tech-sensemaking

tech-sensemaking is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gnurio/nurijanian-skills. It costs 146 tokens per session (1,695 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for analyzing announcements about new technology, products, or features and drawing out strategic implications for a chosen business, product, codebase, or project. It first summarizes the announcement and then examines it from four strategic angles.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze a pasted announcement, description, or web page against a business, product, codebase, feature branch, personal project, or career decision.
Why use it?
It helps turn a technology announcement into practical questions about its relevance, constraints, omissions, and possible effects on your specific context.

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

tech-sensemaking 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 12d 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.

Tech Sensemaking

Analyze a technology announcement through 4 strategic questions using Verbalized Sampling to produce diverse, non-obvious insights grounded in the user's specific context — whether that's a business, a product, a feature branch, a codebase, a personal project, or anything else.

Required Input

  • Announcement: pasted text, URL, or description of the technology change.
  • Context subject: what to analyze the announcement against (asked in Phase 2 if not obvious).

Workflow

Phase 1 — Intake

  1. Accept the announcement. If a URL, scrape it (Firecrawl, WebFetch, or browser tools).
  2. Write a neutral announcement summary (200-400 words):
    • What was announced (capabilities, features, changes)
    • What constraints or limitations were mentioned
    • Availability and timeline
    • What was NOT said (notable omissions)
  3. Present the summary to the user. Ask: "Does this capture the announcement accurately, or should I adjust anything before analysis?"

Phase 2 — Context Loading

Determine the context type and load accordingly. If the user hasn't specified what to analyze the announcement against, ask:

"What should I analyze this announcement against? For example:

  • A business (prodmgmt.world, your startup, etc.)
  • A product or feature (your SaaS, an open-source project, etc.)
  • A codebase or feature branch (a repo you're building)
  • A personal goal or project
  • Something else?"
Context sources by type
Context type Where to look What to extract
Business Vault notes (qmd search), Context/ files if they exist, user description What it does, revenue model, competitive position, goals, constraints, team size
Product README, product docs, vault notes, user description What it does, target users, current capabilities, roadmap, tech stack
Codebase / feature branch Source code, README, CLAUDE.md, recent commits/PRs Architecture, dependencies, current problems, what's being built
Personal project Vault notes, user description Goals, constraints, timeline, what's been tried
Role / career Vault notes, user description Current role, skills, goals, industry, constraints
Generic / exploratory User description, web research Domain, key players, known constraints, relevant trends

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.
