prioritize

prioritize is a command for Claude Code from jayminwest/mulch. It costs 2 tokens per session (1,117 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning command that reviews open GitHub Issues and Seeds issues, then compares them with the health of the codebase. It recommends about five issues to work on next.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose the next work items, either across the whole project or within an area such as commands, schemas, or scoring.
Why use it?
It brings issue details, dependencies, tests, linting, type checks, and unfinished-code markers into one review instead of making developers inspect them separately.

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

prioritize 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 4d 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 — 115 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

description

Analyze all open issues across GitHub Issues and Seeds, cross-reference with codebase health, and recommend the top ~5 issues to tackle next.

Argument: $ARGUMENTS — optional: a label or area to focus on (e.g., commands, schemas, scoring). If empty, analyze everything.

gather-issues

Use the Task tool to spawn three parallel agents:

Agent A: GitHub Issues

  • Run gh issue list --state open --limit 50 --json number,title,author,labels,createdAt,updatedAt,body
  • For each issue, capture: number, title, labels, author, creation date, body summary
  • Note any issues with community engagement (comments, thumbs-up, external authors)

Agent B: Seeds Issues

  • Run sd list and sd ready
  • For each open issue, run sd show <id> to get full details
  • Capture: id, title, type, priority, status, description, dependencies/blockers
  • Build a dependency graph: which issues block which

Agent C: Codebase Health

  • Run bun test and capture pass/fail counts
  • Run bun run lint and capture error counts
  • Run bun run typecheck and capture error counts
  • Search for TODO, FIXME, HACK comments and count them
  • Check which source files lack test coverage (compare src/**/*.ts vs test/**/*.test.ts)
  • Summarize: is the codebase healthy, or are there quality issues that need attention

cross-reference

After all three agents complete:

  • Deduplicate: Match GitHub issues to Seeds issues that describe the same work (same title, overlapping description, related files)
  • Dependency mapping: Identify chains — issues that must be done before others can start
  • Cluster detection: Group related issues that could be tackled together (same subsystem, same theme, same files)
  • Staleness check: Flag issues that have been open a long time with no activity

scoring

For every unique issue (deduplicated), assess:

a. Impact

  • Does it fix a bug that blocks users?
  • Does it enable new capabilities or unblock other work?
  • How many other issues does it unblock (dependency graph)?
  • Does it affect external users (GitHub issues from community)?

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.
