elicitation

elicitation is a skill for Claude Code from fusengine/agents. It costs 34 tokens per session (1,499 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A self-review step for an expert coding agent after implementation and before final validation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review completed code manually, automatically, or not at all, and save the review result for comparison with later passes.
Why use it?
It provides a structured pause to find gaps, correct mistakes, or record remaining issues before another check runs.

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

elicitation 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 1mo 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 — 170 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

It sits between Execute and eXamine in the APEX flow, scores itself against an exit threshold (>=90% proceed, 70-89% document gaps, <70% iterate), and persists its findings to .claude/apex/docs/elicit-{task-slug}.json so a later pass can diff against prior verdicts instead of restarting.

Elicitation Skill

Purpose

Enable expert agents to self-review and self-correct their code before external validation (sniper). Based on BMAD-METHOD's 75 elicitation techniques.


3 Execution Modes

Mode 1: MANUAL (default)

Expert presents 5 relevant techniques → User chooses → Expert applies

Mode 2: AUTO (--auto)

Expert auto-detects code type → Auto-selects techniques → Applies silently

Mode 3: SKIP (--skip)

Skip elicitation → Go directly to sniper validation

Quick Start

After Execute phase, expert runs:

# Manual mode (default)
> Apply elicitation skill

# Auto mode (no prompts)
> Apply elicitation skill --auto

# Skip self-review
> Apply elicitation skill --skip

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.
