from-impact-perspective

from-impact-perspective is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OutlineDriven/odin-claude-plugin. It costs 35 tokens per session (493 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An impact-focused analysis method that identifies which people, components, or forces actually change because of a decision or event.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to trace who or what moves, what changes, and which claimed effects still need verification.
Why use it?
It separates observed effects from assumptions and avoids mixing impact analysis with other ways of examining a design.

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

from-impact-perspective 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 3d 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.

From impact perspective

Contract

Field Bound contract
Trigger User wants an answer only from the impact seat (who and what actually moves).
Authority Read-only. No file, VCS, credential, paid, published, deployed, or remote mutation.
Side effect Returns an impact-perspective analysis in chat; no other surface is touched.
Done Returns an impact-perspective answer without blending.

Not for

  • Rebuilding a design from primitives: use from-first-principle.
  • Blended multi-seat analysis: run each from-*-perspective seat independently and compare after.
  • Source or remote mutation: this skill is read-only.

Inputs

The question or subject to analyze from the impact seat (required). Optional: the codebase, change, or decision context under analysis.

Procedure

  1. Identify the subject and the impact seat's scope: which actors, components, or forces actually change state, position, or outcome as a result of the subject. Done when: the movers are identified.
  2. Trace what actually moves versus what merely appears to move or is assumed to move; mark unverified impact as inference. Done when: each claimed impact is labeled observed or inference.
  3. Answer only from the impact seat. Do not blend other perspectives (business, codebase, career, breaking, stability) into the answer. If another seat is relevant, name it as a separate lens to run independently. Done when: the answer contains no blended perspective.
  4. Return the impact-perspective answer in chat as a standalone analysis. Done when: the answer is emitted and stands alone.

Failure and recovery

  • Blended answer: if the draft folds in another perspective, re-separate and re-emit from the impact seat only.
  • No observable impact: if nothing actually moves, state that explicitly rather than inventing impact.
  • Blocked: if the subject is too underspecified to identify movers, return a blocked result naming the missing input; do not widen scope or guess.

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.
