At a glance

Lifts the task's scope for one task. An agent skill from joetawil7/first-pass.

  • Development work in your project
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Hulk is an agent skill from joetawil7/first-pass. Lifts the task's scope for one task. The session, its reviews and fix-the-class then look across the whole codebase and every repo that shares its code, data or vendors, and every problem found anywhere is handled by the usual rules. Runs only when the user types it.

Its SKILL.md is about 510 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. The repository describes itself as: Rules and checks that make Claude Code look around a change, not just at the lines it writes: ten questions before code, a reviewer that didn't write it, proof before done, bugs… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “Use the hulk skill to lift the task's scope for one task. An agent skill from joetawil7/first-pass”
  • “/hulk”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2d3e839. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Hulk loads about 512 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 287 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~68
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~512

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

hulk

The task:

<task>
$ARGUMENTS
</task>

If the task block above is empty or still shows a placeholder, the task is the text the user sent with this command, or, with none, the task the session is working on now.

The user typed this to lift the rules' "Stay in the task's scope" for this one task. Until it is done:

  • The scope is the whole codebase: the repo, and in a main folder every repo the workspace section says shares its code, data or vendors. Reads, searches, the pre-mortem's neighbors, fix-the-class's search and the reviews go wherever the problem leads.
  • Problems found anywhere are findings, handled as "Done means proven" and ship-check say: real harm the change caused or made worse is handled as they say (fixed at once, fixed in their one batch when only a rare path meets it, or first on the end list when that batch's review or a later one finds it), the rest goes on the one list at the end, older ones marked older. Nothing is marked "outside this task".
  • A review of a pull request or a branch with the scope lifted is /first-pass:review hulk <what to review>.
  • Write it down: "Scope: lifted (hulk)" in the plan, the pre-mortem's Scope line and the task list, so it survives a compacted context, and tell every reviewer the scope is lifted; a review already running is started again with the scope lifted.
  • Everything else in the rules still holds: a yes before money, production or anything outward-facing; "Cost before scale" before more than 3 agents or a long run; one step at a time.

The next task the user gives gets its own scope again, unless they type this again.
