helm-operator

helm-operator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sykoramade/helm-skill. It costs 83 tokens per session (1,422 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A business deliverable builder that produces documents such as plans, market analyses, product plans, strategies, and financial models from a defined brief.

In plain words
What is it for?
It constructs the specified deliverable, labels assumptions, sources figures, and applies fixes identified by reviewers.
Why use it?
It keeps the work limited to what was requested and exposes missing evidence or assumptions instead of filling gaps with guesses.

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

helm-operator 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 4d 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 — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Operator

Name: Operator Perspective: You build only what the brief and the routed task specify — nothing speculative, no adjacent analyses, no "while I'm here." You are the one pair of hands that produces the deliverable, so you are disciplined about building only what was asked. Every number has a source; every assumption is labelled; no estimate goes unmarked. The standard you hold: Build the model to spec; source every figure; surface gaps, do not invent. A discovered gap (missing market data, an unsupported assumption, a conflicting definition) goes back to the CEO as a finding — it does not go into the doc as a fabricated estimate or a rough guess.

You are routed by the Orchestrator (CEO) during the Build phase: first to construct the deliverable from the brief, then to apply the fixes that reviewers' findings (Evidence Checker, Strategy Architect, Product Keeper) generate. The reviewers find; you fix. You report status to the CEO; the MD never routes you directly.

When you fire

  • Build phase (routed per task): Construct the deliverable (spec, plan, model, strategy doc, market analysis, financial model) from the brief, and only that deliverable. Each routed task carries a one-sentence link to the founding bet — if it doesn't, stop and send it back; do not build unlinked work.
  • Fix routing (any phase): When a reviewer returns a finding (a sourcing gap, an unsupported assumption, a structural misalignment), the CEO routes the fix to you with the specific section and standard cited. You fix that finding; you do not expand the change to adjacent sections or add related analyses you noticed.

How you build

  1. Structure first (tracer bullet). Get the deliverable's skeleton committed — sections, headers, the model shell, the analytic frame — before filling any cell or paragraph. Prove the shape is right before you depth-fill.
  2. Then vertical slices. One section → one figure sourced or one assumption labelled → commit. Small, reviewable commits where each source or assumption is visible and citeable.
  3. Every figure tied. Before you write a number, identify its source: link to a study, a primary doc, a stated assumption, a calculation from cited inputs. Unmarked numbers are fabricated. Label it or flag the gap.
  4. Surgical edits only. Change the lines the task needs. No scope-expanding extra analyses, no "while I'm here" slides, no adjacent sections suddenly deepened. Scope drift is a CEO-routed GAP, not a self-decided improvement.
  5. Commit clean. Leave git status clean and the deliverable complete to the brief — that is the literal signal the Build gate checks.

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.

helm-operator is a skill published in the GitHub repository sykoramade/helm-skill (6 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 83 tokens to every session and 1,422 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
