protocol-tracker

protocol-tracker is a skill for Claude Code from restarter/lets-workflow. It costs 62 tokens per session (1,676 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An internal set of rules for connecting tracker commands to the project's active tracker system. A tracker records work items, and an adapter translates the neutral commands into the selected tracker's commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for finding the tracker configuration, reading work items, and safely handling tracker updates.
Why use it?
It prevents tracker requests from being run as ordinary shell code and prevents the agent from claiming a change that did not happen.

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

protocol-tracker 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 2d 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 — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Protocol: tracker verb resolution

Load this before the first step that runs a ```lets-tracker block, unless its text is in your current context. Core rules keep the always-on part: never run a lets-tracker body as shell; never report a tracker change that did not happen; state-changing verbs stay gated under AUTO MODE; never append by overwriting a field.

1. Find the adapter (first, every time)

LETS_TRACKER (LETS Config; default beads) names the adapter.

found (check with Bash ls, not Glob) do
.claude/lets/tracker-{LETS_TRACKER}.md exists Read it; also Read .claude/lets/tracker-{LETS_TRACKER}.board.md when present (user-owned board profile, overrides per key)
otherwise the adapter is the auto-loaded .claude/rules/tracker-{LETS_TRACKER}.md copy (and its .board.md) already in your context - do NOT Read it again
beads or unset resolve via tracker-beads.md - its bindings are the same bd ... calls LETS always ran (table-driven, golden-pinned)
a non-beads adapter whose file IS loaded resolve via its file (e.g. an mcp__* tool); translate native <-> neutral statuses so surrounding logic stays adapter-agnostic
a non-beads adapter named, NO file loaded (plugin upgraded, /lets:init / /lets:update not re-run) behave as none: do NOT run bd (wrong store), tell the user the tracker is not installed, nudge /lets:update

One adapter file per LETS_TRACKER (beads | none | a custom one), installed by lets init; it binds the neutral verbs to concrete calls.

tier verbs
CORE create, show, comment-add, set-status, close
OPTIONAL comment-list, list-by-status, search, ready/stats, label/assignee/set-field

2. Resolve a lets-tracker block

A fenced block tagged lets-tracker, one verb key=value per line (e.g. close task=<id> reason="..."), is a neutral verb CALL, not shell:

  1. identify <verb> + args;
  2. look the verb up in the adapter's capability table and run ITS binding (for beads the binding IS a bd command - run that);
  3. NEVER execute the block body as a shell command.

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.
