gs-office-hours

gs-office-hours is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from YousefNabil-SOC/claude-apex. It costs 83 tokens per session (29,783 once invoked), scanned B, a copy of office-hours, MIT.

A product-idea coaching session built around six questions that test who needs an idea, why they need it, and what the smallest useful version could be.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explore a new product, side project, hackathon idea, learning project, or open-source concept.
Why use it?
It helps expose weak demand and unclear goals before time is spent building the product.

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 B, and why

gs-office-hours scanned grade B with 2 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 8d 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.

Sends data to an external URLmediumData exfiltration

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

`curl -X POST "${BOARD_URL}api/reload" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"html":"$_DESIGN_DIR/design-board.html"}'`

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 2,164 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

INTEGRATION NOTE: Extracted from gstack and renamed gs-office-hours (Phase 1B) to coexist with the host environment's CARL routing. Original gstack docs follow. Sibling gstack skills referenced below map to gs-* when installed (the 19-skill set); gstack-only infra (browse binary, gstack bin/ toolchain, ~/.gstack GBrain) is not installed here, so dependent steps degrade gracefully.

When to invoke this skill

Startup mode: six forcing questions that expose demand reality, status quo, desperate specificity, narrowest wedge, observation, and future-fit. Builder mode: design thinking brainstorming for side projects, hackathons, learning, and open source. Saves a design doc. Use when asked to "brainstorm this", "I have an idea", "help me think through this", "office hours", or "is this worth building". Proactively invoke this skill (do NOT answer directly) when the user describes a new product idea, asks whether something is worth building, wants to think through design decisions for something that doesn't exist yet, or is exploring a concept before any code is written. Use before /plan-ceo-review or /plan-eng-review.

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.
