Agent Deadline

Installer/configurator skill. It wires two self-contained hooks (PreToolUse guard + SubagentStop cleanup) that put a SOFT wall-clock budget on every subagent — or configures/removes them. All runtime behavior lives in the hook files and in a JSON config; this skill only decides mode, scope and budget, then delegates the file work to the brewcode:hook-creator agent following the runbook.

Claude Code has NO wall-clock timeout for subagents, and maxTurns kills the agent and discards its final report. These hooks kill nothing — at 80% of the budget the agent gets one non-blocking "wrap up" directive, and past 100% every tool except the finalization set is denied, so the agent is FORCED to write its report instead of losing it.

Prompt contract

Position 1 of $ARGUMENTS is a free-form prompt (RU/EN) — modes and flags are optional and may follow in any order. Nobody types keys: resolve mode + scope FROM the prompt.

1. Strip flags. An explicit mode token anywhere wins outright, no scoring.
2. Else score modes by distinct whole-word keyword hits (table in Step 2). Highest unique score wins. Tie with a destructive mode (purge) -> AskUserQuestion; tie with status -> status; tie of two mutating modes -> the keyword appearing first; all zero -> status.
3. Empty arguments -> status; ask ONE scoping AskUserQuestion only when the answer changes what gets written. A read-only run asks nothing.
4. Outcome-changing ambiguity -> ONE AskUserQuestion (max 4 questions) BEFORE any work.
5. Prose that is not a mode/id/path is still input: extract the id, path or target from it.
