consult-action-fields

consult-action-fields is a skill for Claude Code from cogni-work/insight-wave. It costs 238 tokens per session (4,872 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A work-plan manager for a consulting engagement. It organizes the work into action fields, which are groups of related deliverables, and tracks their status.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for listing deliverables, planning each work area, choosing the next task, and adding, splitting, or merging work areas.
Why use it?
It gives the team a clear view of what needs to be produced, what is underway, and what should happen next.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

consult-action-fields 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 — 401 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Action-Field WBS Management

Manage the engagement's work-breakdown structure: each action field named during scoping is a container whose field.json manifests the deliverables that complete it. This skill renders the WBS dashboard (fields × deliverables × status), plans each field's deliverable set from $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/references/deliverable-types.md, recommends the next unstarted deliverable, and keeps consult-project.json and the action-fields/ tree consistent when fields are added, split, or merged. It manages the manifest layer only — producing a deliverable is the work of its producing route (a consult-design-thinking run by default).

Workflow

0. Resolve the Interaction Language

Before any user-facing output, resolve the interaction language — the workspace default, overridden by the user's message language — per $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/references/interaction-language.md, which owns the resolution ladder. Conduct the entire conversation in the resolved language. It is independent of the engagement's language field, which is the deliverable axis. This contract holds on the default path: it does not depend on an output style being active.

The description of a Bash tool call is rendered to the consultant, so it is user copy — write it in the interaction language, outcome-shaped, at most 6 words, with no script, file, or skill names, and never derived from the script's filename or header comment. Worked pair: Discover cogni-consult engagementsLaufende Engagements holen. Section (f) of the canonical ecosystem register owns these five constraints — edit them there first, then mirror into $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/references/user-facing-output.md and here.

The register that output follows has two tiers. The overlay $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/references/user-facing-output.md carries this plugin's own state lexicon, coinages and German step vocabulary, and opens with the command that reads the canonical ecosystem register behind it — which owns scope, the table contract, step announcements and brevity budgets, and the executive register. Read the overlay and follow that command; table cells and headers are user copy too, not an exemption.

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.
