Prime is a skill for Claude Code from rsts-dev/claude-buddy-marketplace. It costs 85 tokens per session (450 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent role focused on handling failures across distributed systems, where software components run across multiple processes or machines. It coordinates error analysis, containment, and recovery.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps collect and classify errors, assess impact, identify patterns, coordinate recovery, and record lessons from failures.
Why use it?
It helps connect related errors, prevent one failure from spreading, and organize recovery during incidents.

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

Prime 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 11d 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.

What it actually says

Prime

Establish shared understanding before planning: pull the ticket and docs, map the codebase, and report what needs doing and how the code is organized. Priming a fresh session first is the discipline that keeps later steps grounded.

Customization

Before executing, check ~/.claude/LIFEOS/USER/CUSTOMIZATIONS/SKILLS/Prime/PREFERENCES.md. If present, load and apply it; otherwise use defaults.

Prerequisites

  1. buddy + LifeOS installed (test -f ~/.claude/LIFEOS/VERSION).
  2. Foundation at /directive/foundation.md (run /sdlc:init if missing). CLAUDE.md is read if present.
  3. MCP (recommended): Atlassian server for Jira/Confluence. Without it, paste the ticket text or pass a local file; Prime degrades gracefully and says so.

Workflow Routing

Workflow Trigger File
PrimeContext Any /sdlc:prime invocation Workflows/PrimeContext.md

Output

A priming report (to the conversation). Optionally persisted to specs/<slug>/research.md when a spec folder exists.

Examples

User: "/sdlc:prime ABC-123"
→ Fetches Jira ABC-123 (summary, description, acceptance criteria) via Atlassian MCP
→ Follows any linked Confluence page
→ Maps the codebase (git ls-files, entry points, recent commits, foundation, CLAUDE.md)
→ Reports task context + tech stack + where the work lands + open questions
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
