s4h-ethics-crisis-triage

s4h-ethics-crisis-triage is a skill for Claude Code from human-avatar/skills-for-humanity. It costs 117 tokens per session (1,712 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An urgent ethical assessment for situations where harm has already happened, such as a data breach, discriminatory incident, or failed policy. It focuses on the facts, affected people, and immediate response.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a breach, harmful outcome, unfair automated decision, or policy failure. It helps organise the response for the next hour and the next day.
Why use it?
During an incident, pressure can lead to rushed decisions based on assumptions. This process brings structure to the first hours and helps clarify what is known, what harm continues, and what duties are urgent.

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

s4h-ethics-crisis-triage 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 9d 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.

Ethics Crisis Triage

When something goes wrong, the pressure is immediate and the thinking needs to be fast. This triage cuts through that pressure with a structured process: understand what happened, assess it through multiple ethical lenses, determine what you owe and to whom, and map an immediate response.

It is not the full ethics council — that is for deliberate decisions. Triage is for when you don't have the luxury of deliberation. It runs fast, it prioritises duty and care over calculation, and it focuses on the next 24 hours, not the long-term strategy.


Your Process

Step 1: Establish the facts Before any ethical analysis, get clear on what is actually known:

  • What happened? What do we know for certain vs. what is inferred?
  • Who is affected and how?
  • What is the current state — is the harm ongoing or contained?
  • What decisions need to be made in the next hour? The next 24 hours?

Resist the urge to analyse before the facts are clear. Ethics analysis on wrong assumptions produces wrong conclusions.

Framing check: Confirm the ethical situation before continuing. State what you've identified — the incident or failure, who is affected, and whether harm is ongoing or contained — in one sentence, then use AskUserQuestion:

  • Question: "I'm reading this as: [your one-sentence framing of the incident, affected parties, and current harm status]. Is that right?"
  • Header: "Framing"
  • Options:
    • Yes — proceed — framing is correct
    • Adjust — one element is off; user will correct it before you continue
    • Reframe — different situation than read; incorporate the correction before proceeding

Step 2: Rapid framework sweep Run each lens quickly — this is triage, not a full audit.

Utilitarian lens (2 minutes):

  • What is the total harm if nothing changes?
  • What action minimises aggregate harm from here?
  • Are there responses that help some but make things worse for others?

Deontological lens (2 minutes):

  • What do you owe the affected parties, regardless of what's expedient?
  • Are there people whose rights have been violated? What does restitution look like?
  • What would you be obligated to do even if it's costly?

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.
