Narraitor: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/narraitor-feature-experiment-lifecycle/SKILL.md

narraitor-feature-experiment-lifecycle is a skill for Claude Code from jerseycheese/Narraitor. It costs 99 tokens per session (1,244 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for taking a product idea from an initial hunch to a decision to ship, hold, or retire it. It covers ordinary features as well as changes to AI behavior.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to capture an idea, define acceptance criteria, search related issues, run an experiment, and record the outcome. It wraps around implementation work rather than replacing a bug-fix or issue-delivery process.
Why use it?
It prevents ideas from turning into unscoped work and leaves a record of what was tried and decided. It also helps check whether an older issue or experiment already answered the question.

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

narraitor-feature-experiment-lifecycle 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.

Feature & experiment lifecycle

1. Purpose

Give every idea one path from hunch to decision, so work is scoped before it starts and every ending (ship, hold, retire) leaves a record.

2. When to use

New feature/improvement work; prompt or AI-behavior experiments; resurrecting old ideas; deciding the fate of half-done work.

3. When not to use

  • Pure bug fixes with a reproducer → change-control's fix loop directly.
  • Already-scoped issue implementation → the owner's issue pipeline (analyze-issue → tdd-implement → post-merge; owner-personal skills — may be absent for other contributors, in which case: analyze the issue, TDD the fix, open the PR per change-control). This skill wraps AROUND that pipeline, not instead of it.

4. Inputs required

The idea in one sentence; which class it is (UI, mechanics, AI-behavior, infra).

5. Procedure

P0 CAPTURE — file an issue with the matching template (.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/: bug_report,
   enhancement, epic, feature_request, user-story). Existing labels only. Check the epic map
   first — most ideas belong under an existing epic, and closed history may have already
   tried it (search closed issues before proposing).
P1 SCOPE — acceptance criteria written UP FRONT, evaluator-checkable ("player can X and it
   persists across reload"), plus explicit non-goals. v1.0-phase rule: polish and reliability
   only — net-new features default to post-MVP labels.
P2 PREDICT — state expected behavior BEFORE coding: what changes, what must not change,
   which stores/routes/templates it touches (blast radius from architecture-contract).
P3 FLAG AI EXPERIMENTS — any change to prompts/templates/generation config is an EXPERIMENT:
   declare the eval matrix per narraitor-ai-quality-discipline section 5 (the single home of
   the matrix minimums — name your worlds/characters) BEFORE writing code.
   Prompt work additionally follows prompt-template-governance gates.
P4 BUILD — smallest diff that can prove the criteria. TDD where a wrong behavior is pinnable.
P5 LOCAL PROOF — run it in the dev server (real flow, not only /dev/* harness or Storybook).
P6 PARITY — storybook-app-parity ladder to >= S2; cross-DS + dark mode for anything visual.
P7 GATE — quality gate green; class-specific gates per change-control; AI experiments: the
   full ai-quality-discipline matrix recorded.
P8 FRESH-STATE CHECK — brand-new world + character walk the feature end to end (catches
   assumptions your seasoned test data hides), plus a hard-refresh persistence check.
P9 DECIDE — write the ship/hold memo (templates/ship-hold-memo.md). Ship -> PR to develop
   per change-control. Hold -> memo names the failing gate and re-entry condition.
   Retire -> close the issue with the memo so the battle isn't re-fought (this feeds
   failure-archaeology).

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.
