map-information-asymmetry

map-information-asymmetry is a skill for Claude Code from daddia/claude-for-strategy. It costs 67 tokens per session (1,265 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A framework for finding cases where one side in a deal, negotiation, hiring process, or relationship knows important information the other side may not.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify each party’s private information, assess who may be better informed, and suggest ways to signal quality or screen for problems. Missing facts are treated as hypotheses.
Why use it?
It helps reveal hidden-information risks and shows where proof, signals, or screening may be needed.

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

map-information-asymmetry 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.

Map Information Asymmetry

When to use

Negotiations, deals, hiring, customer relationships — when one party plausibly knows something the other doesn't and signaling/screening mechanics matter.

What this skill does not do

  • Does not value the deal — surfaces asymmetry implications; does not replace financial modeling.
  • Does not invent hidden information — asks user or flags gaps [review].
  • Does not recommend proceed/abandon — states strategic implication; strategist decides.

Preconditions

Input If missing
Situation stated precisely (deal, negotiation, relationship) Ask once to narrow
Parties identified Ask who is on each side
Known private information categories Proceed with [PROVISIONAL] — label asymmetries as hypotheses

Provisional mode

Without diligence data: map hypothesized asymmetries tagged [review]; do not assert informed/uninformed position as fact.

Trust spine

  • Confidence bands (hypothesis-driven-analysis):
    • High: Concrete hidden-info categories per party; costly signal or screen mechanism named; adverse-selection assessed.
    • Medium: Some categories inferred; signal/screen options listed with gaps.
    • Low: Situation vague — refuse to map until scoped.
  • Failure modes:
    • Strategic advice vs. support: Strategic implication is diagnostic, not a deal recommendation.
    • Client confidentiality: Deal terms and hidden info highly sensitive — CONFIDENTIAL header.
    • Accountability gap: Forces admission when user is uninformed party — [review] on exposure.
    • Analytical Rigor: Specific hidden-info categories; costly-signal test applied (cheap signals rejected).
    • Incentive Gaming: N/A — information-structure focus.
  • Escalation triggers: Adverse-selection spiral present with no credible signal/screen — flag blocking risk.

Workflow

  1. State the situation precisely.
  2. List what each party knows that the other plausibly doesn't — specific categories, not vague "knows more."
  3. Determine informed vs. uninformed side — including when user is uninformed.
  4. If informed: name credible costly signal available, or "none currently available."
  5. If uninformed: name screening mechanism, or "none currently applied."
  6. Apply market-for-lemons logic where quality is hard to verify pre-commitment.
  7. State strategic implication — exploiting advantage, giving one away, or exposed.
  8. MECE check: both parties' hidden-info lists complete for stated situation.

map-information-asymmetry is a skill published in the GitHub repository daddia/claude-for-strategy (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 1,265 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
