socratic-question

socratic-question is a skill for Claude Code from kimsanguine/hplan. It costs 144 tokens per session (4,094 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill that updates an iOS app's release version and commits the change on the appropriate branch. The release version is the number users see for an app release.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare a version bump such as 2.9.10, create or reuse the required feature branch, update Xcode project settings, and commit the result.
Why use it?
It reduces mistakes by checking the requested version, branch, current changes, and existing version before changing project files.

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

socratic-question 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.

Core Goal

AI에게 답을 맡기기 전에, AI가 나에게 더 좋은 질문을 먼저 하게 만든다.

  1. AI를 작성자가 아니라 내 전제를 의심하는 **비평가(devil's advocate)**로 세운다.
  2. 비판적 반문으로 내 생각의 **빈칸(아포리아)**을 스스로 드러내게 한다.
  3. 답을 받을 때는 CoT = 판단 구조로 받아 사람이 검토·최종 판단한다.
  4. 결과물 = "사고 검증 질문 세트" 1장. 한 번 만들면 어떤 결정에든 재사용한다.

핵심 한 줄: 답을 받지 말고, 질문을 설계하라. 좋은 질문은 비싼 실패를 싼 실패로 바꾸는 가장 빠른 길이다.


Trigger Gate

Use This Skill When

  • 어떤 결정/아이디어를 앞두고 "바로 AI에게 시키기" 전에 내 가정을 점검하고 싶을 때
  • 작은 PRD·기획서·경쟁사 분석·리서치를 쓰기 전에 틀린 가정을 걸러내고 싶을 때
  • AI의 답이 너무 그럴듯해서 의심이 안 될 때 (그럴듯함 속 약한 가정을 끄집어내기)

Route to Other Skills When

  • 질문 세트로 가정을 흔든 실제 PRD/태스크를 쓸 때 → discover/opp-tree (기회 발굴) 또는 /newtask · /build (구현 시작)
  • 핵심 가정 4축(Value/Feasibility/Reliability/Ethics) 체계 검증 → discover/assumptions
  • 단위 경제성 시뮬레이션 → discover/cost-sim
  • 전체 하네스 플로우 시작 → /hplan [idea]

Boundary Checks

  • 단순 사실 질문엔 쓰지 않는다. "Python 딕셔너리 정렬법" 같은 정답 하나짜리엔 불필요. 정답이 하나가 아닌 판단에만.
  • "답을 미루는 기술"이 아니라 "답의 품질을 높이는 기술"이다. 질문만 계속하면 일이 안 된다 → 반드시 끝을 정한다.
  • 분야 무관. 제품 기획뿐 아니라 가격·채용·투자·법률/교육 SaaS 등 어떤 판단에도 같은 질문이 작동한다.

진행 규칙 — 대화의 황금률 (모든 단계 공통)

이것이 취조소크라테스 대화를 가른다.

  1. 한 번에 3~4개만 묻는다. 많으면 답을 대충 하게 된다.
  2. "결정을 바꾸는 질문"만 남긴다. 답이 달라져도 내 선택이 안 바뀌면 얕은 질문이다.
  3. 끝을 정한다. 스코프가 한 문장으로 정의되면 질문을 멈추고 작성으로 넘어간다.
    • 멈춤 신호: "누구의 / 무슨 문제를 / 무엇으로 / 무엇은 빼고 푼다" 가 한 문장으로 나온다.
  4. 비평가로 행동한다. 칭찬하는 조수가 아니라 "내가 틀렸을 가능성"을 찾는 비평가. 답이 약한 지점은 한 번 더 파고든다.
  5. 추측을 사실로 통과시키지 않는다. 핵심 주장에 사실 / 추정 라벨을 붙이고, 추정이면 1주 내 검증법을 함께 낸다.

구조 ① 여섯 가지 질문 유형 — AI를 심문관으로 세우는 뼈대

어떤 문제에도 적용되는 질문 분류표. AI가 한 방향이 아니라 여섯 방향에서 심문하게 만든다. (출처: R.W. Paul · L. Elder, 비판적 사고의 소크라테스 질문법 / Socrates의 elenchus)

유형 무엇을 캐묻나 던지는 예
① 명료화 그게 정확히 무슨 뜻인가 이 목표를 한 문장으로 다시 정의하고, 모호한 단어를 짚어줘
② 가정 탐색 나는 무엇을 당연하게 전제했나 내가 검증 없이 가정한 것 3개를 짚어줘
③ 근거·증거 왜 그렇게 보나, 근거는 이 주장의 근거와 반례를 나눠 정리해줘
④ 관점·대안 다르게 보는 입장은 고객·개발자·경쟁사 입장에서 각각 어떻게 볼지 정리해줘
⑤ 함의·결과 그게 맞다면 무엇이 따라오나 이 결정이 맞다면 3개월 뒤 무엇이 좋아지고 무엇이 위험해지나
⑥ 질문에 대한 질문 지금 이게 맞는 질문인가 지금 내가 던진 것보다 더 중요한 질문이 있는지 되물어줘

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.
