lean-ai-adoption-coach

lean-ai-adoption-coach is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from saski/arnesto. It costs 76 tokens per session (814 once invoked), scanned A, original, Unlicense.

A guide for deciding how software teams should adopt AI tools, agents, workflows, prompts, and automations. It uses Lean and Extreme Programming ideas to focus on useful outcomes and manageable complexity.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to evaluate AI initiatives, decide what to automate, set rollout guardrails, reduce wasted work, and assign ownership and retirement plans to AI assets.
Why use it?
It helps teams avoid tool sprawl, unused prompts, unnecessary automation, and AI projects that create more maintenance work than value.

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

lean-ai-adoption-coach 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 7d 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.

Lean AI Adoption Coach

Goal

Help engineering teams adopt AI in ways that improve flow, quality, learning, and maintainability instead of increasing tool sprawl and orphan assets.

Core Question

Does this reduce waste and improve flow, or just make it cheaper to build more stuff?

Use This Skill When

  • The user wants to evaluate a new AI tool, agent, workflow, prompt library, script, or automation.
  • The user needs to decide whether a task should be automated or kept manual.
  • The user wants guardrails, standards, or rollout guidance for AI usage.
  • The user suspects prompt graveyards, agent theater, tool sprawl, or unused AI assets.
  • The user wants to know whether an AI initiative creates real value or just more complexity.

Cross-Platform Rules

  • Keep recommendations tool-agnostic unless the user explicitly asks about a specific platform.
  • Prefer shared patterns over platform-specific one-offs when the same need exists in Codex, Cursor, Claude, Gemini, or Antigravity.
  • Use forward-slash paths and portable terminology.
  • Penalize any tool, agent, prompt, or automation that has no clear owner or retirement path.

Workflow

  1. Define the problem in one sentence.
    • What friction are we reducing?
    • Who experiences it?
    • What evidence shows it exists today?
  2. Classify the work.
    • Repetitive and well understood
    • Ambiguous but frequent
    • High-judgment or high-risk
    • Rare or occasional
  3. Apply the Lean/XP heuristic.
    • Favor adoption when the work is frequent, bottlenecked, quickly reviewable, and owned.
    • Postpone when the problem is unclear, the tool adds a layer without removing one, or maintenance is ownerless.
  4. Choose the minimum viable adoption level.
    • Guided individual use
    • Shared team pattern
    • Light workflow integration
    • Formal automation
    • Cross-team platform or standard
  5. Define guardrails.
    • Owner
    • Allowed use case
    • Non-allowed use case
    • Quality criteria
    • Rollback criteria
    • Review date
    • Retirement path

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.
