so-what-test

so-what-test is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ConrayGambit/Strategy-Consultant-5-Consulting-Frameworks. It costs 50 tokens per session (1,017 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A short analysis method that turns findings into a concrete recommendation through three sections: Process, Result, and Insight.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after reviewing data or evidence when you need to state what was examined, what happened, and what someone should do next.
Why use it?
It prevents an analysis from ending with observations that do not explain what action should follow.

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

so-what-test 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 12d 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.

The "So What?" Test

Concept

Most analyses fail at the last step. People surface findings, lay out data, and stop — leaving the reader to figure out what it means and what to do. The "So What?" test forces you to close the loop: every finding must lead to an action specific enough to assign.

A finding without a "so what" is trivia. A finding with a "so what" is a recommendation.

Required output format

Three explicitly labeled sections, in this order:

**Process:** [What specific data, workflow, or factor was analyzed.]

**Result:** [The objective outcome — numbers, signals, observations.]

**Insight:** [The underlying reason this matters + the immediate action. Specific enough to assign to a person with a deadline.]

Defaults & flex points

Default When to flex
Process is one or two clauses Don't flex — long preamble buries the answer.
Result has numbers or specific observations Don't flex — vague Results undermine the Insight.
One Insight per block If multiple actions are warranted, write multiple So What blocks rather than one Insight with three bullets.
Insight names who, what, and by when Don't flex — that's the test.

The assignability test: could you copy your Insight into an assignment to a named person with a deadline, and would they know what to do? If not, rewrite it.

Example — HR / people analytics

Problem: Mid-level engineering attrition has risen for three consecutive quarters. The VP of Engineering wants to know why and what to do.

Bad

Process: Looked at attrition data.

Result: Attrition went up.

Insight: We should focus on retention.

(Process is too vague. Result has no number. Insight is unassignable. Three failures.)

Better

Process: Joined exit-interview transcripts (n=24) with promotion-cycle data, comp-band placement, and manager-tenure data for all mid-level engineers (L4–L5) who left between Q2 of last year and Q1 of this year. Compared to a control cohort of L4–L5 engineers who stayed.

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.
