priority-assessment

priority-assessment is a skill for Claude Code from aigentive/RalphX. It costs 12 tokens per session (1,290 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for assigning task priority scores from dependencies, critical-path position, business value, complexity, and user hints.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to calculate scores from 0 to 100 and document the reasoning behind task order.
Why use it?
It gives teams a consistent way to compare tasks and explain why one should be handled before another.

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

priority-assessment 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 1mo 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.

Priority Assessment Skill

This skill helps calculate meaningful priority scores for tasks based on multiple factors.

Priority Score Formula

Priority scores range from 0-100 and are calculated from five factors:

Priority Score = Dependency (30) + Critical Path (25) + Business Value (20) + Complexity (15) + User Hints (10)

Factor Breakdown

1. Dependency Factor (Max 30 points)

How many other tasks does this task block?

Blocks Score Reasoning
0 tasks 0 No other tasks waiting on this
1 task 10 Minor blocker
2 tasks 18 Moderate blocker
3 tasks 24 Significant blocker
4+ tasks 30 Critical path item

Example: "Create auth context" blocks login, logout, protected routes, and session persistence = 30 points

2. Critical Path Factor (Max 25 points)

Is this task on the longest path to completion?

Position Score Reasoning
Not on critical path 0 Can be done in parallel
On critical path, short 10 Part of main sequence
On critical path, medium 18 Important stepping stone
On critical path, start 25 Must be done first

Example: "Define database schema" at the start of data layer critical path = 25 points

3. Business Value Factor (Max 20 points)

How much value does this deliver to users/stakeholders?

Value Score Indicators
Low 0-5 Technical debt, internal only
Medium 6-12 Incremental improvement
High 13-17 Core functionality
Critical 18-20 User-facing, revenue-impacting

Keywords that suggest high value:

  • "user", "customer", "revenue"
  • "security", "performance"
  • "core", "essential", "required"
  • "blocking", "urgent"

Example: "Add payment processing" = 20 points (revenue-critical)

4. Complexity Factor (Max 15 points)

Simpler tasks should be done first (higher priority) when other factors are equal.

Complexity Score Characteristics
Trivial 15 <30 min, config change
Simple 12 1-2 hours, single file
Moderate 8 2-4 hours, multiple files
Complex 4 4+ hours, architecture
Very Complex 0 Multi-day, high risk

priority-assessment is a skill published in the GitHub repository aigentive/RalphX (5 stars, last pushed 24d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 1,290 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
