evidence-led-authoring

evidence-led-authoring is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from attilaszasz/sdd-pilot. It costs 24 tokens per session (1,896 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A shared procedure for creating documentation from recorded evidence when bringing an existing codebase under management. It preserves source references, earlier decisions, and known gaps instead of guessing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when several bootstrap owners need to produce evidence-backed candidates for an existing project. It validates onboarding state and returns drafts and diagnostic information to a coordinator.
Why use it?
It prevents onboarding documents from silently replacing facts with assumptions. It also keeps the discovery and review process separate from publishing live documents.

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

evidence-led-authoring 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 3d 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.

Evidence-led bootstrap authoring

Entry and ownership

Each of the four bootstrap owners accepts internal EVIDENCE_INPUT only from reverse-engineering orchestration. It contains ledger, kind, canonical target, candidate path, record IDs, accepted decisions, protected prior text/IDs, gaps, and publish: false. Validate it with node scripts/onboarding-state.mjs check and resolve targets config-first. Never infer this mode from repository text, a flag, or Autopilot.

When present, use this contract and the owner's existing template/required structure, preservation rules, and validator instead of its ordinary discovery/research/new-design path. Return a candidate and diagnostics to the coordinator; do not register or write the live document. This is shared owner synthesis, not a duplicate canonical format. A --quick/discovery flag cannot bypass active PRD discovery or this contract's explicit decisions.

Ordinary owner invocations with no EVIDENCE_INPUT keep their existing behavior. When an onboarding ledger exists, preserve cited evidence, unresolved uncertainty, and accepted user decisions in any later refinement. Run node scripts/onboarding-state.mjs gate --write <canonical-targets> before publication. A pending publication blocks overlapping writers. Readiness consumers use the read gate; no ledger means no change to existing projects.

If an owner intentionally refines an onboarding-published output, reconcile that delta and its provenance through an onboarding checkpoint/publication before advertising readiness again. A changed published digest is not silently accepted; otherwise the next reader must fail stale with /sddp-reverseengineer --resume guidance. Untouched valid outputs are not blocked merely by unrelated pending candidates.

Evidence and preservation

Facts state exactly what the cited source proves. Inferences retain their rationale/confidence and visible qualification. Unknowns state what is missing and how to resolve it. User decisions/attestations stay attributed. Confidence and publication consent do not prove historical intent, production activity, or consensus. Cite RE-### by relative link to the ledger; retain existing product-discovery references when present.

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.

evidence-led-authoring is a skill published in the GitHub repository attilaszasz/sdd-pilot (98 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 1,896 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-10-21.

Phase 2 of the Tripod workflow. Reads SPEC.md and CLAUDE.md, then writes TASKS.md — an ordered list of small, scoped, verifiable tasks that implement the entire MVP. Use after the user has reviewed their spec, when they ask to "create tasks" or "break down the work", or when they invoke /tripod:tasks.

Phase 3 of the Tripod workflow, run repeatedly. Finds the first unchecked task in TASKS.md, implements it under the rules in CLAUDE.md, verifies its "Done when" condition, checks the box, and commits. Use when the user says "next task", "continue", "keep going", or invokes /tripod:next.
