create-ol-rfc-discussion

create-ol-rfc-discussion is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mitodl/agent-kit. It costs 57 tokens per session (2,745 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

An RFC discussion is a short proposal that asks a team to agree on a problem, a broad solution, and its consequences. This add-on guides the proposal and posts it as a GitHub Discussion in the RFC category of mitodl/hq.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write and post architectural proposals, design decisions, and other high-level changes for team review.
Why use it?
It keeps team decisions focused without mixing them with detailed implementation plans. It gives reviewers the context needed to approve, question, or reject a direction.

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

create-ol-rfc-discussion 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/post-rfc-discussion.sh), 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 — 312 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create an RFC Discussion (/olrfc)

When the user runs /olrfc, or asks to post/create an RFC, guide them through writing a short, high-altitude RFC and posting it to mitodl/hq as a GitHub Discussion in the RFC category.

What an RFC is for

An RFC exists to get a team of busy people to agree on what problem we're solving, roughly how we intend to solve it, and what that commits us to. It is a decision document, not a design document.

The implementation detail follows later, as a spec opened against the target repositories. Anything a reader does not need in order to say "yes, go do that" belongs in the spec — not here.

Belongs in the RFC Belongs in the spec
The problem and why now Schemas, interfaces, function signatures
The 2–3 real options and why they lose/win File and module layout
The chosen direction, in shape not steps Ordered task breakdown, estimates
What the decision commits us to, and what it costs Test plans, migration scripts
Questions that could change the decision Config keys, flag names, env vars
Links to prior art / related RFCs Error handling, edge cases

If you catch yourself writing code blocks, type definitions, or a numbered build plan, you have crossed into spec territory. Cut it.


Length budget — this is a hard requirement

Target: 800–1,500 words. Ceiling: 2,000. That is a 5–10 minute read. RFCs that run 20–30 minutes do not get read, and unread RFCs do not produce decisions.

Rough per-section budget:

Section Budget
Problem 150–300 words
Options Considered 300–500 words total across all options
Decision 150–250 words
Approach 150–300 words
Consequences 100–200 words
Open Questions 75–150 words

Before posting, check it:

wc -w /tmp/rfc-body.md

If it is over 2,000, cut — do not rationalise. The usual offenders, in order: step-by-step implementation plans, exhaustive option enumeration, restating the problem inside the Decision section, and worked examples.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
