rfc-proposal-writer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from codebygarv/Ai-skills. It costs 29 tokens per session (293 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writer for formal Requests for Comments, or RFCs: documents used to propose and review significant technical changes. It covers motivation, design, alternatives, security, and rollout.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for architectural refactors, new services or shared libraries, major vendors, new languages, and other initiatives needing a detailed proposal.
Why use it?
It provides a consistent way to explain major engineering decisions and build agreement before code is written.

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

rfc-proposal-writer 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 8d 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.

What it actually says

Purpose

Author comprehensive, highly structured Request for Comments (RFC) engineering proposals that clearly articulate the motivation, technical design, alternatives considered, security implications, and rollout phases for major technical initiatives.

When to Use

  • Proposing large architectural refactors, new microservices, or shared libraries.
  • Introducing major third-party vendors or new programming languages to the stack.
  • Building consensus across distributed engineering teams before writing code.

What to Analyze

  1. Problem Statement & Motivation: What business or engineering pain point requires solving now?
  2. Proposed Solution & Architecture: System diagrams, API payloads, schema migrations, and sequence flows.
  3. Non-Goals: Explicitly stating what this proposal will not attempt to solve.
  4. Security & Privacy Considerations: Auth, PII handling, rate limiting, attack surface.
  5. Rollout & Migration Strategy: Phased rollout, feature flags, rollback triggers, and monitoring metrics.

Output Format

  • Markdown RFC document with formal sections: Summary, Motivation, Detailed Design, Drawbacks, Alternatives Considered, Rollout Plan.

Avoid

  • Hand-waving implementation details without concrete data schemas or API payloads.
  • Omitting drawbacks and potential operational hazards.
Files

What ships with it

2 files 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.
