focus-and-priority-review

A workflow for choosing the next task by considering goals, commitments, deadlines, risks, dependencies, and current conditions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Triaging tasks, selecting a primary focus, recovering from interruptions, and choosing a bounded next action.
Why use it?
It helps resolve competing priorities and regain focus when it is unclear what to do next.

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

focus-and-priority-review 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.

Focus And Priority Review

Purpose

Help the assistant and user choose the next best action from current evidence. This skill maps priority-review concepts to Stram's cognitive priority tools.

When To Use

Use when the user asks "what should I do next", "continue", "prioritize this", "what is important", or when autonomous work needs a bounded next action.

Inputs And Evidence

  • Active goals, tasks, and focus from cognitive_state.
  • Commitments, wakeups, and recent briefings.
  • Environment constraints and current system status.
  • User urgency, deadlines, and interruption tolerance.

Tool Map

  • cognitive_priority_review
  • cognitive_priority_status
  • cognitive_state
  • cognitive_environment_status
  • cognitive_commitment_status
  • automation_daemon_tick

Workflow

  1. Gather active work and explicit user constraints.
  2. Identify hard deadlines, blockers, dependencies, and high-risk unresolved items.
  3. Ask the model to rank next actions from evidence instead of task title similarity.
  4. Choose one primary focus and at most a few secondary items.
  5. If autonomous mode is active, queue only one interruptible next action unless explicitly allowed.
  6. Communicate the reasoning and what will be deferred.

Safety And Boundaries

  • Do not bury user-explicit priorities under inferred priorities.
  • Do not trigger high-risk work without approval.
  • Do not keep cycling priority reviews when the next action is already clear.

Safety And Approval

  • Priority review can recommend work, but it cannot authorize high-risk tools, external-visible actions, or durable state changes by itself.
  • Preserve explicit user priorities over inferred urgency unless current evidence shows a blocker or safety issue.
  • Do not queue autonomous work unless the user allowed initiative or the active goal requires bounded continuation.
  • Avoid repeated priority loops that consume time without creating a concrete next action.

Native Implementation Boundaries

  • Use Stram priority review/status, cognitive state, environment, commitment, and automation daemon tools.
  • The model ranks actions from evidence; deterministic code must not rank by recency, keyword, or static urgency lists.
  • Queue/status changes must be visible in native records before claiming the assistant will act later.

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.

focus-and-priority-review is a skill published in the GitHub repository CodeInfinity1/Stram (10 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 604 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
