At a glance

Portfolio dashboard for all GSD-tracked projects. An agent skill from davepoon/buildwithclaude.

  • Works in 3 steps: Preferences: cat… → Daemon health: cat… → GSD registry: cat…
  • Development work in your project
  • SKILL.md covers Runtime Context, Quick commands, Data flow and Dashboard output, plus 4 more sections
  • Calls bash

What it does

Ops Projects is an agent skill from davepoon/buildwithclaude. Portfolio dashboard for all GSD-tracked projects. Scans ~/Projects and ~/gsd-workspaces for .planning/ directories, shows phase status, git state, blockers, and next actions for every project. Run /ops projects to see the full portfolio.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: A single hub to find Claude Skills, Agents, Commands, Hooks, Plugins, and Marketplace collections to extend Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Agent SDK and OpenClaw. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/ops-projects”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Grep, Glob, WebFetch, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Preferences: cat ${OPS_DATA_DIR:-$HOME/.claude/plugins/data/ops-ops-marketplace}/preferences.json — read owner, timezone
  2. Daemon health: cat ${OPS_DATA_DIR}/daemon-health.json — show service status in dashboard footer
  3. GSD registry: cat ${OPS_DATA_DIR}/registry.json — primary project index (updated by daemon twice daily + on-demand with --sync)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 10bfc43. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • WebFetch
    • AskUserQuestion

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bash

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Ops Projects loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 212 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Grep, Glob, WebFetch, AskUserQuestion

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
