proposal

proposal is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from katopz/katgpt-rs. It costs 114 tokens per session (4,995 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for writing architectural proposals: reasoned documents about whether a significant design or system-structure change should be made.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when deciding whether to introduce a new design, primitive, feature flag, or change across repositories, especially where system boundaries or long-term structure are involved.
Why use it?
It gives design decisions a written argument based on the existing codebase, related proposals, and published research instead of jumping straight to implementation tasks.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions AGENTS.md.

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /Users/katopz/git.

Getting it into your agent

There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

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

proposal 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 2d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 400 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Proposal — Reasoned architectural argument with codebase grounding + prior art

A proposal is the layer between research (paper distillation) and plan (task execution). It argues for an architectural change, a new primitive, or a design decision — grounded in (a) what the codebase already ships, (b) what sibling repos have already proposed, and (c) what the literature says. It is not a paper summary, not a task list, and not an audit.

The deliverable is a .proposals/NNN_*.md file in the repo that owns the affected surface, written in the established proposal format (see §Output format). It MUST ship with honest caveats and a fusion lineage — these are non-negotiable per the canonical proposals in katgpt-rs/.proposals/.

When to use

  • The user asks "should we do X?" / "what if we Y?" / "propose a design for Z".
  • A design question spans multiple primitives, repos, or feature flags and needs a reasoned argument before any plan is opened.
  • A new feature wants GOAT-gate discipline but the design is still open — the proposal settles the design, the plan executes it.
  • A cross-repo change touches the sync boundary, freeze/thaw, or raw↔latent bridge and needs the boundary rule reasoned through explicitly.

DO NOT use for

  • Paper distillation → use the research skill. Proposal may cite a paper as prior art but does not distill it.
  • Task execution → write a .plans/NNN_*.md. Proposals sketch a phased rollout; plans own the - [ ] task list.
  • POC / refactor / optimization tracking → file .issues/NNN_*.md per the global rule ("Create issue at .issues for poc, proof, optimization or refactor task, do not create plan").
  • Cross-repo GOAT cherry-pick audit → use the goat-audit skill.
  • Bug fixes with no architectural angle.

Repos in scope (the product/distillation set — 8)

Same layout as the research and goat-audit skills. Canonical home for this list: katgpt-rs/AGENTS.md §"Repo count" (and Research 003) — it is copied here for reading convenience, so when the two disagree, AGENTS.md wins. This copy said "7-repo stack" and omitted riir-dapps from 2026-08-20 until 2026-09-01, which is what a duplicated count does:

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.

proposal is a skill published in the GitHub repository katopz/katgpt-rs (98 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 114 tokens to every session and 4,995 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
