blind-spot-pass

blind-spot-pass is a command for Claude Code, Cursor from emaraschio/cursor-commands. It costs 44 tokens per session (1,321 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A pre-build review that looks for overlooked dependencies, edge cases, and possible effects on other parts of a project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a plan, rank five to ten high-impact questions, and agree on what to check before building. It is planning-only by default.
Why use it?
It exposes gaps in a rough plan before implementation and uses targeted questions to resolve the most important uncertainties.

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

blind-spot-pass 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 9d 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.

Overview

Before building, run a blind spot pass on the user's rough plan. Treat the prompt as the map and the real project as the territory: classify gaps across four knowledge quadrants (with Dependencies, Edge cases, and Blast radius under unknown unknowns), ask 5 to 10 high-leverage interview questions, and halt with a two-step handshake before building. Default intensity is standard; red-team only when the user asks to challenge or break the plan. Plan-only on delivery and on pass approval. Full workflow: .cursor/skill-contracts/blind-spot-pass/SKILL.md (user install: ~/.cursor/skill-contracts/blind-spot-pass/SKILL.md).

Defaults

Setting Default
Deliverable Five-section pass in chat (four quadrants + interview questions; §4 has required sub-bullets)
Intensity standard always; red-team only if user asks to challenge / break / red-team
Handshake Approve or edit the pass, then later execute now; pass approval is not build
Execution None in same turn unless explicit skip-the-pass-and-build
Question count 5 to 10, ranked by leverage on structure, architecture, audience, scope, workflow, quality
Persistence Offer save under docs/blind-spot-passes/; write only after user confirms
Examples Generic names only (product-a, service-a, repo1)

Steps

  1. Read .cursor/skill-contracts/blind-spot-pass/SKILL.md for the full agent contract; if that file is missing, read ~/.cursor/skill-contracts/blind-spot-pass/SKILL.md.
  2. Execute phases in order (Intake → Discovery → Draft the pass → Deliver); do not skip discovery or start building.
  3. Report the blind spot pass (sections 1 to 5) with §4 sub-bullets and the two-step approval handshake.
  4. Offer optional save under docs/blind-spot-passes/ when the host has docs/; write only after the user confirms.

Anti-patterns

  • Classify all four quadrants. Trigger: drafting the pass from a rough plan. Wrong: skipping unknown knowns or unknown unknowns, or collapsing quadrants into a single list. Correct: populate every quadrant explicitly, marking thin quadrants when the context is sparse. Reason: the pass exists to surface what the prompt omitted, and skipped quadrants hide unstated assumptions.
  • Require §4 Dependencies, Edge cases, and Blast radius. Trigger: writing unknown unknowns. Wrong: a mushy risk paragraph with no sub-bullets. Correct: include all three sub-bullets, or mark N/A when genuinely empty; do not invent facts. Reason: vague §4 lets the model skip failure modes the pass is meant to surface.
  • Ask high-leverage questions, not trivia. Trigger: producing the interview questions. Wrong: listing shallow yes/no questions that would not change the output. Correct: ask 5 to 10 questions ranked by leverage on structure, architecture, audience, scope, workflow, or quality. Reason: low-leverage questions waste the interview gate before building.
  • Stay a blind spot pass. Trigger: user did not ask to challenge or break the plan, or pastes a step-by-step implementation plan for technical audit. Wrong: defaulting to a hostile free-form risk report, or replacing the four quadrants with a principal-engineer plan audit. Correct: use standard unless they ask for red-team / challenge / break; stay map/territory and point them at a dedicated plan-preflight skill, not this one. Reason: this skill audits the ask, not a finished build plan; unsolicited red-team burns tokens.
  • Two-step handshake: pass approval is not build. Trigger: user says "approved" or "LGTM" on the pass. Wrong: scaffolding or coding in that turn. Correct: acknowledge and wait for a later execute now (unless they explicitly skip the pass and build now). Reason: conflating review with build defeats the gate.
  • Implementation notes after execute now. Trigger: follow-up build after execute now. Wrong: silent assumptions during the follow-up build. Correct: maintain an Implementation notes section logging each material assumption (what, why, and what would change if wrong). Reason: unlogged assumptions recreate the blind spots the pass was meant to surface.
  • Docs save only after confirm. Trigger: host has a docs/ directory and the pass is ready. Wrong: writing docs/blind-spot-passes/... unprompted. Correct: offer the path and write only after the user confirms. Reason: unsolicited docs clutter the host workspace.
  • Do not claim a native product feature. Trigger: describing what this deliverable is. Wrong: implying a built-in Cursor product feature. Correct: present this as a portable planning document for Cursor agents. Reason: a native-product claim misleads the user about what shipped.

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.
