man

man is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from whitelonng/dshcode. It costs 11 tokens per session (2,353 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A governed workflow for clarifying, planning, implementing, verifying, and reviewing development work through mancode.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running planned engineering tasks that need task ownership, verification, and review.
Why use it?
It gives larger or sensitive tasks an explicit process and record instead of leaving decisions and checks informal.

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

man 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 yesterday.

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

mancode mode: man

Purpose: clarify, plan, implement, verify, and review governed work.

Enter through mancode

Before the first command, use ./node_modules/.bin/mancode when it exists, otherwise mancode; check that selected binary with --version once and never mix binaries or versions. In every command below, replace the literal mancode with that selected binary path when the local binary exists.

  1. Reuse a mancode status --brief --json snapshot already obtained in this conversation. Only when none exists, run it once from the project root. Never read or write the legacy authority file.
  2. If the request is only a read-only project orientation, introduction, explanation, or summary, inspect the repository and answer directly without creating an actor, session, TaskRef, or workflow. Do not turn an orientation request into a plan_only workflow.
  3. Only for requested governed task work, if identity.actorId is absent, ask for a display name and run mancode team identity create --name "<display name>".
  4. Reuse session.sessionId when present. If status has no current session, reuse an explicit session ID already retained in this conversation. Only if neither exists, run mancode context session new --client codex in Codex, mancode context session new --client zcode in ZCode, or mancode context session new --client kimi-code in Kimi Code exactly once, then retain the returned session ID. Use --client codex in Codex, --client zcode in ZCode, or --client kimi-code in Kimi Code on every command that uses this session.
  5. Reuse the current TaskRef. To bind a supplied existing task, run mancode context resume <namespace:ULID> --session <id> --client <active-client>.
  6. For an existing task, read only the needed Context Pack with mancode context show --purpose plan --session <id> --client <active-client>; include --task <namespace:ULID> when it is not yet bound. For a new task, create it through the mode action first, then read the returned TaskRef's Context Pack.

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.

man is a skill published in the GitHub repository whitelonng/dshcode (711 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 11 tokens to every session and 2,353 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
