evaluate

evaluate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from xg-gh-25/SwarmAI. It costs 79 tokens per session (4,065 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A decision step for assessing a requirement or feature request against a project's goals, technical limits, past work, and current priorities.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to triage requests, estimate effort and impact, define scope, set acceptance criteria, and produce a GO, DEFER, REJECT, or ESCALATE recommendation.
Why use it?
It helps decide whether a request should be built, postponed, rejected, or escalated before development time is spent.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python backend/scripts/artifact_cli.py publish \.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

evaluate 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 10d 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.

Requirement Evaluation

The "should we?" gate for the lifecycle pipeline. Evaluates any incoming requirement, feature request, or task against the 4 DDD questions before committing pipeline resources.

Works at L0 (structures any request with effort/impact). Gets autonomous judgment at L2 (DDD docs provide strategic alignment, feasibility, and history).

The 4 Questions

Every evaluation answers these, in order:

# Question Source Without DDD
1 Should we do this? PRODUCT.md (strategic alignment) Ask the user
2 Can we do this? TECH.md (feasibility, constraints) Estimate from request
3 Have we tried this? IMPROVEMENT.md (past lessons) No historical context
4 Should we do it now? PROJECT.md (current priorities) Assume yes

Workflow

Step 1: Parse the Request

From the user's message, extract:

  • What: one-sentence description of the requirement
  • Why: stated motivation or inferred business value
  • Who: who benefits (end user, developer, internal team)
  • Constraints: deadlines, dependencies, blockers mentioned

If the request is too vague to parse (e.g., "improve things"), ESCALATE immediately:

"I need more specifics to evaluate this. What specifically should improve, and what would success look like?"

Step 2: Score (L2 with DDD docs)

Read the DDD docs and score each dimension 1-5:

Strategic Alignment (PRODUCT.md):

  • 5: Directly serves #1 priority
  • 4: Serves top-3 priorities
  • 3: Aligned but not priority
  • 2: Tangentially related
  • 1: Not aligned / conflicts with non-goals

Feasibility (TECH.md):

  • 5: Trivial — existing pattern, < 1 session
  • 4: Straightforward — known approach, 1-2 sessions
  • 3: Moderate — some unknowns, 2-4 sessions
  • 2: Hard — significant unknowns or new patterns, 4+ sessions
  • 1: Very hard — architectural change, cross-cutting, weeks

Historical Lessons (IMPROVEMENT.md):

  • Check "What Failed" for similar past attempts
  • Check "What Worked" for applicable patterns
  • Check "Known Issues" for related problems
  • Score 1-5:
    • 5: Strong proven pattern — same approach succeeded before
    • 4: Related pattern exists — similar approach worked
    • 3: No history — neutral (default)
    • 2: Weak negative signal — partial failure or abandoned attempt
    • 1: Strong negative — same approach tried and failed

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.

evaluate is a skill published in the GitHub repository xg-gh-25/SwarmAI (44 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 79 tokens to every session and 4,065 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
