work

work is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zookanalytics/gc-toolkit. It costs 168 tokens per session (3,015 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A work-tracking guide for filing tasks, assigning responsibility, and changing work that has already been requested. It explains how to place tasks in the correct project structure and send them to a person or work pool.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create tasks and follow-ups, associate them with related work, assign them to a pool, and update or cancel requested work.
Why use it?
It keeps new work connected to the right parent or follow-up and makes ownership explicit. This prevents tasks from being misplaced or left without a clear next actor.

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

work 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 today.

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

Work: what needs doing, and who does it

These are the ways to say that a bead needs work, who should do it, or that it needs none. Each option says what the message means, who acts on it, and the one writer that sends it. The writer's --help carries its flags. Doing the work is a molecule's job, so nothing here changes a repo.

The writers are the gc-toolkit pack's own scripts. gc <binding> scripts-dir prints their directory in the pack as gc loaded it, so each example calls the pack's copy inside the command itself, and runs in a fresh shell. <binding> is the name the city imports the pack under, which gc puts in front of this skill's name: gc-toolkit in gc-toolkit.work. gc skill list prints it in this skill's FROM column.

File new work

A new bead says that work needs doing. Filing it starts nothing: send it, make it wait, or leave it for placement.

  • A dependency goes beside the bead it came from, never under it. Work that bead waits on is a dependency, and this is the default. bd refuses a blocks edge from a parent to its own descendant, so a child could never gate the bead it came from. Work already filed under the bead it came from stays where it is.
  • Work that genuinely decomposes an epic is a member of that epic. A story or task that is part of the epic's work is filed with --parent <that epic>, even when the epic is the bead it came from. Nothing makes the epic wait on it with a blocks edge, because containment already carries that wait.
  • Give it a parent only when one applies. A parent makes the bead a member of that epic: a park on the epic holds it, and the epic's priority ranks it. The parent of the bead it came from applies only when the new work serves the same epic. This prints that parent, or an empty line: "$(gc <binding> scripts-dir)/converse-parent.sh" <bead>. When no epic applies, give the bead no parent.
  • File it in the store of the pool that will work it. A pool reads only its own rig's store, so a city-scoped session names the rig: gc bd --rig <rig> create.
  • Send it now when intake admits it, and hold only the rest. Epics are how the operator steers which work runs, and membership is one of four ways in (docs/steering.md). A bead goes to a pool now when it is a member of an epic, when it is PR-finishing work carrying anchor_bead, when it is an emergency, or when the operator routed it in a sitting, by hand or by Accept. An emergency is a red main or a broken gate, confirmed by a check that failed on the default branch's head. Critical work the operator wants run now goes through the operator's own routing. Any other bead carries placement=pending in its create and no route or arm, and the operator's placement sitting places it.

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.
