chronicle-mcp: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/to-questionnaire/SKILL.md

to-questionnaire is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from loerei/chronicle-mcp. It costs 21 tokens per session (633 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of to-questionnaire, MIT.

A method for creating a questionnaire when another person has information needed to make a decision. The questionnaire is designed for that person to complete alone or in a meeting.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare a Markdown questionnaire for a client, colleague, or subject-matter expert.
Why use it?
It turns an unclear request into focused questions instead of requiring the writer to guess missing facts. It first clarifies who will answer and what information is needed.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for Claude Code and Codex: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter, but also agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is loerei/chronicle-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on chronicle-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything chronicle-mcp configures →

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

to-questionnaire 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 11d 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 — 54 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Turn something the user can't answer alone into a questionnaire — a Markdown document they hand to one person to fill in async, or fill out together over a meeting. The recipient holds knowledge the user lacks; the questionnaire pulls it out of them.

Grill the send, not the subject. Interview the user only about the send, which they can always answer: who it goes to, and what they need back. The questions in the document then target the gap between what the recipient knows and what the user needs.

  1. Who is it going to? Ask, in one exchange, the recipient's role, expertise, and relationship to the user. This fixes the questionnaire's tone and how much context it must carry. Done when you know who the recipient is and what they know that the user doesn't.

  2. What do you need back? Ask, in one exchange, the specific decisions or facts the user can't resolve alone and needs from this person. Done when you have a concrete list of what the user must walk away able to do or decide.

  3. Write the questionnaire. Draft questions aimed at the gap from steps 1–2, following the Document structure below. Write it to to-questionnaire-<slug>.md in the current directory (slug from the topic) and report the path. Done when the file exists and every item the user named in step 2 is covered by a question.

Document structure

Frame the document as a discovery questionnaire: the user lacks context, the recipient holds it. Order questions most-important-first — async means you may only get one pass — and group them under ## headings by theme once there are more than a handful. Write it using the template below.

Purpose: why this questionnaire exists and the decision riding on it.

From:To:How your answers will be used:

Context

One paragraph orienting a recipient who wasn't in the user's head. Enough to answer well, not a page.

Changes

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.
