split-initiative

split-initiative is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from siarhei-belavus/agent-public. It costs 37 tokens per session (494 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A task-planning guide that breaks a large initiative into small, connected work items in TASKGRAPH.md. Each item has an owner, boundaries, dependencies, and checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to divide planned work into vertical slices—small pieces that deliver a complete part of the outcome—and sequence them by risk and uncertainty.
Why use it?
It makes a large project easier to understand and review by showing what can be done independently and what must happen first.

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

split-initiative 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 2mo 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 — 54 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

split-initiative

Read first

  • ../references/initiative-packet-contract.md
  • ../references/initiative-workflow-contract.md
  • ../references/final-state-authoring-policy.md
  • initiative BRIEF.md, UBIQUITOUS_LANGUAGE.md, DECISIONS.md, INVARIANTS.md, REPO_MAP.md, CONTRACTS.md, OPEN_QUESTIONS.md
  • optional SPLIT_OPTIONS.md
  • ../../references/communication-mode.md

Goal

Write the first semantic TASK_GRAPH.md so each child is independently understandable, has explicit dependencies, and is small enough for a normal Atelier child loop.

Heuristics to internalize

  • prefer vertical slices over horizontal phase buckets
  • make each child understandable without giant hidden context
  • state explicit scope, out-of-scope, validation expectations, and dependencies
  • sequence by uncertainty and risk reduction
  • keep one main change seam per child when possible
  • prefer one clear owner repo per child; treat truly multi-repo children as a smell unless the boundary is genuinely inseparable

Write into TASK_GRAPH.md

For each child:

  • slug / title
  • owner or owning repo / boundary
  • Packet Root: repo root where the child packet will live
  • dependency edges
  • scope summary
  • contract surface summary
  • validation expectations
  • optional blocker note
  • Child Status: ready when dependencies are already satisfied, otherwise Child Status: pending

Status

  • enter initiative Status: split_drafting if no split-drafting phase already exists
  • exit with initiative Status: split_review

Writing rule

Write the task graph as the canonical execution decomposition. Do not leave superseded split vocabulary or transitional child-state names in the graph.

Do not

  • create giant catch-all children
  • use the parent packet as a delivery plan
  • reference outside Atelier skill files for split heuristics

Communication

Honor active caveman mode for user-facing replies per ../../references/communication-mode.md. Keep durable artifacts normal unless the human asks otherwise. Drop caveman for safety/clarity when needed, then resume.

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.

split-initiative is a skill published in the GitHub repository siarhei-belavus/agent-public (2 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 494 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
