assess

assess is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Borda/AI-Rig. It costs 19 tokens per session (2,297 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An evidence-first analysis tool for examining an issue, pull request, problem, or code area before implementation, review, release, or coordination. It produces ranked findings, confidence levels, and measurable conditions for completion.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate repository areas, issue text, code changes, reports, or GitHub items before changing code. It helps assess risk and decide whether work is ready to proceed.
Why use it?
It reduces decisions based on guesses or incomplete context by requiring findings to be supported by source material. It also makes the next action and definition of done explicit.

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

assess 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 165 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Before asking, read User Questions.

Assess

Task-size routing follows Proportional Execution; this skill's specialized lifecycle and acceptance checks remain authoritative.

Run evidence-first analysis: truth, risk, next action before implementation, review, release, sync.

Input Schema

{
  "question": "required analysis question",
  "scope": "required files, diff, issue text, report path, PR number, or repo area",
  "mode": "optional local|github|report|ecosystem; default local",
  "done_when": "findings are source-backed, ranked, and have explicit confidence"
}

Workflow

For allowed GitHub reads, run the direct helper under current effective network and filesystem grants or request runtime approval for the complete owning command when required capability is unavailable. No separate workflow consent is needed. Apply GitHub Read Execution; an explicit runtime denial or non-overridable restriction stops the attempt.

When runtime permissions show network access enabled and the helper's required paths writable, omit sandbox_permissions and justification on the direct helper call; give no approval brief. Apply GitHub Read Execution even when the active profile name is omitted. A missing label or failed lookup does not mean disabled access; do not run codex execpolicy list to detect a profile. Preserve explicit destination restrictions and check report, .git, and checkout paths separately where applicable.

Codex provides this selected SKILL.md path. Resolve PLUGIN_ROOT as directory two levels above containing skill directory, then use only helpers under PLUGIN_ROOT/shared/ that are listed in package-manifest.json. Never guess cache version or fall back to source checkout.

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.
