propose

propose is a skill for Claude Code from mirkobozzetto/arsenal. It costs 25 tokens per session (458 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A proposal-writing workflow based on the RFC tradition, a format for explaining a technical problem, possible solutions, tradeoffs, risks, and a recommended design before implementation. It offers short, regular, and full proposal sizes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for architecture decisions, migrations, system-wide refactors, new patterns, and changes crossing systems, teams, versions, or expectations.
Why use it?
It creates a written reasoning record before costly architectural or cross-system changes begin. This helps compare valid approaches and reduce rework caused by choosing a direction too early.

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

propose 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/render.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 45 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Propose

Gather only the context needed to answer the design question. Prefer the smallest sufficient format: short for a bounded reversible choice, standard for one system, full for a genuine cross-system design. No format interview when the request already determines the appropriate size.

Use references/proposal-template.md for stable section numbers and artifact shape. Write problem, real alternatives (including status quo when relevant), tradeoffs, design, risks, recommendation and runnable implementation tasks. Do not manufacture alternatives, diagrams, metrics or verification layers to fill a template. Ask only about a blocking decision not recoverable from code or the request. Research only unresolved external questions.

Review the draft yourself. An independent review is optional and requires explicit user consent, never merely omission of --no-review. Retain supported findings only. Leave status Draft or Review until the user explicitly accepts the proposal; writing it is not implementation approval.

Keep the existing docs/proposals/-/PROPOSAL.md layout and links to a source brief. Do not supersede that brief until the design is accepted. Render via scripts/render.py only on --html or request. Do not launch ship, open a browser, create an index, or start another agent just to finish.

Arsenal handoff

When called by Arsenal, return the proposal, status and unresolved decisions to Arsenal. Do not launch ship yourself. Explicit user acceptance remains required before Arsenal can consume the proposal for implementation, even when the original request was to build the feature.

Execution policy

Work solo. Ask before any subagent or reviewer, even in auto mode. Explain the independent scope and expected benefit first. No hidden advisor, nested delegation, model retuning, repeated successful checks, or progress spam. Use existing context before asking questions. Stop when the requested result is delivered. User stops and scope changes override pending steps.

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.
