Claude Code plugin bundle for department skills
headcount packages a company-style organization for Claude Code: a CEO layer, 16 departments, and many skills that load when a request matches. It is designed so you install only the departments you need, rather than loading the whole catalog at once.

Headcount: a Claude Code setup where agents are split by which files they own, not by topic

Videos about this repo
Who it's for
Builders who run Claude Code and want department-specific agent behavior they can install and delegate.
What it delivers
You can ask for a business, product, security, or technology lens and get the right specialist without re-writing the same prompt every time.
What it does
Independent department installs
Each department is a separate plugin, so you can add only the areas your project needs.
Skill namespaced by department
Skills are addressed as `department:skill`, which keeps names distinct across departments.
Auto-loading skills
Skills load when a request matches their territory, so the right specialist engages without manual routing.
Subagent charters
Each department ships an agent charter in `.claude/agents/`, so it can be delegated as a subagent with its own write surface.
Interactive org chart
The docs include a searchable org chart that lets you open departments and jump to source.
Use-case guides
The documentation walks through cross-department situations and shows what comes back from each specialist.
How to get it

/plugin marketplace add cbrock84/headcount /plugin install security@headcount
README
headcount
Add a department, not a prompt.
Open the interactive org chart — search every skill, open a department, jump to the source.
An agent organization for Claude Code, structured as a company: a chief executive over 16 departments, 172 skills in total.
Every department is an independently installable plugin, so a project loads only the functions it needs rather than all of them at once.
Install
/plugin marketplace add cbrock84/headcount
/plugin install security@headcount
Install as many departments as the project needs. Skills are addressed as department:skill —
security:threat-modeling, finance:unit-economics — so names never collide.
Use
Skills load themselves when a request matches. Ask a question in the department's territory and the right specialist engages:
| You ask | What loads |
|---|---|
| "why isn't this landing page converting?" | demand-generation:landing-page-cro-expert |
| "review this design before we build it" | security:threat-modeling |
| "can we afford this hire?" | finance:unit-economics |
| "our growth has stalled" | executive:business-growth-consultant |
Invoke one directly by name when you want a specific lens: /finance:financial-modeling.
New to this? docs/GETTING-STARTED.md covers which departments to install first, the three ways to invoke a skill, and what reviewer-class departments do differently.
Eleven situations that cross departments — a SOC 2 demand from an enterprise prospect, a link down between two sites, a renewal that auto-renewed because nobody owned the date — are worked through end to end in docs/USE-CASES.md, including what comes back and where a reviewer-class department stops the work rather than adding an opinion.
Each department also ships an agent charter in .claude/agents/, so a department can be delegated
to as a subagent with its own exclusive write surface.
