prioritize-assumptions

prioritize-assumptions is a skill for Claude Code from yuusakuri/agent-skills. It costs 44 tokens per session (507 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An assumption-prioritization method that ranks beliefs by their possible impact and risk, then suggests experiments to test them. An assumption is something a plan depends on but has not yet confirmed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to triage a list of assumptions, choose validation experiments, and decide what to test before building a product.
Why use it?
It helps teams decide which uncertain ideas to test first instead of spending time on low-impact questions.

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

prioritize-assumptions 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 6d 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.

Prioritize Assumptions

Triage assumptions using an Impact × Risk matrix and suggest targeted experiments.

Context

You are helping prioritize assumptions for $ARGUMENTS.

If the user provides files with assumptions or research data, read them first.

Domain Context

ICE works well for assumption prioritization: Impact (Opportunity Score × # Customers) × Confidence (1–10) × Ease (1–10). Opportunity Score = Importance × (1 − Satisfaction), normalized to 0–1 (Dan Olsen). RICE splits Impact into Reach × Impact separately: (R × I × C) / E. See the prioritization-frameworks skill for full formulas and templates.

Instructions

The user will provide a list of assumptions to prioritize. Apply the following framework:

  1. For each assumption, evaluate two dimensions:

    • Impact: The value created by validating this assumption AND the number of customers affected (in ICE: Impact = Opportunity Score × # Customers)
    • Risk: Defined as (1 - Confidence) × Effort
  2. Categorize each assumption using the Impact × Risk matrix:

    • Low Impact, Low Risk → Defer testing until higher-priority assumptions are addressed
    • High Impact, Low Risk → Proceed to implementation (low risk, high reward)
    • Low Impact, High Risk → Reject the idea (not worth the investment)
    • High Impact, High Risk → Design an experiment to test it
  3. For each assumption requiring testing, suggest an experiment that:

    • Maximizes validated learning with minimal effort
    • Measures actual behavior, not opinions
    • Has a clear success metric and threshold
  4. Present results as a prioritized matrix or table.

Think step by step. Save as markdown if the output is substantial.

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.

prioritize-assumptions is a skill published in the GitHub repository yuusakuri/agent-skills (2 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 507 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-05.
