rice

rice is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from neurofoo/agent-skills. It costs 34 tokens per session (644 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A prioritization method that scores initiatives by Reach, Impact, Confidence, and Effort. RICE is a way to compare competing work using shared estimates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to score, rank, and explain product features, projects, or other initiatives.
Why use it?
It makes roadmap and feature decisions easier to compare by showing the assumptions behind each ranking.

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

rice 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.

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.

RICE Prioritization Scoring

Score and rank initiatives using Reach, Impact, Confidence, and Effort to make prioritization decisions more objective.

Instructions

For each initiative, estimate the four RICE factors, calculate the score, and rank them. Be explicit about assumptions behind each estimate.

Output Format

Context What are we prioritizing? What's the time horizon for Reach?

Factor Definitions

  • Reach: [Define for this context, e.g., "users affected per quarter"]
  • Impact: [Define for this context, e.g., "effect on conversion rate"]
  • Effort: [Define unit, e.g., "engineer-weeks"]

Scoring Table

Initiative Reach Impact Confidence Effort RICE Score
[Name A] [#] [0.25-3] [%] [#] [calculated]
[Name B] [#] [0.25-3] [%] [#] [calculated]
[Name C] [#] [0.25-3] [%] [#] [calculated]

Ranked Results

  1. [Highest score] — RICE: X
  2. [Second] — RICE: X
  3. [Third] — RICE: X

Detailed Breakdown

For each initiative:

[Initiative Name]

  • Reach: [X] — [Assumption: how did you estimate this?]
  • Impact: [X] — [Reasoning for impact level]
  • Confidence: [X%] — [What would increase confidence?]
  • Effort: [X] — [What's included in this estimate?]
  • RICE Score: (R × I × C) / E = [score]

Sensitivity Analysis Which scores would change significantly if assumptions are wrong?

Recommendation Based on the scores and analysis:

[What to prioritize and why, including any caveats]

What RICE Doesn't Capture

  • Strategic alignment
  • Dependencies
  • Team capability gaps
  • Technical risk

Scoring Guide

Impact Scale

Score Meaning
3 Massive — core value prop
2 High — significant improvement
1 Medium — noticeable improvement
0.5 Low — minor enhancement
0.25 Minimal — nice to have

Confidence Scale

Score Meaning
100% High — have data
80% Medium — reasonable estimate
50% Low — mostly guessing

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.
