ng-deficiency

ng-deficiency is a command for coding agents from FlyFission/nuclear-grade-context-engineering. It costs 0 tokens per session (621 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A standing list for known problems that are not being fixed immediately, such as flaky tests, noisy alerts, or recurring incidents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to record, age, assign, fix, or formally accept the risk of ongoing deficiencies.
Why use it?
It prevents accepted problems from becoming invisible or forgotten by giving each one an owner, date, and decision.

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

ng-deficiency 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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 58 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ng-deficiency

Portable command prompt generated from skills/tracking-deficiencies/SKILL.md. Edit the skill, then run python tools/ng.py gen-commands; do not edit this file by hand.

Keeps a standing register of known deficiencies so flaky tests, noisy alerts, unowned services, and recurring incidents get aged, owned, and fixed or formally risk-accepted instead of quietly normalized. Use when a known problem will outlive a single change. Do not use for a one-off lesson already closed inside a packet, or for brand-new work with no accepted deficiency yet.

Use when

  • A known problem will outlive the current change: a flaky test, a noisy alert, an unowned service, a dead dashboard, a recurring incident, or deferred hardening.
  • A review or incident surfaced something real that is not being fixed right now.
  • You want to convert "we all know about that" into an owned, dated, decided entry.

Do not use when

  • A lesson is already fully closed inside a packet and needs no standing tracking.
  • The work is brand-new and has no accepted deficiency yet (rate it as a normal change instead).
  • The item is an active incident needing response, not logging (use responding-to-incidents).

Inputs

  • The deficiency, where it shows up, and how it was found.
  • Its consequence and how often it bites.
  • Who could own it, and whether a fix or a formal risk-acceptance is the right disposition.
  • Any related incident, OPEX lesson, or controlled item.

Prompt text

Log this deficiency the Nuclear-grade way.

Inputs:
- deficiency and where it shows up:
- how it was found:
- consequence and frequency:
- candidate owner:
- related incident / OPEX / controlled item:

Return:
- a one-line description with a link to where it shows up
- the date first seen, so its age is visible
- the assigned owner (an unowned deficiency is itself a finding)
- the disposition: fix by a date, or formally accept the risk with a named owner and a revisit date
- the review trigger so an accepted risk does not become permanent by default
- links to related incident, OPEX, and controlled-item records

Decide fix-or-accept; never leave it as a silent "known issue." Do not imply formal assurance.

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.

ng-deficiency is a command published in the GitHub repository FlyFission/nuclear-grade-context-engineering (33 stars, last pushed 26d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 621 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 2026-08-30.
