gsd-list-phase-assumptions

gsd-list-phase-assumptions is a skill for Codex from lalitnayyar/finally. It costs 19 tokens per session (765 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of gsd-list-phase-assumptions, MIT.

A planning aid that lists the assumptions an agent is making about how to carry out a project phase. A phase is a defined chunk of project work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review choices about a phase's scope, method, and expected work before creating an implementation plan.
Why use it?
It makes hidden guesses visible before detailed planning begins, so you can correct a mistaken approach early.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: installed under .codex/. Also seen: names the AskUserQuestion tool; mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex.

Good fit Use it to review choices about a phase's scope, method, and expected work before creating an implementation plan.

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

gsd-list-phase-assumptions 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 13d 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 — 83 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

<codex_skill_adapter>

A. Skill Invocation

  • This skill is invoked by mentioning $gsd-list-phase-assumptions.
  • Treat all user text after $gsd-list-phase-assumptions as {{GSD_ARGS}}.
  • If no arguments are present, treat {{GSD_ARGS}} as empty.

B. AskUserQuestion → request_user_input Mapping

GSD workflows use AskUserQuestion (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex request_user_input:

Parameter mapping:

  • header → header
  • question → question
  • Options formatted as "Label" — description → {label: "Label", description: "description"}
  • Generate id from header: lowercase, replace spaces with underscores

Batched calls:

  • AskUserQuestion([q1, q2]) → single request_user_input with multiple entries in questions[]

Multi-select workaround:

  • Codex has no multiSelect. Use sequential single-selects, or present a numbered freeform list asking the user to enter comma-separated numbers.

Execute mode fallback:

  • When request_user_input is rejected (Execute mode), present a plain-text numbered list and pick a reasonable default.

C. Task() → spawn_agent Mapping

GSD workflows use Task(...) (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex collaboration tools:

Direct mapping:

  • Task(subagent_type="X", prompt="Y") → spawn_agent(agent_type="X", message="Y")
  • Task(model="...") → omit (Codex uses per-role config, not inline model selection)
  • fork_context: false by default — GSD agents load their own context via <files_to_read> blocks

Parallel fan-out:

  • Spawn multiple agents → collect agent IDs → wait(ids) for all to complete

Result parsing:

  • Look for structured markers in agent output: CHECKPOINT, PLAN COMPLETE, SUMMARY, etc.
  • close_agent(id) after collecting results from each agent </codex_skill_adapter>

Purpose: Help users see what the agent thinks BEFORE planning begins - enabling course correction early when assumptions are wrong. Output: Conversational output only (no file creation) - ends with "What do you think?" prompt

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.
