Request tracking knowledge base. An agent skill from sd0xdev/sd0x-harness.

  • : querying request status
  • SKILL.md covers Trigger, When NOT to Use, Document Hierarchy and File Location, plus 6 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Managing document references

What it does

Request Tracking is an agent skill from sd0xdev/sd0x-harness. Request tracking knowledge base. Use when: querying request status, managing document references, tracking progress. Not for: creating requests (use create-request), tech specs (use tech-spec). Output: status report + progress tracking.

Its SKILL.md is about 570 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/operations.md` and `references/template.md`).

It sits in Knowledge Management, covering Knowledge bases. The repository describes itself as: The harness layer for Claude Code — a reference implementation of harness engineering with hook-enforced dual review, state-machine gates that survive context compaction, and… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • : querying request status
  • Managing document references
  • Tracking progress

Example prompts

  • “/request-tracking”

Requirements

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

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a4d4bc1. 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:

    • Read
    • Grep
    • Glob

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    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

Request Tracking loads about 571 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 93 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
~571
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.5k

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.
