plastic-intent-linking

A workflow for connecting related Plastic intents, where an intent is a tracked piece of work or purpose. It records source, chain, and cross-reference links.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or discovering related intents, or when linking work after a user asks to connect items.
Why use it?
It distinguishes finding similar items from deciding whether one item's context actually influenced another.

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

plastic-intent-linking 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 3d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 129 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Linking Intents

When to Use

  • During intent creation (automatic: ask about related intents)
  • User says "link", "connect", "relates to"
  • Agent discovers a relationship between intents during work

Discovery and ranking are separate

Two distinct steps, do not conflate them:

  1. Discovery (finding candidate related intents) may use any tool: grep, find, ripgrep, or QMD/Serena when present (QMD-first per the project rule). Discovery casts a wide net.
  2. Ranking the candidates is a CONTEXT-INFLUENCE judgement: read each candidate's ## Intent and ## Context and ask whether that context actually informed this intent. Ranking is NOT a structural metric (no shared-file or shared-symbol grading: on intent 90, matching whole files flagged 35 intents because ~20 touch bridge.rb). It is NOT a similarity score either (QMD relevance measures topic proximity, not influence). A script cannot make this call; an agent does.

The three tiers (by context influence)

Read ../plastic-conventions/references/knowledge-graph.md for the full linking doctrine behind these tiers, the sources-versus-chain distinction, and the ## Links projection. This path resolves relative to this skill's own installed directory.

  • sources: the foundational context that shaped this intent's CREATION (a split, an idea born during development, a merge). Earns an edge. Decided by origin, never inferred.
  • chain: the context that materially helps DELIVER this intent. HIGH bar: only the genuinely delivery-moving intents, not everything in the same area. Earns an edge, reflected in ## Links. Worked example (intent 90): 79 created it so 79 is a source; 80 deferred the exact fix 90 makes, so its context directly helps delivery and 80 is chain; 49/66/73 are same-area background, so they get a shared tag and no link.
  • tags: loose theme grouping for search. NOT a link.

Timing. The influence judgement happens at What/Why (and during upkeep), guided by this rule. It does not wait for code to exist; it is reasoning over the candidate's context, not over a diff.

What ships with it

2 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.

plastic-intent-linking is a skill published in the GitHub repository zalom/plastic (10 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 1,678 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
