converge

converge is a skill for Codex from OutlineDriven/outline-driven-development. It costs 38 tokens per session (713 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A decision-recording aid for choosing one option from an open set of alternatives and documenting why it was selected. It writes the decision and rejected options to one local record.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to settle a technical or project decision after considering options, opinions, doubts, and assumptions.
Why use it?
It prevents unresolved choices from remaining vague or being revisited without a clear rationale.

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

converge 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 2d 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.

Converge

Contract

Field Bound contract
Trigger User wants to collapse an open decision field to one decision and record its rationale.
Authority Reversible local: writes only one named local decision record file; rollback is deleting or reverting that file. No remote mutation.
Side effect A decision and rationale written to one local decision record file; the open field is marked collapsed.
Done The decision field is collapsed to one decision with a distinguishing rationale recorded in the local decision file.

Inputs

  • The open decision field: the set of considered options, recorded human opinions, agent doubts, and obvious assumptions. Required.
  • The human's chosen option. Required; if not supplied, prompt the human to select one.
  • The decision record path. Optional; defaults to docs/decisions/YYYYMMDD-decision.md where YYYYMMDD is today's date.

Decision record format

# Decision: <one-line summary>

Date: YYYY-MM-DD

## Chosen option

<the selected option>

## Rationale

<why this option won>

## Rejected options

- <option>: <why it was rejected>
- <option>: <why it was rejected>

Procedure

  1. Read the open decision field and enumerate every considered option, recorded human opinion, agent doubt, and obvious assumption. If no field exists, stop: there is nothing to collapse. Done when: every option, opinion, doubt, and assumption in the field is enumerated, or the absence of a field is reported.
  2. If the human's chosen option was not supplied, prompt the human to select one option from the field. Do not select on the human's behalf. Done when: the human has selected one option from the field.
  3. State the rationale that distinguishes the chosen option from each rejected option: why it won and why each other did not. If the rationale holds equally for a rejected option, ask the human to sharpen it before recording. Done when: a distinguishing rationale is stated for the chosen option against every rejected option.
  4. Write the chosen option and its distinguishing rationale to the decision record file at the determined path using the format above. Create the parent directory if needed. Mark the field collapsed. Done when: exactly one decision is recorded with rationale and the field is marked collapsed.

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.
