smeac

smeac is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tupe12334/instinct. It costs 24 tokens per session (2,444 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A briefing format named SMEAC: Situation, Mission, Execution, Administration or Logistics, and Command or Communications. It organizes the context, goal, plan, resources, and decision or contact details.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to structure military, business, project, or high-stakes operational briefings into five clear sections.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance that people miss why the work matters, what must happen, how to do it, or who is responsible.

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

smeac 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 5d 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.

smeac Briefing Format

Overview

smeac is a military operations briefing structure used to communicate complex plans clearly and completely. Adapted for business, project management, and high-stakes operational contexts.

Section What it covers
S Situation
M Mission
E Execution
A Administration/Logistics
C Command/Communications

smeac ensures every participant has full context (Situation), clear purpose (Mission), a concrete plan (Execution), the resources they need (Administration), and knows who to contact and who decides (Command).

Section Breakdowns

S — Situation

Set the full context so everyone understands why this matters and what environment they're operating in.

Include:

  • What's happening in the broader environment (market, product, org)
  • What the problem or opportunity is
  • Key constraints or external pressures (time, competition, regulations)
  • What we know vs what's uncertain

Goal: no one should need to ask "why are we doing this?" after reading Situation.

M — Mission

One clear sentence (or short paragraph) stating what must be accomplished and why. The mission is the single most important element — everything else serves it.

Formula: [Who] will [what action] in order to [why / intended effect] by [when].

Example: "The product team will ship the new onboarding flow by [date] in order to reduce Day-1 churn by 20%."

Rules:

  • One mission — if you have two, run two briefings
  • State both the task (what) and the purpose (why)
  • Everyone in the room should be able to recite the mission from memory after the briefing

E — Execution

The plan. How the mission gets accomplished.

Structure for complex missions:

  1. Commander's intent (or leader's intent): the end state if the plan breaks down — what does success look like, even if we deviate from the plan?
  2. Concept of operations: overview of the approach (phases, sequence)
  3. Task assignments: who does what, with specific assignments per person or team
  4. Coordinating instructions: timing, rules of engagement, cross-team dependencies, shared standards

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.
