principle-outcome-oriented-execution

principle-outcome-oriented-execution is a skill for Claude Code from michael-denyer/pstack-claude. It costs 39 tokens per session (192 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A way to manage planned rewrites and migrations by aiming directly at the intended final design. A migration moves an existing system or codebase to a new structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan phased rewrites or migrations, define where temporary breakage is acceptable, keep focused checks during the work, and run full verification before completion.
Why use it?
It discourages temporary compatibility code from becoming permanent and requires correctness checks at the end of each major phase.

About the project

pstack-claude is a set of opinionated coding-agent skills and workflows ported from Cursor to Claude Code, Codex, Pi, and other agent harnesses. It guides agents toward concise, simple, and verified code by routing goals to suitable workflows and supporting subagent tools. The catalogue entries are the project's skills, agents, hook, and plugin implementations for these agent environments.

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

principle-outcome-oriented-execution 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 27d 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.

What it actually says

Outcome-Oriented Execution

Optimize for the intended, verifiable end state rather than preserving smooth intermediate states.

Why: Keeping every intermediate step fully stable often creates temporary compatibility code that becomes long-lived debt. Converge on the target architecture and prove correctness at explicit verification boundaries.

Core rule:

  • Prioritize end-state integrity over transitional stability
  • Intermediate breakage is acceptable when it is planned, scoped, and reversible

Guardrails:

  • Use this for planned rewrites and migrations with explicit phase boundaries
  • Declare where temporary breakage is acceptable
  • Keep high-signal checks for actively touched areas while migrating
  • Require full static and runtime verification at plan completion
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.
