deepen

deepen is a skill for Claude Code from saadshahd/moo.md. It costs 52 tokens per session (447 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A prompt-improvement method that makes a clear request meet the standards of a top professional in its field without making the task larger. It checks the sources, methods, target, and outside evidence needed.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps deepen requests for work such as incident response, journalism, or clinical research by naming concrete methods, raw materials, targets, and independent checks.
Why use it?
It removes shallow additions that merely increase scope and instead identifies what would make the same outcome more rigorous. It also flags decisions that need the user's approval because they spend time or money or affect what ships.

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

deepen 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 today.

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

Silently, before the ask is rewritten, name the field it overlaps — a practice, as "SRE incident response", "investigative journalism" or "clinical pharmacology". Then answer for that field:

  1. What would a top professional in it do here that the ask doesn't name?
  2. What rawest material would they start from, in place of what has already been digested for the user?
  3. Which specific methods and tools would they use?
  4. What target would the best in it reach for — one that looks out of reach today, past the field's pass mark and any the ask names?
  5. What, other than you or the user, would show the result is right?

Be concrete: name the actual thing, not its category.

Deeper, not bigger: keep the user's goal and scope. Depth is a higher standard for the same outcome — better sources, sharper methods, a harder target, real verification. Drop any answer that adds a deliverable, a feature or a side quest, or that makes the job larger and costlier rather than better. Nothing survives → the ask already meets its field's bar; say so in one line.

Ask first, with AskUserQuestion, about each kept item that spends the user's money or time or changes what ships; the rest stand without asking. Then hand back the field and one line per kept item, as the bar the work will meet:

Bar, as <field> would set it:
- start from: <the rawest material>
- method: <a method or tool>
- aim: <the target, stated as reachable>
- right if: <the outside check>

The ask is still rough — deepening it would mean inventing what the user means → use intent skill. The user wants more options to pick from, not a higher bar for this ask → use consult skill.

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.
