trailhead-work

trailhead-work is a skill for Claude Code from ToRvaLDz/trailhead. It costs 156 tokens per session (8,273 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Trailhead work-management skill for handling tasks, called tickets, through their full lifecycle in GitHub Issues.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to take the next task, complete one named task, checkpoint unfinished work, continue it later, or divide an oversized task into smaller ones.
Why use it?
It organizes how an agent selects, works on, pauses, resumes, or splits tasks instead of treating each request as an isolated action.

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

trailhead-work 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 today.

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

trailhead-work is the work cluster of the trailhead skill: the verbs that resolve tickets and manage a ticket's lifecycle. work takes the next frontier ticket (or the one you name) and resolves it with its type's engine; quick works one ticket whole without splitting (a new whiteboard ticket from text, or an existing ticket, which stays where it is); pause checkpoints the ticket in play; resume picks it back up; split breaks an oversized ticket into children; auto runs a chosen run scope autonomously, ticket by ticket, suspending the one-ticket-per-session rule until a stop condition or exhaustion. Everything lives on the GitHub Issues; the repo holds code only.

Load first, in order

Before doing anything, load <skill base>/../_shared/load-first.md and follow it: the shared-core load contract (the six core files, in order, then the effective config). <skill base> is this skill's base directory (Claude Code prints it as Base directory for this skill: when the skill loads; on another host, the directory holding this SKILL.md): resolve the path to an absolute path and open it with the Read tool on that absolute path. Never cd into a skills directory and never read a relative path from the shell (a cd compound followed by a read is denied by the search guard). The same rule covers every later ../_shared/... or references/... path in this skill: resolve it against the base directory to an absolute path before reading. _shared/ is a sibling of this cluster's own directory (at ../_shared/), never a child of it; its absence from a listing of the cluster dir is expected, not a missing core.

Config is a property of the project/map, not the working directory: an isolation workspace inherits this config, never re-resolves it from the isolated copy's own root. For an explicit work <n> / quick <n>, the named-ticket Preflight below runs before this config load: never load config, or anything else, for a ticket that turns out closed.

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
