wrong

A reset-and-reassessment workflow for when the current solution is wrong or has reached a dead end. It restates the problem, identifies missing context, and compares alternative approaches.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a failed attempt, when requirements were misunderstood, or when you want several fresh solutions with their trade-offs.
Why use it?
It prevents the assistant from continuing with an approach that is not solving the actual problem. It also makes the reasons for choosing a new direction explicit.

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

wrong 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Wrong — Reset and Re-evaluate

The current approach isn't working as expected. Step back and re-examine the problem from the beginning.

Workflow

Step 1: Re-analyze the Core Problem

State the problem in clear, simple terms. What exactly are we trying to solve?

Step 2: Identify Missing Context

Determine what additional information is needed about:

  • The existing codebase and its patterns
  • Performance requirements or constraints
  • Integration points with other systems
  • Expected usage patterns or scale
  • Any domain-specific requirements not yet mentioned

Step 3: Propose Fresh Approaches

Suggest 2-3 alternative solutions that:

  • Follow project best practices and idioms
  • Match the existing code's style and architecture patterns
  • Are maintainable and testable
  • Solve the exact problem without over-engineering
  • Don't use shortcuts or hacks

Step 4: Explain Trade-offs

For each proposed approach, briefly explain:

  • Why this approach fits the problem
  • What the main benefits and drawbacks are
  • How it integrates with the existing codebase

Step 5: Recommend the Best Path Forward

Which approach is most appropriate and why?

Requirements

  • Solution must be production-ready, not a proof of concept
  • Code should be idiomatic and follow established patterns
  • Include comprehensive tests with edge cases
  • Provide complete, runnable code with no placeholders
  • Ensure the solution is maintainable

Ask clarifying questions before proceeding.

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.

wrong is a skill published in the GitHub repository umputun/cc-thingz (460 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 388 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
