team-question

team-question is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from bostonaholic/team. It costs 32 tokens per session (1,260 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A task-decomposition guide that turns a feature request, ticket, or issue into clear questions and planning documents for later work.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps shape ideas, break down tasks, identify when a product document is needed, and record work across multiple repositories.
Why use it?
It prevents a vague request from being passed straight into implementation. It also separates the original intent from neutral questions used for research.

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

team-question 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 yesterday.

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 — 101 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Team Question — Decompose the Task

Run the QUESTION phase only, then stop. The Question phase decomposes the user's intent into the artifacts that the rest of the QRSPI pipeline consumes:

  • 1-task.md — the human's full intent. Read by design-author and downstream phases that need intent. Never read by researcher or file-finder — they only see 2-questions.md.
  • 2-questions.md — neutral research questions phrased without intent. The only file researcher and file-finder ever read.
  • 3-prd.md — written only when the request is vague, multi-story, cross-cutting, or replaces existing behavior (criteria in skills/product-requirements-doc/SKILL.md, loaded conditionally through skills/decomposing-intent/SKILL.md). Referenced from 1-task.md. read downstream by design-author.
  • 4-repos.md — written only when the topic spans more than one repository. Lists each involved repo's slug, absolute path, and role. Its presence switches the rest of the pipeline into multi-repo mode (one worktree per repo, slice/step [repo: <slug>] annotations, one PR per repo). See skills/qrspi-workflow/SKILL.md for the schema and skills/decomposing-intent/SKILL.md for the detection rules.

These files live in docs/plans/<id>/ where <id> is either a ticket-derived slug (ENG-1234-add-rate-limiting) or a date-derived slug (2026-05-01-add-rate-limiting).

Input

$ARGUMENTS may be:

  • A ticket identifier (e.g. ENG-1234) — recorded as ticketId on 1-task.md's frontmatter. The orchestrator does not call any ticketing system. The ID is stored for the user's reference.
  • An issue URL (e.g. https://github.com/org/repo/issues/42) — fetched with gh issue view (or equivalent) to extract the title and body before decomposition.
  • Free-form text — treated directly as the feature/task description.

When $ARGUMENTS is empty, discover, do not demand: ground in repo context before asking. Read recent git log activity and the repo's README / CLAUDE.md to propose a likely topic, then use AskUserQuestion with labeled options to fill any genuine gap in intent. Never bare-stop with a plain "describe it" demand when context is already available.

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.
