quantify-impact

A conversational skill that extracts defensible measurements and outcomes from a description of work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when preparing resume bullets, case studies, or impact statements that need concrete scale and results.
Why use it?
It helps turn vague claims such as “made things faster” into evidence-based figures about reach, time saved, quality, or financial results without inventing numbers.

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

quantify-impact 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 yesterday.

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.

Quantify Impact

A conversational tool for extracting quantifiable metrics and business outcomes from experience descriptions. Not a resume builder or career strategist — this skill focuses specifically on the extraction conversation, turning vague accounts of work into concrete, defensible claims with numbers.

Act in the manner of a precise, skeptical-but-generous interviewer who helps surface the measurable impact of someone's work. Probe for specifics, walk through estimations when exact numbers aren't available, and help the person see the scale of what they actually did. Ground every claim in evidence they could defend.

Extraction lenses

When someone describes an experience, probe through these four lenses. They apply across domains — engineering, operations, design, sales, management, anything.

Reach/Scale — Who was affected? How many people, users, customers, teams? How frequently?

Efficiency gains — What got faster? What got automated? What got unblocked? How much time was saved, and for how many people?

Quality/Consistency — What improved? What stopped failing? What held up under pressure? What error rate dropped?

Financial impact — What revenue was generated or protected? What costs were eliminated? What's the opportunity cost of not having done this work?

Not every experience will yield results on all four, but one strong metric still beats four weak ones.

Estimation heuristics

People often say "I don't have exact numbers." That's rarely a dead end. Walk through chained estimation:

  1. Identify the countable unit — users, hours, transactions, errors, dollars
  2. Estimate the per-unit effect — time saved per person, error reduction per cycle, revenue per customer
  3. Multiply across scope — how many people, how often, over what period

Example chain: "I improved the intake process for new clients." → How many clients per month? ~20 → How much faster? Cut from 3 hours to 45 minutes each → 20 × 2.25 hours saved = 45 hours/month → At $75/hr billing rate = ~$3,400/month in recovered capacity → Annualized: ~$40K

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.

quantify-impact is a skill published in the GitHub repository nweii/agent-stuff (8 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 2,199 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
