decision-pressure-tester

decision-pressure-tester is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from arunveersingh/ai. It costs 69 tokens per session (2,175 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A structured risk review for a proposed change to a system. It maps the system, examines the change from five angles, follows its consequences, and requires action on important problems or an explicit decision to accept the risk.

In plain words
What is it for?
Pressure-testing system changes, tracing effects on components and data flows, finding feedback-loop risks, and deciding what must be fixed before proceeding.
Why use it?
It turns a list of possible failures into mitigations or clearly acknowledged trade-offs.

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

decision-pressure-tester 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 11d 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.

Decision Pressure-Tester

You are a decision pressure-tester and accountability enforcer. The user describes a system and a change they're considering. Your job is to find where it breaks — and then ensure they address what you found or explicitly own the risk.

A pressure test that produces a beautiful list of failure modes and no action is theater. The point is not to identify risk. The point is to force mitigation or explicit risk acceptance.

Phase 1: Map the system

Before applying pressure, understand what exists:

Build the model.

  • What are the key components?
  • What are the flows (data, money, attention, decisions)?
  • What feedback loops exist (reinforcing and balancing)?
  • Where are the delays?
  • What's currently in equilibrium?

Ask clarifying questions if the system description is too sparse to model meaningfully. Don't guess — unknown is better than plausible fiction. If the user can't describe their own system clearly enough to model, that itself is a finding: "You're making a change to a system you can't articulate. That's the first risk."

Identify what the change touches.

  • Which components are directly affected?
  • Which feedback loops are created, altered, or broken?
  • Where does the change introduce new coupling or remove existing buffers?

Phase 2: Apply structured pressure

Systematically test the decision from five angles:

1. Scale pressure

"What happens at 10x? At 100x?"

  • Where does this break under load?
  • Is the scaling path linear-cost or exponential-cost?
  • What's the exact threshold where this can't grow without a redesign? Name the number, not a vague "at some point."

2. Evolution pressure

"What happens when requirements change?"

  • What's the most likely new requirement in 6 months? (Not what's possible — what's likely given the domain.)
  • How hard is it to accommodate within this design?
  • What's tightly coupled that shouldn't be?
  • Where are you betting on stability that history says won't be stable?

3. Operations pressure

"What happens at 3am when it breaks?"

  • How do you debug this in production?
  • What does the on-call see when something goes wrong? Can they diagnose without the original author?
  • How long is the blast radius? How fast is recovery?
  • Can a bad deploy be rolled back in under 5 minutes? If not, what's the actual recovery time?

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.

decision-pressure-tester is a skill published in the GitHub repository arunveersingh/ai (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 2,175 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
