the optional
workspaceinput only when selecting a different catalogued worktree; it accepts a catalogued workspace ID or absolute path. - If tools are absent or fail, inspect host MCP health and compare the configured server name, executable, and arguments with
./hk mcp manifest --output json. Report whether registration, startup, workspace routing, or task reload is blocking MCP. Existing tasks may need a host reload before a corrected registration becomes callable. - Obtain explicit user approval before invoking any equivalent structured CLI action. After approval, discover the command and flags through
./hk catalog commands --output json, request--output json, and consumeschema_version,status,workspace_id,data, anderror. Stop on an unknown schema version instead of guessing.
Fallback approval is scoped to the exact blocked operation. Resume only that operation and stop when it reaches a terminal state; do not treat fallback approval as authorization for another implementation slice or a broader persistent goal.
Reserve direct ./hk use for MCP bootstrap or repair, an explicitly approved fallback, and operations intentionally absent from MCP such as formatter or Go migration rewrites. Never guess a workspace or silently edit client-owned global configuration.
What ships with it
5 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.
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.

hitkeep-development is a skill published in the GitHub repository PascaleBeier/hitkeep (98 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 66 tokens to every session and 1,307 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.

dd-code-generation
Use pup CLI for immediate Datadog operations or generate code for integration into applications.
mma-investigator
Expert system for investigating MMA (Multi-Metric Allocator) behavior on CockroachDB clusters. Helps oncall engineers diagnose load imbalances, understand rebalancing decisions, and identify why MMA did or didn't act.
migrate-state-management
Migrate Redux or React Context to the correct state option (React Query for server state, nuqs for URL/shareable state, Zustand for global client state). Use when refactoring away from Redux/Context, moving state to the right store, or when the user asks to migrate state management.
lsp-local-symbols
Fast file-scoped symbol analysis — find all usages of a symbol within the current file, list all symbols defined in the file, and get type info at a position. Use when you need local-scope analysis without a workspace-wide search.
lsp-implement
Find all concrete implementations of an interface or abstract type. Use when you need to know what types satisfy an interface, or what subtypes exist before changing a base type.
lsp-edit-symbol
Edit a named symbol without knowing its file or position. Use when you want to change a function, type, or variable by name and don't have exact coordinates. Resolves the symbol to its definition, retrieves its full range, and applies the edit.
