figure-it-out

figure-it-out is a skill for Codex from OutlineDriven/outline-driven-development. It costs 49 tokens per session (661 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for designing a custom way to execute a task when no existing playbook fits, using a success check that can be proven or disproven.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for checking available playbooks, defining a falsifiable success condition, and choosing the smallest task-specific scripts, commands, probes, or local artifacts needed.
Why use it?
It gives unusual tasks a reviewable process instead of relying on an improvised sequence with no clear definition of success.

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

figure-it-out 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 5d 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.

Figure it out

Contract

Field Bound contract
Trigger Design a bespoke execution workflow when no playbook fits.
Authority Write only named local artifacts built for this task; state the rollback path before writing each one.
Side effect Builds and runs task-specific levers; changes limited to local artifacts named in the workflow.
Done Predicate verified on real product with reviewable trail.

Inputs

  • The task to execute and the falsifiable success predicate that defines done. Required.
  • Available tools and the real product surface the predicate must be verified against. Required.
  • Existing playbooks or prior workflows, if any, to confirm none fits. Optional.

Procedure

  1. Confirm no existing playbook fits the task; if one does, stop and defer to it. Done when: no playbook fits, or the skill stops and defers.
  2. Define a falsifiable success predicate: a check that can fail on the real product, not a tautology. Done when: the predicate is stated and can fail.
  3. Design the smallest bespoke workflow that reaches the predicate: name each lever (script, command, probe, or local artifact), its input, and its expected output. Done when: every lever is named with its input and expected output.
  4. State the rollback path for every local artifact the workflow writes before writing it. Done when: every artifact's rollback path is stated before it is written.
  5. Build and run each lever in order, recording the command, the real output, and whether it advanced the predicate. Done when: every lever is run with its real output recorded.
  6. Verify the success predicate against the real product, not a mock or a proxy. Done when: the predicate is verified or fails on the real product.
  7. Assemble the reviewable trail: the predicate, each lever run with its real output, and the final verification result. Done when: the trail is assembled with predicate, lever runs, and verification result.

Failure and recovery

  • No-fitting-playbook check fails: if a playbook fits, stop; do not invent a bespoke workflow.
  • Predicate is not falsifiable: stop; require a predicate that can fail before proceeding.
  • Lever output contradicts expected output: record the contradiction, do not advance; revise the lever or the workflow and re-run from the changed step.
  • Predicate fails on real product: report the failure with the trail; do not claim done. Roll back local artifacts via the stated rollback path if the workflow left the product in a worse state.
  • Blocked or non-converged result: the predicate is not verified and the trail shows which lever failed and why; no done claim is made.

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.
