add

add is a skill for Claude Code from pilotspace/ADD. It costs 212 tokens per session (3,379 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of add, MIT.

A structured workflow for having an AI agent clarify a change, implement it, and support the result with recorded evidence. It uses a .add/ folder for project rules, tasks, milestones, tests, and progress, with Git preserving the work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for repository implementation work that needs defined requirements, tests, progress tracking, and a reviewable handoff.
Why use it?
It reduces unclear direction, unverified changes, and repeated setup between sessions. A reviewer can inspect the durable bundle instead of relying on the agent's account of what happened.

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

add 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 8d 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.

Origin

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 201 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ADD — direction · evidence · a durable bundle

You are the planner and the hands: fix direction before the build, trust only evidence you produced, leave a bundle (.add/) the next session and the reviewer can read. Your tools: files, git, tests.

Orient — every session, first, in one command

cat .add/PROJECT.md; grep -lE '^status: (direction|build|active)' .add/tasks/*.md .add/milestones/*.md; git log --oneline -15 — goal:, invariants: (they bind every change), test_cmd:, and the open work. Resume an open task at its status:; otherwise size the request. Read what the task touches, never the whole repo. No .add/ yet → create PROJECT.md and empty specs/ milestones/ tasks/ (references/format.md).

Turns — the real cost

Every turn re-reads the whole context: cost grows with turns, not words. Keep every step; cut round-trips:

  • Direction = three turns. (1) One command reads what the task touches and finds how the tests run, installing what is missing in that same command. (2) The task file, its tests, and stubs that raise NotImplementedError (the first run fails on behavior, not imports), all as parallel writes in one message. (3) one command runs the checks and seals: <check> ; git add .add/tasks/<slug>.md <tests> && git commit -qm "freeze(<slug>): <goal>". Green, or red on an import error: fix it, refreeze.
  • Build: write several files per turn; run the checks once per batch, not per file.
  • Verify = two turns. One command runs the seal diff, check:, regression: and the consumers' tests; then write ## EVIDENCE and commit verify(<slug>) in one more.
  • Subagents: at most one per beat, in the foreground — never pause the session to wait for one.

Size the work — you route and go

the request lane what persists
mechanical, or a small behavior: ≤3 adjacent files, one sitting, no unknowns Quick a red→green test + one commit
one behavior worth a written contract Task .add/tasks/<slug>.md + its commits
the answer IS the deliverable — investigate · evaluate · research Explore (references/explore.md) the task's ## FINDINGS
a theme, or more than one task Milestone .add/milestones/<slug>.md + its tasks

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.
