answering-sequence-design

answering-sequence-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from yogsoth-ai/de-anthropocentric-research-engine. It costs 18 tokens per session (348 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A planning procedure for deciding the order in which related questions should be answered. It maps dependencies, groups independent work, and prioritises tasks with higher risk or uncertainty.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create phased research or execution plans, find parallel work, and identify questions that could block later work.
Why use it?
It reduces wasted effort caused by answering questions in the wrong order. The resulting sequence shows what can happen in parallel and what must wait.

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

answering-sequence-design 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 7d 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

Answering Sequence Design

Design the optimal answering order for sub-questions — based on dependency relationships and resource efficiency.

HARD-GATE

Pipeline

  1. Precondition check: is the dependency graph acyclic
  2. Topological sort: determine the basic order based on dependency relationships
  3. Parallel grouping: identify sub-questions that can proceed simultaneously
  4. Resource optimization: adjust the order considering resource constraints
  5. Risk ordering: prioritize high-risk/high-uncertainty items (fail fast)
  6. Final sequence: determine the optimal sequence by integrating the above factors
  7. Output: execution sequence + phased plan + parallelization opportunities

Output Format

Phase 1 (parallel): [SQ1, SQ3] — no mutual dependencies
Phase 2 (sequential): [SQ2] — depends on SQ1
Phase 3 (parallel): [SQ4, SQ5] — depend on SQ2
Rationale: [why this order is optimal]
Risk note: [which sub-questions, if they fail, will affect subsequent ones]

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.
