evaluate-options

A research workflow for comparing different ways to implement a software change. It assigns each option to a separate researcher and collects findings before making a recommendation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when several implementation approaches are possible and you need to decide which one best fits the problem and project constraints.
Why use it?
It avoids choosing an approach based only on assumptions or preference. The comparison is supported by evidence from the codebase and relevant documentation.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

evaluate-options 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 2d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 83 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Evaluate Options

Do not present options to the user without evidence. Every recommendation must be grounded in research, not assertion.

Phase 1: Identify Options

State each candidate option as a concrete, implementable approach. If options are not yet identified, identify them before proceeding.

Phase 2: Launch Parallel Research Agents

Launch one option-researcher agent per option in a single message so they run concurrently. Each agent is defined at .claude/skills/evaluate-options/agents/option-researcher.md.

Pass this exact input block to each agent:

PROBLEM: {problem statement and constraints}
OPTION: {option name and one-sentence description}
OPTION_SLUG: {short-identifier-for-filename}
CONTEXT_PATHS:
  - scripts/hallucination-audit-stop.cjs
  - {any other relevant file paths or doc URLs}
OUTPUT_PATH: ~/.hd/option-eval-{option-slug}-{YYYYMMDD}.md

Example — evaluating two approaches to sentence splitting:

# Agent 1 task
PROBLEM: Add sentence-level scoring to findTriggerMatches() without breaking the hook contract (stdout must remain empty or valid JSON block).
OPTION: Inline regex splitter — split text on sentence boundaries using /[.!?]\s+/ before iterating trigger patterns
OPTION_SLUG: inline-regex-splitter
CONTEXT_PATHS:
  - scripts/hallucination-audit-stop.cjs
  - tests/hallucination-audit-stop.test.cjs
  - hooks/hooks.json
OUTPUT_PATH: ~/.hd/option-eval-inline-regex-splitter-20260310.md

# Agent 2 task
PROBLEM: Add sentence-level scoring to findTriggerMatches() without breaking the hook contract (stdout must remain empty or valid JSON block).
OPTION: Segmenter API — use Intl.Segmenter with granularity "sentence" to split text before iterating trigger patterns
OPTION_SLUG: intl-segmenter
CONTEXT_PATHS:
  - scripts/hallucination-audit-stop.cjs
  - tests/hallucination-audit-stop.test.cjs
  - hooks/hooks.json
OUTPUT_PATH: ~/.hd/option-eval-intl-segmenter-20260310.md

Each agent answers for its option:

  1. What does this option do — mechanically, step by step?
  2. What does it protect against or solve?
  3. What does it leave unprotected or unsolved?
  4. What are the failure modes?
  5. What evidence from the codebase or documentation supports or argues against this option? (cite file paths and line numbers)

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

evaluate-options is a skill published in the GitHub repository bitflight-devops/hallucination-detector (7 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 97 tokens to every session and 832 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
