In plain words

Why use it?
It lets you discover the actions a project currently provides and run them by name instead of remembering script paths.

Skill for Claude Code

This is zdavison/deer's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on deer itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything deer configures →

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

kadai 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 6d 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.

kadai — Project Script Runner

kadai manages and runs project-specific shell scripts stored in .kadai/actions/.

Discovering Actions

kadai list --json

Returns a JSON array of available actions:

[
  {
    "id": "database/reset",
    "name": "Reset Database",
    "emoji": "🗑️",
    "description": "Drop and recreate the dev database",
    "category": ["database"],
    "runtime": "bash",
    "confirm": true
  }
]

Use --all to include hidden actions: kadai list --json --all

Always use kadai list --json for the current set of actions — do not hardcode action lists.

Running Actions

kadai run <action-id>

Runs the action and streams stdout/stderr directly. The process exits with the action's exit code. Confirmation prompts are automatically skipped in non-TTY environments.

Examples

kadai run hello
kadai run database/reset

Creating Actions

Create a script file in .kadai/actions/. Supported extensions: .sh, .bash, .ts, .js, .mjs, .py, .tsx.

Add metadata as comments in the first 20 lines using # kadai:<key> <value> (for shell/python) or // kadai:<key> <value> (for JS/TS):

#!/bin/bash
# kadai:name Deploy Staging
# kadai:emoji 🚀
# kadai:description Deploy the app to the staging environment
# kadai:confirm true

echo "Deploying..."

Available metadata keys:

Key Description
name Display name in menus
emoji Emoji prefix
description Short description
confirm Require confirmation before running (true/false)
hidden Hide from default listing (true/false)
fullscreen Use alternate screen buffer for ink actions (true/false)

If name is omitted, it is inferred from the filename (e.g. deploy-staging.sh → "Deploy Staging").

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.
