rfc

rfc is a command for Claude Code from caiaffa/claude-code-ultimate-engineering-system. It costs 14 tokens per session (401 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A process for writing and challenging an RFC, or Request for Comments: a document that explains a significant technical decision and its alternatives. It follows a defined company template and review sequence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for decisions expected to take more than about two weeks, affect multiple teams, or introduce a major architecture or technology change.
Why use it?
Large architecture or technology decisions affect other teams and are costly to reverse. An RFC makes assumptions, options, success measures, and risks explicit before implementation begins.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

rfc scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Use this for significant technical decisions — architecture changes that affect other teams, new technology, anything over ~2 weeks of work. This is Kovi's standard process (RFC-0001). For small local decisions, use /adr instead.

RFC subject: $ARGUMENTS

Phase 1 — Draft (sequential)

principal-engineer drafts the RFC:

  • Fill ~/.claude/engineering/RFC_TEMPLATE.md completely (PT-BR body; identifiers, commands, and service names in English).
  • All mandatory sections; at least 2 real alternatives (no strawmen).
  • Success metrics with baseline and target. People identified by @kovi.com.br email.
  • Ask the user for the next RFC number if unknown — do not guess it.

Phase 2 — Challenge (sequential)

architecture-challenger attacks the draft: weakest assumptions, failure modes, distributed risks, alternatives dismissed too fast, impact and implementation-plan gaps. Then run the RFC's own "Checklist de Qualidade".

Phase 3 — Revise & persist (sequential)

principal-engineer revises with the findings (or returns to Phase 1 if critical issues remain) and returns the full text. The orchestrator writes it to ~/code/kovi/staff/claude/vault/rfcs/rfc-XXXX-<slug>.md, Status: "Proposto".

Handoff to Kovi's official process

The system DRAFTS and REFINES the RFC. The official RFC process stays yours: take the draft from the vault to the kovi-docs repo at docs/rfc/rfc-XXXX-titulo.md, open the PR, notify on Slack, and run the review. The system never opens the kovi-docs PR for you.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
