prioritize

prioritize is a skill for Claude Code from kazdenc/builder-skills. It costs 68 tokens per session (1,282 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A framework for deciding which features or projects should be handled first. It ranks ideas using methods such as RICE, opportunity scoring, impact-versus-effort, or ICE.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to rank features, compare initiatives, create a priority matrix, or decide what to build first from a list of ideas.
Why use it?
It makes prioritization more explicit when a team has more possible work than time. The framework connects choices to available evidence, such as usage, expected reach, customer needs, or engineering effort.

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

prioritize 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 134 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Score and rank features or initiatives so teams build the highest-value things first.

Step 1: Gather the List

Collect the items to prioritize. If the user hasn't provided them, ask. Each item needs a clear, concise name and a one-sentence description of what it delivers.

Don't prioritize fewer than 3 items (just pick the best one) or more than 25 (split into themes first, then prioritize within each).

Step 2: Choose a Framework

Pick one based on what the team actually has available:

If you have... Use Why
Usage data, reach estimates, engineering sizing RICE Rigorous, accounts for confidence in your estimates
JTBD need statements with importance/satisfaction data Opportunity scoring Finds underserved needs directly
A large list and need a quick first pass Impact/Effort matrix Fast triage, no math required
Limited data but reasonable intuition ICE Lighter-weight RICE, moves fast

If unsure, default to Impact/Effort matrix for triage, then apply RICE to the top-right quadrant.

Step 3: Score Each Item

RICE

Score each item on four dimensions, then calculate:

RICE Score = (Reach x Impact x Confidence) / Effort
Dimension What it measures Scale
Reach How many users/accounts affected per quarter Actual number (e.g., 500 users/quarter)
Impact How much this moves the needle per user 3 = massive, 2 = high, 1 = medium, 0.5 = low, 0.25 = minimal
Confidence How sure you are about the above estimates 100% = high, 80% = medium, 50% = low. Below 50% means you need research, not prioritization
Effort Person-months of work Actual estimate (e.g., 2 person-months)

Opportunity Scoring

For each need identified through JTBD work:

Opportunity Score = Importance + max(Importance - Satisfaction, 0)
Dimension Scale
Importance 1-10: How important is this need to the job performer?
Satisfaction 1-10: How well do current solutions satisfy this need?

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.

prioritize is a skill published in the GitHub repository kazdenc/builder-skills (45 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 1,282 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
