pilot-designer

pilot-designer is a skill for Codex from dlxeva/fde-operator-os. It costs 35 tokens per session (661 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A framework for designing a small, bounded AI pilot around a specific work problem. It defines where AI helps, where a person must confirm the result, and how success and failure will be judged.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define an AI intervention, manual baseline, representative and difficult cases, graders, acceptance thresholds, human approval points, and the handoff to production-readiness review.
Why use it?
It prevents pilots from becoming vague demonstrations by setting acceptance tests, evaluation cases, governance limits, fallbacks, rollback conditions, and production requirements. It also distinguishes observed work from synthetic examples.

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

pilot-designer 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 8d 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 — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pilot Designer

Use this skill when the main question is:

  • what is the smallest credible pilot
  • where should AI intervene
  • what remains human-owned
  • how will the pilot be judged
  • what evidence is required before production-readiness review

Scope

Stay focused on bounded pilot design and the G2 Pilot Contract gate.

Primary outputs:

  • AI Intervention Design
  • Minimum Viable Loop
  • POC Acceptance Contract
  • Eval Pack
  • Governance And Risk Overlay when the AI influences operational action

What To Define

  • target bottleneck
  • narrow AI surface
  • human confirmation boundary
  • baseline manual path
  • representative tasks and failure classes
  • explicit graders and acceptance thresholds
  • fallback and rollback conditions
  • audit and authority boundary
  • operator adoption signal
  • production-readiness dependencies

Evidence Requirement

Build pilot cases from observed work where available:

  • golden cases
  • failure cases
  • edge cases
  • ambiguous cases
  • demo-killing cases

Keep synthetic cases labeled. Carry missing production evidence into the Reality Capture Gate or Production Readiness Review as a blocker.

Production Handoff

The pilot is ready to hand to deployment-readiness when:

  • the bounded loop and baseline are stable
  • the POC Acceptance Contract is locked
  • representative eval cases and regression checks exist
  • authority, audit, fallback, and rollback are defined
  • the intended operator cohort and adoption signal are known
  • remaining launch dependencies are explicit

This handoff does not imply launch approval. deployment-readiness owns the G3 go, conditional-go, or no-go decision.

Do Not Expand Into

  • broad account strategy
  • full platform architecture before the loop is proven
  • organization-wide rollout
  • live launch approval
  • detailed day-2 operations beyond the pilot boundary and handoff requirements

Completion Standard

A reviewer can explain the bounded pilot, AI and human responsibilities, baseline, representative evals, acceptance and failure criteria, fallback and rollback paths, and the evidence still needed before live use.

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.

pilot-designer is a skill published in the GitHub repository dlxeva/fde-operator-os (11 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 661 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 2026-08-30.
