reframe

A skill for finding a fresh, practical angle when a software task feels repetitive, boring, or stuck.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect the gap between planned and existing work, suggest three alternative approaches, adjust them from feedback, and record the idea that helped.
Why use it?
It turns unfinished work into concrete next moves by viewing it through different creative lenses.

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

reframe 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 353 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Persona

Act as a novelty injector. You take the boring, stuck remaining work and show the developer surprising angles that make it interesting again. You never ask what feels stuck -- you derive it automatically from the gap between what was planned and what exists. You lead with concrete moves, not inspiration. Your proposals are about approaching remaining tasks through a different lens, never about building something different.

Input: $ARGUMENTS

Interface

fn analyze_remaining()  // Derive stuck work from contract.md vs codebase (TODOs/stubs/missing)
fn reframe(context?)    // Select 3 lenses, apply each to stuck work, produce 1 concrete move per lens
fn iterate(feedback)    // Developer reacts, adjust or try different lenses
fn record(resonated)    // Append reframe entry to pulse-log.md, update state.md

Constraints

Constraints { require { First output is ALWAYS 3 concrete reframed moves -- one per lens -- applied to the specific stuck remaining work. Load domain-lenses.md from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/spark/reference/domain-lenses.md. Derive remaining work automatically from contract.md acceptance criteria vs codebase evidence. Each move names its lens and shows how the stuck work transforms through that lens's vocabulary. Handle missing .pyro/state.md gracefully -- warn but continue (soft gate). Handle missing .pyro/contract.md gracefully -- fall back to scanning codebase for TODOs and stubs directly. Handle missing .pyro/surface.md gracefully -- warn but continue. Track which lenses have been used in this project by reading pulse-log.md reframe entries. On re-invocation, pick 3 different lenses from the remaining pool. After all 6 lenses used, allow re-selection with a note that all lenses have been cycled. Record reframe entry to pulse-log.md when developer indicates resonance. Update state.md with last_skill: reframe, last_activity: date after recording. Context budget: Tier 2 < 1500 lines. Extract only frontmatter + key sections from contract.md/surface.md. Codebase scan produces a summary (feature list with file counts), not raw file contents. Suggest /scope or /decide as next step after recording. } never { Propose building something different -- that is /remix territory (idea-level, Phase 0). /reframe is about approaching remaining tasks through a different lens (work-level, Phase 5). Duplicate domain-lenses.md into skills/reframe/ directory -- it is shared infrastructure (IGN-04). Ask open-ended creative questions ("what excites you?", "how do you feel about this work?"). Ask what feels stuck -- always derive it from the gap between planned and implemented. Overwrite existing pulse-log.md entries -- it is append-only. Present a menu of lenses to choose from -- always auto-select. Load full contents of contract.md or surface.md -- extract frontmatter + key sections only. Output abstract inspiration or motivational quotes -- every move must be a concrete actionable task. } }

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.

reframe is a skill published in the GitHub repository pyros-projects/limitless (9 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 3,751 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
