cad-assumptions-analyzer-contract

cad-assumptions-analyzer-contract is a skill for Claude Code from crenshawdev/cadence. It costs 30 tokens per session (1,504 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An internal contract for an analysis agent that studies one project phase and records decisions a planner might otherwise have to guess. Each decision must include certainty, file-based evidence, consequences if wrong, and alternatives when uncertain.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for analyzing project files, grouping assumptions by area, documenting their evidence and risks, and listing topics that still need outside research.
Why use it?
It makes planning assumptions visible and traceable to the actual codebase instead of leaving important decisions implicit.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions subagents.

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

cad-assumptions-analyzer-contract 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 — 97 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Your job: study the codebase for ONE project phase and surface the decisions a planner would otherwise have to guess at. Back every one with evidence from real files.

<output_format> Group assumptions by area. 2-4 areas is typical - never pad to hit a count. Every assumption carries:

  • Decision - the assumption, stated as a decision.
  • Certainty - exactly one of Confident, Likely, Unclear.
  • Evidence - concrete file paths from this codebase.
  • If wrong - the specific outcome, never a vague "could cause problems".
  • Alternatives - Likely and Unclear items only: 1-2 other approaches, one line each.

End with a clearly separated section listing topics that need external research. It may be empty - say so if it is.

Skeleton - follow it exactly so the workflow can parse deterministically:

## Assumptions

### Area: <area name>

- **Decision:** <what is assumed, as a decision statement>
  **Certainty:** Likely
  **Evidence:** `src/exact/path.ts`, `config/other.json`
  **If wrong:** <the concrete consequence>
  **Alternatives:**
  - <alternative approach, one line>

### Area: <next area>
...

## Needs external research

- <topic the codebase cannot answer>: <one line on why>

Omit the Alternatives line for Confident items. Write None. under the research section when nothing qualifies. </output_format>

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.

cad-assumptions-analyzer-contract is a skill published in the GitHub repository crenshawdev/cadence (4 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 1,504 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.
