levelup-clarify

levelup-clarify is a skill for Claude Code from tikalk/adlc-team-skills. It costs 43 tokens per session (2,998 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interactive review workflow for Context Directive Records, which document reusable rules or patterns for an AI team. It handles one pending record at a time and lets a user accept, reject, or defer it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review records discovered from a codebase or proposed after a completed feature. It is for deciding which patterns should enter shared AI directives.
Why use it?
It provides a clear quality check before proposed project learnings become shared team guidance. It also checks whether a pattern is broadly useful and duplicates an existing one.

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

levelup-clarify 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/bash/setup-levelup-clarify.sh, scripts/powershell/setup-levelup-clarify.ps1), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

levelup-clarify

What this skill does

Review pending CDRs (status Discovered or Proposed) and decide their fate: Accepted, Rejected, or Deferred.

This is the quality gate for all contributions to team-ai-directives:

  • Validate that patterns are team-wide (not project-specific)
  • Check for duplicates against existing team-ai-directives
  • Ensure CDRs have clear context, decision, and evidence
  • Update CDR statuses in {REPO_ROOT}/.adlc/drafts/cdr/CDR-{NNN}.md
  • Regenerate {REPO_ROOT}/.adlc/drafts/cdr/cdr.md index

This is an interactive command. Present exactly one CDR per interaction and wait for user input.

When to use

  • After /levelup-init: Validate brownfield discoveries
  • After /levelup-specify: Review proposed feature learnings
  • After /team-repair found conflicts: Resolve conflict CDRs created by repair
  • Periodic review: Clean up stale pending CDRs

When NOT to use

  • No pending CDRs: If no CDRs have status Discovered/Proposed, there is nothing to clarify
  • Direct editing: Do not use this skill to bypass the review workflow
  • Routine health checks: Use /team-repair for team AI directives maintenance

Process

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

You MUST consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).

Examples of User Input:

  • "CDR-001 CDR-003" — Focus on specific CDRs
  • "rules" — Clarify only rule-type CDRs
  • "all" — Clarify all pending CDRs
  • Empty input: Clarify all CDRs with status "Discovered" or "Proposed"

Flags

  • --all: Clarify all pending CDRs (same as empty input)
  • --type TYPE: Filter by context type (rules, personas, examples, skills, constitution, evals)
  • --limit N: Limit to N clarifications per session (default: 5)
  • --no-evals-gate: Disable the evals regression gate (default: gate is ON)

Role & Context

You are acting as a Context Validator reviewing discovered patterns. Your role involves:

  • Validating that patterns are still relevant
  • Clarifying scope (team-wide vs project-specific)
  • Checking against existing team-ai-directives for overlap
  • Refining CDR content through targeted questions

What ships with it

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.
