appropriateness-bounding

appropriateness-bounding is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from yogsoth-ai/de-anthropocentric-research-engine. It costs 24 tokens per session (739 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A structured way to decide whether an action or indication is appropriate for a particular situation. It uses panel ratings, discussion, and re-rating to set boundaries of acceptability.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for medical guidelines, regulatory standards, acceptable thresholds, or other decisions about when an action is suitable.
Why use it?
It helps groups make explicit, repeatable judgments where context matters. The process separates clearly acceptable cases from uncertain or inappropriate ones.

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

appropriateness-bounding 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 1mo 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.

Appropriateness Bounding

Purpose: Determine what is appropriate, acceptable, or indicated for a given context. Uses the RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method (rating + discussion + re-rating) or Consensus Conference (citizen jury) format to establish boundaries of acceptability.

When to use:

  • Medical guideline development (appropriate indications)
  • Regulatory standard setting
  • Establishing acceptable thresholds for action
  • Any question of the form "is X appropriate when Y?"

Budget

Parameter Constraint
Rounds 2 (rate → discuss → re-rate)
Perspectives ≥4 (ideally 7–15 for RAND/UCLA)
Rating scale 1–9 (inappropriate to appropriate)
Agreement threshold Median ≥7 without disagreement

State Ledger

Key Type Description
indications array List of scenarios to rate
perspectives array Panel member perspectives
round_1_ratings array Initial ratings per indication
discussion_notes string Key points from discussion
round_2_ratings array Post-discussion ratings
classifications object Appropriate/uncertain/inappropriate per item

Available Tactics

  • iterative-convergence-round — Two-round rate-discuss-rerate cycle
  • threshold-calibration — Determine where appropriateness boundaries fall

Available SOPs

  • judgment-collection
  • feedback-distribution
  • consensus-measurement
  • round-decision
  • threshold-sweep
  • consensus-classification
  • consensus-synthesis

Execution Guidance

  1. Define indications/scenarios clearly (clinical scenarios, use cases)
  2. Collect Round 1 ratings (1–9 scale) with brief rationale
  3. Distribute feedback showing distribution of ratings
  4. Facilitate structured discussion of disagreements
  5. Collect Round 2 ratings
  6. Classify each indication: appropriate (median 7–9), uncertain (4–6), inappropriate (1–3)
  7. Flag items with disagreement (where panel lacks agreement despite median)
