annual-review

annual-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from msolecki/founder-os. It costs 29 tokens per session (1,443 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An annual review of the decisions recorded during the previous twelve months. It judges the reasoning behind choices, rather than judging choices only by their results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it once a year to review decision records, check their stated measures and warning signs, and inform the next year's planning.
Why use it?
Good or bad outcomes can depend on luck and market conditions, so reviewing the original reasoning helps separate decision quality from hindsight.

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

annual-review 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 10d 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 — 128 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Annual Review

Everyone reviews the year's results. The results are mostly luck, market, and one client who happened to renew. What compounds is the quality of the judgments, and the only place those are recorded before the outcome was known is decisions/.

This is the one review that scores the reasoning. It is the reason house rule 3 exists at all — twelve months of logged decisions with falsifiers is an asset nobody else in a company of one has, and this skill is what cashes it.

When to use

Once a year, in the same week as Q4 quarterly-planning — and before it, so the year's rules are available when next year's bets are chosen.

Inputs

Read first — house rule 1:

  • decisions/ — every entry from the last twelve months. This is the review. Everything else is context.
  • metrics.md — the numbers that settle whether each falsifier fired
  • reviews/monthly/ — used for exactly one thing, in step 4: checking whether the empty months were actually empty

Do not read the year's reviews/weekly/. They record what happened, which is what this skill is deliberately not scoring.

Beliefs

  • Hindsight is not extra information about a decision, it is different information, and it is inadmissible here. The only fair judge of a call is what was knowable on the day it was made, which is why this review reads decisions/ and not the year's results.
  • Nobody can remember what they believed before they knew the answer. This is not a failing of this founder; it is a property of people, and it is the entire reason the log exists. Memory is not an input to this review, however vivid.
  • Success teaches the wrong lesson more reliably than failure does. A bad call that paid gets repeated, gets called instinct, and is invisible to every review that scores outcomes — including every review the founder has ever run on themselves.
  • Most of what the founder is proudest of this year was variance, and so was most of what they are ashamed of. This review exists to find the thin residue that was actually judgment, and it will be a smaller pile than either of the other two.

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.
