deadline-budget-check

deadline-budget-check is a skill for Claude Code from sina-heidariaan/cold-run. It costs 88 tokens per session (2,376 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A time-budget check for retries and timeouts inside a request that must finish before another system's deadline.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it in gateways, client calls, parent service requests, checkout endpoints, and claims endpoints. It adds up attempts, timeouts, delays, and phases, then ensures failure happens before the allowed deadline.
Why use it?
It prevents retries and per-step timeouts from using up the caller's remaining time and causing late or cascading failures.

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

deadline-budget-check scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 11d 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.
