diverge

diverge is a skill for Codex from OutlineDriven/outline-driven-development. It costs 37 tokens per session (624 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A decision-making aid that expands a choice by adding options and ways to compare them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when exploring a decision field, its candidate options, and the criteria or constraints around them.
Why use it?
It helps reveal alternatives and considerations that may be missing before a decision is made.

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

diverge 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.

Contract

Field Bound contract
Trigger User wants to expand a decision field.
Authority Read-only. No file, VCS, credential, paid, published, deployed, or remote mutation.
Side effect Chat output: an expanded decision field.
Done The decision field is expanded with additional options and dimensions.

Inputs

  • A decision question or statement (required): the choice the user is weighing.
  • Known options (optional): candidate choices already on the table.
  • Known dimensions (optional): criteria or axes already being considered.
  • Constraints or context (optional): bounds, preferences, or stakes that shape the field.

Procedure

  1. Restate the decision question in one sentence and confirm it names a choice between alternatives, not a task to execute. If it does not name a choice, stop and ask the user to restate it. Done when: a choice between alternatives is confirmed or the skill stops to ask.
  2. List the known options and known dimensions the user supplied; mark any that are absent as empty. Done when: the known sets are listed or marked empty.
  3. Generate additional options the user has not named, including opposites, hybrids, deferrals, and status-quo variants. Each option is one phrase plus a one-line rationale. Done when: new options are generated without duplicates.
  4. Generate additional dimensions the user has not named: criteria or axes along which any option could be evaluated. Each dimension is one phrase plus a one-line description of what it measures. Done when: new dimensions are generated without duplicates.
  5. Tag every option and dimension as known or new so the expansion is visible. Done when: every entry is tagged.
  6. Return the expanded field as a structured list: decision question, options (known then new), dimensions (known then new). Done when: the ordered structured list is returned.

Failure and recovery

  • Vague decision question: ask the user to restate it as a choice between alternatives before expanding; do not invent the question.
  • No known options or dimensions supplied: proceed with an empty known set and generate the field from the question alone; note that the starting set was empty.
  • Expansion produces no new options or dimensions: report that the field appears saturated and return the known set unchanged rather than padding with redundant entries.
  • Partial result: return whatever options and dimensions were generated, label the set as partial, and state that generation stopped early; never claim the field is complete.

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.
