done-blocked

done-blocked is a skill for Claude Code from VandanaAjayDubey111/great-pm. It costs 54 tokens per session (1,177 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reporting contract for project agents that requires a final status of either DONE or BLOCKED, with supporting evidence. It gives teams a consistent way to report whether delegated work finished or could not proceed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when handing research or other delegated work back to a project process that needs a clear result and evidence.
Why use it?
It prevents vague completion claims and makes blocked work explicit. This helps the wider project loop decide what to do next.

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

done-blocked 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 1mo 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 — 101 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Codex host binding

  • Treat references to Claude slash workflows as the equivalently named Codex skill.
  • Before delegating to any specialist, read the great-pm-runtime skill and the selected packaged role file.
  • Treat "invoke", "assign", "delegate", "spawn", and source Agent-tool instructions as a required Codex spawn_agent call with that role and a bounded assignment.
  • For the spawn tool's task_name or agent_name identifier, replace canonical role-name hyphens with underscores (query-refiner-pm → query_refiner_pm). Keep canonical names unchanged in prompts, filenames, verdict logs, and user-facing output; this is an internal identifier mapping, not a role rename.
  • Store every returned agent identifier. Never call a wait tool until a spawn has returned an identifier, and wait only on identifiers returned by successful spawns.
  • If spawn_agent is unavailable or a spawn fails, report BLOCKED; do not impersonate the specialist or wait on an empty agent set.
  • Resolve bundled paths from the installed GreatPM plugin root.
  • Ignore Claude-only model aliases, colors, turn limits, and tool allowlists.
  • Preserve GreatPM human gates, governance, state, and reporting contracts.

DONE / BLOCKED Reporting Contract

Terminal status is exactly two states, and BLOCKED requires specific evidence — not vague obstruction reports.

The contract

Every great-pm agent's final handoff line is one of:

DONE: <one-sentence summary of what was produced>
  artifact: <path to the draft/report produced>
  next: <who picks this up — pm-lead, a gate, the human>
BLOCKED: <one-sentence summary of the obstacle>
  tried: <what was attempted — files read, agents consulted>
  failed_because: <concrete reason — not "unclear", not "complex">
  need: <specific unblock — a human decision, a missing input, another agent>

Hard rules

  1. No third state. "Mostly done", "done with caveats" -> choose. If a caveat blocks the next stage -> BLOCKED. If cosmetic -> DONE (log it, move on).
  2. BLOCKED requires three fields — tried + failed_because + need. Missing any -> the verdict is rejected; re-report.
  3. Silence is not DONE. An agent that stops with no terminal line is treated as BLOCKED (failed_because: silent — no terminal verdict written).
  4. failed_because must be concrete. Rejected: "unclear requirements" -> say which decision is needed and the two options. "not enough context" -> say which file/input you tried to read.
  5. need names a specific unblock. Rejected: "more information" -> ask one specific question. "human approval" -> state the exact choice.
  6. Open questions go to beads, never only prose (anti-drift). If your output raises a question a HUMAN must answer — or you proceeded past one on an assumption — you MUST capture it as a beads open-decision issue (see the great-pm skill "Open decisions" section), with the default-if-unanswered and what it blocks. A DONE verdict that buries an unanswered human-decision in prose is rejected: a reader scrolling past the doc loses the question. If you proceeded on a default, name it: "proceeded on assumption X because decision is open." This applies even to DONE — DONE can carry open decisions, as long as they are filed, not buried.

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.
