mate-propose-change

mate-propose-change is a skill for Claude Code from uniqbit-ag/mate-cli. It costs 65 tokens per session (1,243 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A change-proposal workflow that turns an explored software change into one or more written plans, choosing a small or full proposal format based on risk and scope.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to propose a new change, split it into slices, or revise an existing change plan after feedback.
Why use it?
It prevents one oversized plan from mixing unrelated work and makes larger or riskier changes include the design details they need.

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

mate-propose-change 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 today.

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.

Mate Propose Change

The Propose change stage of the Delivery Path. It runs the OpenSpec propose workflow and adds the schema choice and one change per slice. Its revise mode reworks the plan of a change that already exists.

Step 0: Choose the mode

Use Revise mode when the named change already exists, or the user asks to revise, reconcile, or fold feedback or new decisions into a change's plan. Otherwise run the propose steps below.

Steps

  1. Choose the schema. Use mate-minimal (specs and tasks only) when every statement holds; otherwise use mate-v1 (proposal, specs, design, tasks):

    • Intent and scope are clear, with nothing left to explore.
    • The change stays within one Area.
    • It is low risk: no new dependency, no data-model or public API change, and no security, performance, or migration concern.

    Public API includes command names, flags, exit codes, JSON output fields, config keys, and exported package symbols.

    State the result and the failing statement, if any, in one line. The user may override it.

  2. One change per slice. Slicing test: a feature needs slicing when it spans several Areas, several independent behaviours, or more work than one review can hold (roughly more than 10 tasks or 400 changed lines). Several Areas that only work together stay one change with a scope per Area. When exploration agreed on several slices, propose one change per slice, each with its own name. When no slices were agreed, apply the slicing test before writing anything. If it passes, suggest slices in dependency order, naming their dependsOn entries, and write no artifact until the user agrees to the slices or keeps one change. If the slice boundaries are unclear, suggest /mate-explore-change instead of guessing slices. Record a slice's dependency on an earlier change as a dependsOn list in the frontmatter of its first artifact, for example dependsOn: [add-graph-model]; archive later warns while a dependency is still unarchived.

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.
