discover-roster

discover-roster is a skill for Claude Code from t1djani/war-room. It costs 81 tokens per session (679 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An opt-in workflow that scans a project and proposes a war-room roster, meaning a set of named specialists responsible for different parts of the codebase.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when explicitly building a project war-room roster. It identifies a few major domains, maps them to specialist officers, and proposes a roster file without writing it until accepted.
Why use it?
It helps a project-specific review team reflect the actual areas of the project instead of relying only on generic roles.

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

discover-roster 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 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.

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 — 35 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

discover-roster

The default war-room runs five generic officers with zero config — fast, no scan. This skill is the opt-in upgrade: it scans the project once, infers its real domains, and proposes a roster where each officer reads a genuine slice of this codebase instead of a generic frame. Run it only when the user asks; keep the default light.

The output is a proposal. Nothing is written until the user accepts.

Procedure

  1. Reuse before you scan. If a .servo/manifest.yaml exists, derive the roster from its experts (domains + source pointers) — no scan needed. This is the cheap path; prefer it.

  2. Otherwise, scan — once, shallowly. Read the project's shape, not its contents: top-level layout, the package/build manifest, the docs/ index, the main source directories. You are looking for distinct domains (data, API, frontend, infra, billing…), not every file. Stop once you can name 3–5 domains; do not read the whole tree.

  3. Map each domain to an officer — persona + real slice. For each domain, propose:

    • a persona (the skin) — an evocative war-council title that fits the domain;
    • the slice (the skeleton) — the real paths/docs that domain owns;
    • what it optimizes and its signature question, derived from the domain.

    Keep the rule that makes a roster worth having: two officers must not share a model of the problem. If two candidate domains would ask the same question, merge them. Cap at 5 substantive officers.

  4. Do NOT seat the Marshal or the Tenth Man. war-room always seats those itself (synthesis and mandated dissent are structural, not domains). The roster file lists only the substantive officers.

  5. Propose, then confirm. Show the user the proposed roster — personas, slices, signature questions — and ask them to accept or adjust. Surface anything ambiguous as a question (a domain you weren't sure about, two that might be one). Never write the file without an explicit OK.

  6. Write .war-room/roster.yaml in the shape of examples/roster.example.yaml. Confirm where it landed and that the next /war-room run will use 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.
