breaking-driven

breaking-driven is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OutlineDriven/odin-claude-plugin. It costs 63 tokens per session (1,332 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A code-rebuilding method for removing unnecessary parts of a bloated module and deriving a smaller replacement from its required behavior. Bloat means extra code or structure that makes a system harder to change.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for a named module that needs a clean rebuild, or for a repo-wide bloat review when that broader scope is explicitly requested.
Why use it?
It addresses situations where repeated patches have made a subsystem difficult to understand or maintain.

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

breaking-driven 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 46 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Breaking-driven development

Contract

Field Bound contract
Trigger The user says "this module is bloated", "rewrite this properly", or "break it and rebuild".
Authority Destructive changes restricted to VCS-tracked targets; show the exact set before mutation and use version control as recovery.
Side effect Deletes obsolete implementation and residue, writes the replacement, and adds essential-behavior tests.
Done Consumer contract preserved, every divergence classified, residue absent, and verifier green.

Inputs

A named path or identified target must be supplied or named in the request and defines the whole job. Optionally, a blank invocation or explicit repo-wide wording surveys the repo and works through a ranked list one target at a time.

Procedure

  1. Pick the target. A named path goes straight to step 2. Survey only on explicit repo-wide intent, ranking candidates by bloat signal — size, duplication, indirection depth, branch density — then work the list in order. Any identifiable target scopes to itself; escalating a named grievance into a whole-tree campaign is this skill's worst failure, and trigger phrasing alone cannot tell a single target from a sweep. Done when: a single target is selected or a ranked survey list is produced on explicit repo-wide intent.

  2. Classify the surface. Inventory consumers. Mark interior (every caller in-tree, nothing persisted or shipped) or boundary (public API, wire or on-disk format, config running in someone else's deployment, plugin point, anything a version was promised against). Interior is a conclusion, not a default: every consumer channel static analysis cannot resolve — reflection, string dispatch, generated code, external integrations, operator runbooks — carries boundary class until evidence or an explicit yes moves it. An empty grep over dynamic dispatch is not evidence; unresolved means boundary. Done when: every consumer is classified interior or boundary with evidence for interior claims.

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.

breaking-driven is a skill published in the GitHub repository OutlineDriven/odin-claude-plugin (35 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 1,332 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 2026-08-30.
