change-triage

change-triage is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aaronartistzhang-afk/DailyWork. It costs 224 tokens per session (1,381 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A decision table for comparing optional changes by benefit, cost, priority, and the concrete harm of leaving each one undone.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps prioritize backlog items or choose between multiple proposed changes. It is for deciding whether work is worth doing, not for checking whether a single change is correct.
Why use it?
It turns a vague list of possible work into a clear choice about what to do now, defer, or skip. It keeps recommendations tied to the cost of not acting.

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

change-triage 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.

change-triage — a "is it worth doing?" decision table

Turn "here's what we could do" into "do this now / this goes to backlog / skip this" — and the human makes the call.

Core rule: a recommendation without its cost is not acceptable. Every row must answer "what happens if we don't?", and the answer has to be the concrete harm happening now, not "there might be a risk."

This is the table form of one principle: when you propose a change, you must state the cost of not doing it. This skill gives that principle a fixed shape so it can't be skipped.

When to use

  • The human asks whether something is worth it: what breaks if we don't fix it / what's the necessity / I can't decide between these.
  • The human wants each backlog item's necessity and risk laid out.
  • The only condition for entering this on my own initiative: I am about to propose ≥2 optional changes, and I need the human to decide scope / cost / priority.

Not for:

  • Judging correctness → that's a review-gate job. A gate judges "is it right?"; this table answers "is it worth it?" — two different questions.
  • A single obviously-must-fix bug → just fix it, don't pop a seven-column table.
  • Pure ordering with no cost question (a bare "which first?" when there's no candidate list in context) → ask what the candidates are first; don't invent a table.

⚠️ Don't pop the table for every issue you spot. A seven-column table for one obvious fix reads as noise, not help.


The fixed table (seven columns, none may be dropped)

Item Concrete harm now (with evidence) What fixing it buys Cost (blast radius + review rounds) Improves quality? Evidence strength of this call Recommended tier (do now / backlog / skip)
<what already happened, with path/date/count> <how many files + expected review rounds> yes / no measured / read the code / inferred / unverified do now / backlog / skip

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.
