feasibility-analysis

feasibility-analysis is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from douglance/sdlc-plugin. It costs 22 tokens per session (407 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research workflow for checking unfamiliar technologies, existing solutions, constraints, and trade-offs before choosing an approach.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps compare libraries and tools, study common and harmful approaches, check technical or licensing limits, and decide whether an approach is feasible.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of choosing an option that is incompatible, too costly, insecure, or already solved better elsewhere. Claims are supported by sources.

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

feasibility-analysis 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 3d 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.

What it actually says

Use lifecycle-documentation only when the result needs a durable artifact or handoff.

Scout the problem space and map the landscape. Find what already exists, how others solve this, and what could make it hard or impossible. Explore wide before going deep — survey many options, don't tunnel on the first.

Use the codebase, Context7, and web search together. Every claim you make must trace to a source.

When rules, exceptions, adapters, or compensating processes appear to protect a questionable model, run find-simplifying-insight. Keep the current model as the null hypothesis and require a falsifiable prediction before recommending a paradigm shift.

What to investigate

  • Existing solutions — libraries, tools, and prior art in this codebase and the wider ecosystem.
  • Patterns and anti-patterns — how this problem is solved well, and the ways it's solved badly.
  • Constraints — technical limits, performance bounds, compatibility, security, licensing.
  • Trade-offs — for each viable option, what you gain and what you give up.

Depth

Default to WIDE reconnaissance — breadth over depth. Go DEEP on a specific option only when asked. If you've spent more time than the question warrants, stop and report what you have.

What to produce

A scout report: the landscape, viable options with their trade-offs, the key constraints, open questions, and red flags. Mark your confidence and cite the source for every finding. Say what you couldn't determine rather than guessing.

Changes

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.

feasibility-analysis is a skill published in the GitHub repository douglance/sdlc-plugin (4 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 407 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
