ariadne: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/prioritize/SKILL.md

prioritize is a skill for Claude Code from CRJFisher/ariadne. It costs 60 tokens per session (8,538 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A human-controlled planning tool that investigates selected proposed fixes, combines related refactoring work, and promotes chosen plans into backlog tasks. A backlog is the project's list of planned work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate change groups, define epics and subtasks, and export selected work into backlog files.
Why use it?
It keeps rough automated proposals separate from verified work and ensures that creating backlog tasks remains an explicit decision.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

This is CRJFisher/ariadne's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on ariadne itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything ariadne configures →

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

prioritize 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 5d 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 — 605 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Prioritize

Graduate planned work into the user's backlog/. The plan skill leaves proposed fixes as PlanTask rows in its task-DB at ~/.ariadne/plan/tasks/; this skill is the deliberate, human-invoked step that turns the cheap plan into a verified refactoring design and picks which of those rows become real backlog tasks.

It does three things the plan engine deliberately does not: it deep-investigates each change group against the real packages/core code (via the refactor-investigator sub-agent) to produce a concrete refactoring plan, it consolidates across those investigations (via the refactor-consolidator sub-agent) to decide which groups are linked and must graduate as one epic, and it graduates the selected rows into backlog/. Graduation runs through one script:

.claude/skills/plan/scripts/export_to_backlog.ts

That script is the only writer of backlog/tasks/*.md cards in the pipeline (graduate_group_docs.ts moves graduated comprehension docs alongside them). It is never run on the autonomous sweep — graduation is always a human decision, which is what this skill exists to make. The investigation is design-only: the refactor-investigator reads packages/core but never writes it, and the comprehension doc it stages graduates into backlog/ only for the groups the user funds.

Two graduation destinations. Most groups graduate into backlog/ as refactoring work (the pipeline below). A permanent-limitation group — a call relationship fundamentally unknowable to static analysis, not a fixable Ariadne bug, marked is_permanent_limitation by the plan engine and confirmed by the human — does not become a backlog card at all. It becomes a classifier registry entry: for these groups, dispatch the classifier-author agent in place of refactor-investigator, producing a staged draft the human reviews and applies via reconcile-registry --stage (see "Permanent-limitation groups" below).

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.

prioritize is a skill published in the GitHub repository CRJFisher/ariadne (23 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 8,538 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-06.
