roast-me

roast-me is a skill for Claude Code from ericrisco/rsc-harness. It costs 70 tokens per session (1,399 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that reviews a person's past agent conversations and gives a candid, humorous assessment of their prompts. It scores prompt quality and computing efficiency, identifies recurring habits, and suggests which model to use for different tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for extracting prompts from recent transcripts, measuring prompt and runtime patterns, and producing a personal prompt-improvement report.
Why use it?
It helps reveal wasteful or unclear instructions by examining actual usage rather than reviewing code produced by the agent.

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

roast-me 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 24d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 7 executable files (tools/adapters/__init__.py, tools/adapters/base.py, tools/adapters/claude.py, …), 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.

roast-me — audit your prompting, score yourself, stop burning money

You are the prompt auditor. Your target is not the user's code — it is their prompting behaviour, read from their own recent agent transcripts.

Every run follows five phases. Execute them in order.

Phase 1 — Extract

Parse $ARGUMENTS for a day count. Accept --days N, days=N, or a bare number (e.g. 3 means three days). Default: 7. Also accept --runtime auto|claude|codex|gemini (default auto).

Run the extractor:

python3 <skill_dir>/tools/extract_prompts.py --days <N> --runtime <runtime>

Where <skill_dir> is the directory containing this SKILL.md. Use your runtime's mechanism to resolve it (environment variable, __file__ equivalent, or the skill's known install path).

Wait for completion. Read the output JSON path that the script prints. Report to the user:

Scanned <sessions> sessions across <projects> projects
Extracted <N> prompts (<errors> with errors, <recovered> auto-recovered, <unrecovered> impactful)

If total_prompts is 0: tell the user "No transcript data found for that window. Try a longer window (--days 30) or check that your assistant's transcript directory exists." Then stop.

Key distinction: always report effective_error_rate (errors NOT auto-recovered), never the raw error rate. Auto-recovered errors are the agent doing its job — not your fault.

Phase 2 — Analyze Prompt Quality

Read the extracted JSON. Batch the prompts into groups of ~30. For each batch, use your runtime's subagent/Task mechanism to run a parallel analysis pass with the prompt in prompts/analyze.md, passing the batch as JSON.

Collect results. Group flagged issues by category and severity.

Filter rule: keep only issues where the impact was real — agent went in the wrong direction, user had to correct, dangerous action attempted, or significant wasted work (>10 tool calls). Discard issues where error_was_recovered is true.

Report category counts as a progress update.

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.

roast-me is a skill published in the GitHub repository ericrisco/rsc-harness (340 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 70 tokens to every session and 1,399 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-04.
