apply-digital-divide-diagnostic

apply-digital-divide-diagnostic is a skill for Claude Code from jeffreytse/grimoire-core. It costs 75 tokens per session (1,551 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A framework for finding why people are not adopting a digital product or service. It checks motivation, access to devices or connections, digital skills, and problems using the service.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to diagnose low participation in apps, online services, digital programmes, or technology initiatives.
Why use it?
It prevents teams from solving the wrong problem, such as supplying devices when people actually need training, motivation, or a simpler service.

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

apply-digital-divide-diagnostic 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.

Apply Digital Divide Diagnostic

Diagnose which of four independent access barriers — motivational, physical/material, skills, or usage — is actually blocking a target population's adoption of a digital product or program, and match the intervention to that specific barrier, rather than defaulting to a generic "more devices" or "more marketing" response.

Why This Is Best Practice

Why best: Low adoption in an underserved population is often treated as a single undifferentiated problem ("they don't have access"), but van Dijk's model separates it into four distinct, independently diagnosable barriers, each requiring a different fix. Treating all four as the same problem means an intervention aimed at the wrong barrier (e.g., subsidized devices for a population that already has devices but lacks the skills or motivation to use them) produces no adoption gain despite real investment.

Adopted by: The ITU's "Measuring Digital Development" reporting and Pew Research Center's ongoing digital-divide survey series are both structured around this same multi-stage distinction, and both have repeatedly found that the binding constraint varies by population and shifts over time — in many developed-market contexts, physical/material access (device and connectivity availability) is no longer the dominant barrier; skills and motivational access frequently are. This empirical variability is exactly what makes the diagnostic necessary rather than assuming one universal barrier.

Impact: Programs that diagnosed the actual binding barrier before designing an intervention — for example, discovering that a population already has device access but lacks confidence or relevant use cases (motivational/skills barriers), not connectivity — have redirected investment from further device subsidy toward digital-literacy training or locally relevant content, which more directly addresses the actual constraint. Programs that skip this diagnosis and default to device or connectivity investment in a population where that isn't the binding barrier see limited adoption gains despite the spending.
