C.R.I.S.P: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/phase3-investigate/SKILL.md

phase3-investigate is a skill for Claude Code from radekamirko/C.R.I.S.P. It costs 93 tokens per session (5,175 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided process-mapping and discovery skill for understanding how a product or service should work. It covers user journeys, project goals, data flow, system connections, and user experience research.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map an existing workflow, explore a new process, identify user types, understand system architecture, or plan integration and user-experience work.
Why use it?
It helps reveal the current process and unresolved questions before designing a solution, reducing the risk of building around incorrect assumptions.

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

phase3-investigate 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 12d 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 — 432 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pacing Rule — One Section at a Time

Present one section, deliverable, or elicitation move at a time. After presenting — stop. Wait for the client to respond. Do not pre-fill and present multiple sections in one message. Do not move to the next step until the client confirms, corrects, or gives a clear go-ahead.

The goal is a conversation, not a document dump. If you've written more than one section without a client response in between — you've gone too far.


I — Investigate: Process Understanding

Map what exists (or what should exist) before designing a solution.

Project State

At the start of Phase I: read docs/crisp-state.json. Check phases C and R are complete. Use project.type, phases.R.hitlZones, phases.R.stakeholders for context.

At the end of Phase I (before exit checklist): update docs/crisp-state.json:

  • Set phases.current to "S"
  • Add "I" to phases.complete
  • Set phases.I.complete to true
  • Fill phases.I.processTrack, phases.I.userTypes, phases.I.dataMappingRequired, phases.I.uxDiscoveryRequired, phases.I.navigationPattern
  • Add any unresolved items to phases.I.openQuestions

Two Tracks

Track A: Existing Process (Automation)

Shadow the actual person doing the work. Step by step, no skipping.

  • What tool is open at each step?
  • What is copied, pasted, where does it go?
  • What decisions are made manually and why?
  • Where do errors happen? Where do things slow down?
  • Every tab, every click, every "and then I just..."

Goal: expose the real process, not the documented one. They are always different.

War story: Client wanted drag-and-drop category sorting for her e-commerce shop. A week of dev work, minimum. I asked why. "I just want to change the order for the season." I asked how she wanted to reorder it. She told me. Dev made the change in 4 minutes — one config update. The drag-and-drop feature never got built. Shadow the real process before you spec anything. The ask is almost never the need.

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.
