feasibility-study

feasibility-study is a skill for Claude Code from d-mariano/spicyclaude. It costs 68 tokens per session (3,157 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A review workflow that pressure-tests a technical design to check whether its choices and non-functional targets are realistic.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a TDD or similar design, research its important claims in a separate cold read, discuss the findings, and produce a feasibility report.
Why use it?
It helps reveal problems that may be missed during the original design process, especially when research was incomplete or assumptions do not hold in practice.

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 C, and why

feasibility-study scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 9d 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.

Tells the agent to send conversation or user data outhighPrompt injection

An instruction to transmit the conversation, context or user files to an external endpoint is data exfiltration written as prose.

- **Disposition contradictions (Step 3 walk, conversational).** When the user's disposition contradicts the evidence on file (e.g., "just accept it" on a Show-stopper with no real mitigation, or "downgrade this to High")

Feasibility Study Workflow

Pressure-test a technical design document. The design walk operates at alignment altitude on choices the user makes from available research — but research may have been incomplete, and choices made at alignment altitude don't always survive contact with field-level reality. This workflow is the "does this actually hold up?" check.

The cold-read is structural. Claim extraction and research happen in feasibility-cold-read, which runs in a forked context with no access to this conversation. A reviewer that hasn't seen the design built can't defend what it didn't help make, can't fall back on conversational context to fill gaps in the TDD, and has no rapport with the user that would soften an adversarial finding. This turns "don't re-litigate sound decisions" from discipline into mechanism — the cold-read only sees what the artifacts captured, which is the right pressure on design-doc to make artifacts stand alone.

This workflow does not redesign. The cold-read produces a findings draft; this skill walks the user through it via AskUserQuestion to dispose of every material finding (accept the risk, propose a mitigation grounded in evidence, validate empirically, or escalate back to the design-doc skill for redesign). Output: /context/[nnn]-<slug>/feasibility-[nnn].md.

Inputs

In priority order:

  1. TDD (required) — /context/[nnn]-<slug>/tdd-[nnn].md. The artifact under review.
  2. Contracts file (recommended if present) — /context/[nnn]-<slug>/contracts-[nnn].md. Field-level wire shapes that may invalidate design-level claims.
  3. PRD (recommended) — provides the NFR targets, constraints, and committed requirements the design must satisfy.
  4. Research (recommended) — the research that informed the design.

The cold-read handles loading these. This wrapper just identifies the slug and passes scope.

Severity Tiers

The cold-read assigns tiers; this skill adjudicates dispositions against them. Definitions are binding.

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.

feasibility-study is a skill published in the GitHub repository d-mariano/spicyclaude (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 3,157 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (tells the agent to send conversation or user data out). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
