discuss-phase

discuss-phase is a skill for Claude Code from easyinplay/harnessed. It costs 144 tokens per session (954 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A two-step workflow for clarifying a software project phase when important implementation choices or connections between phases are unclear, then saving the findings to files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to discuss a phase with multiple open decisions, cross-phase data flow, or work expected to take more than a day.
Why use it?
It helps resolve uncertainty before coding begins and preserves the decisions for later work.

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

discuss-phase 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 25d 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.

Overview

2-phase sub-workflow mapping CLAUDE.md "Stage ①.b Phase 层 — GSD /gsd-discuss-phase 灰色澄清" onto harnessed runtime (Phase v3.0-3.4 W0.2 — D-04 Stage ① Discuss 三层 + Pattern A sub-workflow ship)。

Capability refs

Sister workflows/capabilities.yaml entries:

  • gsd-discuss-phase — Bucket 2 (impl: gsd, cmd: /gsd-discuss-phase)
  • planning-with-files — Bucket 4 (impl: claude-code-plugin, cmd: /plan)

Gate refs

Sister workflows/judgments/phase-gate.yaml:

  • gsd-discuss-phase.fires — phase.open_decisions >= 2 or phase.has_cross_phase_data_flow == true or phase.scope_days > 1

Invocation

  • Slash command: /discuss-phase <num> (after harnessed setup)

How to invoke

Clarification needs real user dialogue, so run this stage directly in THIS session — do NOT spawn it, and do NOT improvise: follow these steps so the locked spec is persisted for the execution stages.

  1. Evaluate the clarification criteria for "$ARGUMENTS":
    • Strategic — new feature / milestone / unclear business scope → gstack /office-hours + /plan-ceo-review
    • Phase — ≥2 open implementation decisions / unclear cross-phase API contract → GSD /gsd-discuss-phase
    • Subtask — ≥2 distinct approaches / core algorithm / API contract design / high error cost → superpowers brainstorming
  2. For each layer that fires, hold the dialogue with the user (use {{ host.ask_user }} for option-style decisions) and lock every open decision.
  3. Transparent-skip layers that don't fire — state which were skipped and why.
  4. Persist the locked decisions to .planning/ via planning-with-files (findings.md / task_plan.md).

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
