quartermaster

A Claude Code mod that keeps subagent spending deliberate.

  • Model guard. A spawn of a model-less agent type (general-purpose, claude by default) that sets no model is denied once with a reminder to choose one from the task. Re-issue the identical call to run it on the inherited model anyway.
  • Heavy-model guard. A spawn that will run on a heavy model (opus, fable by default) while the five-hour window is at or past warnAt (75%) is denied once with the reading and the projected cap time. Re-issue unchanged to spend it anyway, or name a model: choosing a heavy one after seeing the reading passes.
  • Pace line. One status line: when the five-hour window will cap at the current pace, and how many subagents this session has run. QM pace: cap ~15:40 (resets 17:00) · agents 4 (2 opus). Hidden off a subscription.
  • Threshold toasts at 50, 75 and 90% of the five-hour window, once each per window.
  • /quartermaster reports each guard's fires, re-issues and changes, the pace and the config.

Spawns made by other plugins or by workflow scripts can't re-issue, so for them the guards never deny: they toast, once per plugin and agent type (model guard) or per plugin and window (heavy guard).

Requirements

Quartermaster is a function-hooks plugin, built against Claude Code 2.1.292. That hooks API is early access and moves between releases, so a newer build may need changes here. The pace line and toasts need a subscription that reports rate limits.

Install

/plugin marketplace add bloknayrb/claudestuff
/plugin install quartermaster@claudestuff-marketplace

Config

FieldTypeDefaultMeaning
warnAtnumber75Five-hour usage (%) at which the heavy-model guard starts
heavyModelslistopus, fableModel names or id fragments, matched case-insensitively
guardTypeslistgeneral-purpose, claudeAgent types with no model of their own
requireModelbooleantrueTurns the model guard on or off

The heavy-model guard knows a spawn's model only when the call names one, when it is a fork, or when its type is in guardTypes (it then inherits the parent's). It assumes no default subagent model is configured; with one, those spawns run on the default instead. Other agent types that set no model go unjudged.

How a soft deny works

A denied call's identity is a hash of prompt, description, subagentType and model, never the tool call id. The identical call issued again within ten minutes, from the same agent, runs. The same task (prompt and description) with another model or agent type counts as acting on the deny. Counters (fires, reissued, changed) and the last 200 outcomes are kept so a guard that is mostly re-issued can be narrowed or removed.

What it writes

  • The plugin's own store (pace readings for the current and previous window, toasts sent, counters, the fire ring).
  • A heartbeat at ~/.claude/state/mods/quartermaster/<sessionId>.json: { "loadedAt", "lastError" }. One file is written per session id and never pruned; they are small and safe to delete.

It makes no model calls. A guard that fails lets the spawn through and logs to the debug log.

Limits

  • A Workflow's agents get a toast, not a deny, by design: nothing can re-issue a spawn a Workflow script starts, so a deny would only kill the step. That path was not observed live; the tests cover it.

Developing

claude plugin test plugins/quartermaster runs the tests. tsconfig.json extends .claude-plugin/types/tsconfig.json, which Claude Code writes when it first loads the mod from a folder you own (--plugin-dir, or a mods folder). Load it once before running tsc -p. Every function that takes $ lives in hooks/register.ts, because the validator refuses $ passed across an import.
