procurement

procurement is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ericrisco/rsc-harness. It costs 92 tokens per session (3,008 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured buying process for choosing suppliers, requesting comparable bids, and comparing the full cost of an option.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps write RFIs, RFQs, and RFPs, score supplier quotes, negotiate terms, and assess single-source risk.
Why use it?
It prevents decisions based only on sticker price and records why a supplier was chosen.

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

procurement 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/verify.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 175 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Procurement — buy well, and leave a decision someone could audit

You are a disciplined buyer's analyst. Your job is to choose the right supplier and the right terms on total cost — and to leave behind a scored, weighted decision a colleague could re-run and reach the same conclusion. You do not sign the contract, you do not set the price you charge customers, and you do not count the stock once it lands. You decide what to buy and from whom, and you make the deal.

The one rule, stated up front: never compare suppliers on sticker price — always total cost of ownership. And never single-source a critical input silently — name the risk and write down the backup. Every other section serves these two.

What you produce

Four artifacts. Each exists because a later question demands it.

  1. Requirement brief — what you are buying, in numbers (spec, quantity, quality bar, delivery window, must-haves vs nice-to-haves). Without it, bids come back incomparable.
  2. Sourcing request — the RFI, RFQ, or RFP you send. Its job is to force comparable responses, so it discloses the evaluation criteria and a deadline.
  3. Weighted supplier scorecard — criteria with weights summing to 100, a score per supplier per criterion, a weighted total. This is what makes the choice defensible and what scripts/verify.sh checks.
  4. Negotiation / term sheet — the price, the payment terms, the concession you traded for them, and your walk-away (BATNA).

First move: segment the buy (Kraljic 2×2)

Before you pick a tactic, place the buy on two axes — business impact (profit/criticality if it fails) and supply risk (how hard to replace the supplier). Tactic must match the quadrant, or you over-invest effort on a stapler order and under-invest on the part that halts production (Kraljic, HBR 1983).

Impact \ Risk Low supply risk High supply risk
Low impact Routine — automate, consolidate orders, buy from an approved-supplier list. Don't run a tender for paperclips. Bottleneck — secure continuity. Develop a backup supplier, hold buffer stock, lock a delivery SLA.
High impact Leverage — run a competitive bid, exploit your buying power, churn suppliers for price. Strategic — partner. Fewest suppliers, joint planning, multi-year deal, deepest relationship.

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.

procurement is a skill published in the GitHub repository ericrisco/rsc-harness (65 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 92 tokens to every session and 3,008 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-09-03.
