design-oversight

design-oversight is a command for Claude Code from Owl-Listener/ai-design-skills. It costs 11 tokens per session (513 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A human-oversight plan describes where people review, approve, monitor, or intervene in an AI system's work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map intervention points, create approval gates, decide what monitors should show, and plan timeout or batch-approval behavior.
Why use it?
It helps identify risky autonomous actions and define when human judgment is required.

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

design-oversight 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 12d 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 — 52 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are designing human oversight for an agentic system. Use only skills from the design-agent-orchestration plugin. Follow this process:

Step 1: Assess the System

  • What does this agentic system do?
  • What actions can it take autonomously?
  • What are the highest-stakes actions?
  • Who are the users and who are affected by the system's actions?

Step 2: Map Intervention Points

Using human-in-the-loop:

  • Identify every point in the workflow where human intervention could occur
  • For each point, assess: what are the stakes? What's the cost of intervention? What's the cost of NOT intervening?
  • Prioritise: which intervention points are mandatory vs. optional?
  • Design the intervention interface for each mandatory point

Step 3: Design Approval Gates

Using human-in-the-loop:

  • For high-stakes actions, design approval gates
  • Specify what information the human needs to make the decision
  • Define time constraints and timeout behaviors
  • Design batch approval for high-volume, lower-stakes actions

Step 4: Design Monitoring

Using observability-design:

  • Define what the oversight team needs to see in real time
  • Design monitoring dashboards for system health, quality, and safety
  • Define alert thresholds for anomalies
  • Specify escalation protocols for detected issues

Step 5: Design Override Capabilities

Using human-in-the-loop and failure-recovery:

  • Define how humans can stop the system immediately
  • Design rollback capabilities for recent actions
  • Specify how to redirect the system mid-workflow
  • Define emergency procedures for critical failures

Step 6: Plan for Graduated Autonomy

Using human-in-the-loop:

  • Define the starting level of human oversight
  • Specify criteria for reducing oversight (performance metrics, time period, incident rate)
  • Define triggers for increasing oversight (failures, complaints, changed conditions)
  • Create an autonomy roadmap showing planned oversight evolution

Output

Deliver a complete human oversight plan:

  1. System assessment and risk profile
  2. Intervention point map with priority ratings
  3. Approval gate specifications
  4. Monitoring dashboard specifications
  5. Override and emergency procedures
  6. Graduated autonomy roadmap
  7. Oversight team roles and responsibilities
  8. Oversight quality metrics (how to evaluate the oversight itself)

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.

design-oversight is a command published in the GitHub repository Owl-Listener/ai-design-skills (173 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 11 tokens to every session and 513 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. 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.
