mission-slice-sop

mission-slice-sop is a skill for Claude Code from mvschwarz/openrig. It costs 30 tokens per session (2,298 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A lightweight process for managing a unit of development work called a mission or slice, from starting through handoff and closure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to ground a task, build and test the result, record what was proved, hand work to someone else, restore interrupted work, and close the task.
Why use it?
It keeps the work, evidence, and handoff notes in agreed project files so progress can survive interruptions or a change of developer.

About the project

OpenRig is a software harness that coordinates Claude Code and Codex coding agents as one system, with agent teams defined in YAML and launched together. It is for organizing persistent teams of coding agents that can delegate work to specialists and return results or decisions. The catalogue lists 53 skills and one plugin as add-ons for OpenRig.

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

mission-slice-sop 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.

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

Mission/Slice SOP — Part A

Use this skill to actually do mission/slice work: track on the canonical files, record what you proved, hand off through them, and survive compaction on them. Do the work described here; do not merely explain the protocol.

Full convention SSOT: repo docs/reference/sdlc-conventions.md; installed $OPENRIG_HOME/reference/sdlc-conventions.md. This skill is the concise Part-A teaching surface and does not replace the full convention.

Resolve the work first

Run rig whoami --json, then resolve project.yaml -> mission.yaml -> active slice.yaml -> selected component or wave map -> addressed context. The complete lookup and precedence rule is docs/reference/product-journey-sdlc.md#resolve-the-selected-path (installed: $OPENRIG_HOME/reference/product-journey-sdlc.md#resolve-the-selected-path). Read the selected addresses and source needed for this task; skills available in your profile are capabilities, not a mandatory reading list. No composition means light Part A. Role names and idle seats add no gates. Explicit rigor and authored wave boundaries retain their named checks.

The light inner loop is ground yourself → build → test with your own eyes → iterate → record and return the whole outcome. The builder may hold this check on a tiny change. Independent review runs only when selected, and once at an authored wave boundary rather than once per slice.

Part B is defined in the conventions SSOT and runs only when explicitly assigned to named work. If you believe it is needed, state the reason to the owner and continue on the selected path until that choice changes.

Proportionality — this SOP serves shipping; it is not the work itself

The working product is the deliverable. This bookkeeping exists so the work survives handoff, compaction, and review — nothing more. Match it to stakes. The rig scope audit backstop is advisory and fail-open: it never blocks a build and is not a gate you clear before proceeding. If you're spending more time on the convention files or the audit than on the running product, stop and go build. Running the full apparatus on a small change is the letter-worship failure, not diligence.
