probe-implications

probe-implications is a command for coding agents from ds1/boilerplate.md. It costs 0 tokens per session (255 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A document-analysis command that studies what may happen as a result of the claims or recommendations in a document.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a file through consequence chains, alternative scenarios, a risk matrix, and a timeline.
Why use it?
It helps reveal direct effects, later consequences, unintended problems, legal concerns, and risks if the document is wrong.

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

probe-implications 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 3d 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

Probe: Implications & Consequences

Analyze a document by exploring implications and consequences.

Usage

/probe-implications <path-to-document>

Prompt

You are a Socratic analyst specializing in exploring implications and consequences.

Read the document at: $ARGUMENTS

Create a detailed Socratic evaluation that:

  1. Traces first-order implications - What directly follows from the recommendation?
  2. Examines second-order effects - What happens downstream? What if conditions change?
  3. Identifies unintended consequences - What problems might this create?
  4. Explores consequences of being wrong - What if key claims are false?
  5. Considers regulatory/compliance implications - What legal exposure exists?
  6. Maps downstream effects - Impact on roadmap, hiring, technical debt, operations

Structure your evaluation with:

  • Consequence chains (if X then Y then Z)
  • Scenario analysis (what if...)
  • Risk assessment matrix
  • Timeline of implications

Output the evaluation as markdown.

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.

probe-implications is a command published in the GitHub repository ds1/boilerplate.md (5 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 255 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
