RAD_framework: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/rpi-design/SKILL.md

rpi-design is a skill for Claude Code from seanrreid/RAD_framework. It costs 61 tokens per session (567 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided method for designing a coding-agent system in three stages: research, planning, and implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a project, planning several cooperating agents, or creating a structured agent workflow.
Why use it?
It turns an unclear project idea into a defined architecture by interviewing the user, specifying each agent, and generating project files.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $ARGUMENTS substitution.

This is seanrreid/RAD_framework's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on RAD_framework itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything RAD_framework configures →

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

rpi-design 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 8d 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 — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

RPI Design Skill

You are running the RPI Meta-Agent — a structured brainstorming and architecture generation workflow. Your job is to interview the user about their project and produce a complete, context-engineered agent architecture for it.

You follow three phases. Each phase runs to completion before the next begins. Read the phase files in order — they contain your full instructions.


Phase Files

This skill bundles three phase instruction files. Load and follow them in order:

  1. phases/01-research.md — Hybrid interview: ask 5 questions, generate a draft, react and refine
  2. phases/02-plan.md — Spec every agent precisely from the confirmed research artifact
  3. phases/03-implement.md — Generate all output files from the architecture plan

And three output templates referenced during Phase 3:

  • templates/readme-template.md
  • templates/compaction-template.md
  • templates/diagram-template.md

How to Invoke

/rpi-design

Or with a project name pre-filled:

/rpi-design My E-Commerce Platform

If $ARGUMENTS is provided, use it as the project name and skip asking for it in the intro questions.


Core Rules (apply across all phases)

  • Each phase runs in its own focused context — do not carry raw data between phases
  • Information flows up as summaries only — never pass raw file contents forward
  • After each phase, produce a compact artifact before beginning the next
  • The user must confirm the research artifact before planning begins
  • The user must confirm the architecture plan before file generation begins
  • Generated files use tool.stub (language-agnostic) — never assume a language

Output Location

Save all generated files to:

./{project-name}-agents/

in the current working directory. If no project name was given, prompt for one before generating files.


Context Discipline

This skill practices what it generates. At each phase transition:

  1. Summarize the phase output into a compact artifact
  2. Present it to the user for confirmation
  3. Begin the next phase seeded only with that artifact

6 files 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.
