A hiring workflow for bringing on a contractor, freelancer, or employee, starting with a scorecard of expected results before writing the job description.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define role outcomes, required skills, a job description, sourcing, interviews, and contract details when hiring human help.
Why use it?
It helps define what success means before recruiting, so interviews focus on the work rather than on polished résumés or interview performance.

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

hire 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 10d 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.

Hire

Scorecard before job description, job description before interviews — skip the scorecard and you hire whoever interviews best, not whoever does the job.

Copy this checklist and check off items as you complete them:

Hire Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Scorecard
- [ ] Step 2: JD draft
- [ ] Step 3: Sourcing plan
- [ ] Step 4: Interview loop
- [ ] Step 5: Contract checklist
- [ ] Report

Step 1 — Scorecard before JD

Define the outcome, not the resume. Write 3-5 measurable outcomes for what great looks like at the 90-day mark (shipped what, moved which metric by how much), plus two skill lists: required and nice-to-have. If the role's scope is fuzzy — generalist or specialist, contract or full-time, needed now or in three months — delegate to the biz-strategist agent with the business problem this hire is meant to solve.

Step 2 — JD draft

Delegate to the copywriter agent with the scorecard as input, not a blank prompt. The JD leads with the 90-day outcomes, states the stack plainly (the actual tools, not a wishlist of 15 technologies nobody uses together), and states a real compensation range — one you'd defend out loud in the interview, not a placeholder. Publishing the JD anywhere public is outward-facing: confirm with the user before posting it.

Step 3 — Sourcing plan

Rank channels for this specific role type — relevant communities, job boards, freelance platforms (Upwork/Toptal for contract work, LinkedIn for full-time), personal network — and commit to the top 2-3 rather than spraying across all of them. Name the first 3 concrete actions (post in which community, DM which 5 people, apply which platform filter) with who does each and by when.

Step 4 — Interview loop

Identical loop for every candidate — that's what makes them comparable:

  1. 30-minute screen: motivation for this specific role, walkthrough of relevant past work.
  2. PAID, timeboxed work sample pulled from the real backlog — an actual ticket or task, not a synthetic puzzle. Pay it whether or not the candidate advances.
  3. Score against the Step 1 scorecard with a rubric — required skills as line items, not gut feel.

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.
