fresh-reader-review

fresh-reader-review is a skill for Codex from OutlineDriven/outline-driven-development. It costs 66 tokens per session (1,001 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A cold-reading review that asks isolated reviewers to judge an artifact with no surrounding context. It checks whether a newcomer can understand a document, README, skill, or pull-request description.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review documentation and other written artifacts, compare reviewers' understanding with the intended purpose, and order the fixes by severity.
Why use it?
It exposes missing explanations and confusing assumptions before an artifact reaches readers who do not share its background.

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

fresh-reader-review 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 50 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Fresh reader review

Can a new reader understand the artifact without the context that produced it?

Contract

Field Bound contract
Trigger User asks 'does this make sense to someone new' or 'cold-read this', or a README, document, skill, or PR description is about to ship.
Authority Read-only. No file, VCS, credential, paid, published, deployed, or remote mutation.
Side effect One or more isolated clean-room sub-sessions are dispatched depending on artifact stakes and size; the verdict and ordered fixes return in chat and the artifact is never edited.
Done Blind sub-sessions, each reading only the inline artifact with no surrounding context, return a standalone verdict and severity-ordered fixes.

Inputs

  • Artifact (required): The file, document, or text to cold-read. Supplied inline as content, not as a repo path.
  • Intent note (required): A one-line private note on what the artifact is meant to be and who it is for. The reviewer never sees this.

Procedure

  1. Pin scope and private intent. Identify the artifact in focus. Privately note in one line what it is meant to be and who it is for; the reviewer never sees this. Done when: the artifact is identified and the intent is privately noted.
  2. Segment the artifact if oversized. If the artifact exceeds what one sub-session can hold in context, split it into independent segments at natural boundaries (sections, chapters, files). Each segment gets its own blind read in step 3. Done when: the artifact is either confirmed as a single read or split into segments with boundaries marked.
  3. Dispatch the required number of blind sub-sessions. Each sub-session receives the artifact (or one segment) inline, not a repo path. Instruct every sub-session: (a) do not open the project's README, docs, or neighbors; (b) read only what is provided inline; (c) diagnose, do not fix. The number of sub-sessions is:
    • One for a standard artifact with normal visibility.
    • Multiple independent for a high-visibility artifact, irreversible publish, or safety-critical content. Use at least three; each gets the full artifact independently.
    • One per segment for an oversized artifact that was split in step 2. Each sub-session reads only its segment. Done when: the required sub-sessions are dispatched with the artifact inline and isolation instructions.
  4. Collect blind understanding. Ask each sub-session to report what it takes the artifact to be, what is unclear or assumed but unstated, and what it had to guess before it could act. Done when: every sub-session reports its understanding, unclear points, and guesses.
  5. Compare blind understanding against intent. For each sub-session, compare its blind understanding against the intent noted in step 1. Every mismatch is a defect in the artifact. Done when: every mismatch is identified as a defect.
  6. Merge, deduplicate, and order defects. When multiple sub-sessions ran, merge their defect lists, deduplicate overlaps, and order by how badly each blocks a fresh reader. A defect reported by multiple independent sub-sessions ranks higher than one reported by a single sub-session. Done when: defects are ordered by severity with concrete fixes, or the verdict 'stands on its own' is returned with an empty fix list.

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.
