diamond-assess

diamond-assess is a skill for Claude Code from haabe/mycelium. It costs 26 tokens per session (3,955 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A workflow check for a “diamond,” a project-planning model whose stages and decisions are tracked in shared files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess project opportunities and recommend the next planning action, based on documented evidence.
Why use it?
It helps identify which planning gates are complete, how confident the team should be, and what to do next.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 B, and why

diamond-assess scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 5d 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.

Diamond Assess Skill

Evaluate current diamond state and recommend next action.

Preflight: Read-before-Recommend (gate-narration discipline)

Hard rule (per CLAUDE.md Communication Rules, anti-pattern #7 graduation v0.39.16). Every gate-status narration, blocker statement, hold claim, or "what's missing" verdict this skill emits MUST cite the canvas file + field path of the source evidence (e.g., per purpose.yml#why, per opportunities.yml#opp-005#status, per landscape.yml:1520). Adjacent-surface inference (different opportunity, different ht, different topic) MUST be tagged as inference, not asserted as gate state. This skill ran an un-mechanized version of its own diagnosis in cluster-instances.md instance #17 (2026-06-02) — confabulated an "L0 unclear" blocker from comms-friction evidence while the L0 purpose was clear and canvas-documented; collapsed only after the founder articulated the underlying model and grep verified the canvas already had it. The preamble exists so this skill stops being the recursive case.

Workflow

  1. Cognitive Forcing (ALWAYS FIRST — before any analysis):

    Before presenting any assessment, ask the human for their unprimed judgment:

    "Before I run the gates — where do you think this diamond stands right now? What feels solid and what feels shaky?"

    Wait for the human's response. Record it. Then proceed with the full assessment below. After presenting the assessment (step 10), compare:

    "You said [X]. The gates say [Y]. Where do we differ?"

    This prevents the agent's analysis from anchoring the human's judgment. The human's pre-assessment often catches things the gates miss (Hoskins consistently outperformed the agent on product judgment calls).

    Source: Buçinca, Malaya & Gajos (Cognitive Forcing Functions, Harvard CHI/CSCW 2021) — forcing initial human judgment before AI output significantly reduces automation bias and over-reliance on incorrect AI recommendations.

    Autonomous mode (per ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/engine/autonomous-mode.md): in a declared autonomous run, substitute at rung (b) — record the declared persona's unprimed judgment BEFORE reading any canvas or gate state (the ordering is the load-bearing part, not the human authorship), tag it source_class: internal_simulated, and ledger the substitution. The post-assessment comparison still runs: persona judgment vs gate verdict.

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.

diamond-assess is a skill published in the GitHub repository haabe/mycelium (45 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 3,955 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
