What it does
Commitment Ladder Design is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Use when designing or auditing onboarding, activation flows, habit loops, pledges, public commitments, progressive profiling, retention programs, behavior-change plans, pricing flows, or lowball-risk funnels where consistency pressure may shape user decisions.
Its SKILL.md is about 630 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 14 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `evals/evals.json` and `guidelines.md`).
The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Auditing onboarding
- Activation flows
- Public commitments
- Progressive profiling
Example prompts
- “/commitment-ladder-design”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read guidelines.md to choose the smallest useful reference set.
- Load references/commitment/knowledge.md for concepts and references/commitment/rules.md for operating rules.
- Use workflows/build-commitment-ladder.md for repeatable tasks.
- For audits, surface both the active influence cue and the ethical rewrite.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 16b4156. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Commitment Ladder Design loads about 630 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 246 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Commitment Ladder Design
Design commitments that help users act on real intent, not commitments that trap them into defending a decision. The consistency drive is useful when it supports identity-aligned action and risky when it hides changing terms.
Quick Start
- Read
guidelines.mdto choose the smallest useful reference set. - Load
references/commitment/knowledge.mdfor concepts andreferences/commitment/rules.mdfor operating rules. - Use
workflows/build-commitment-ladder.mdfor repeatable tasks. - For audits, surface both the active influence cue and the ethical rewrite.
Contents
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
| references/commitment/knowledge.md | Core concepts and source-grounded definitions |
| references/commitment/rules.md | Rules, boundaries, and practical guidelines |
| references/commitment/examples.md | Bad/better examples for applied situations |
| references/commitment/smells.md | Red flags and anti-patterns to detect |
| references/commitment/checklist.md | Fast review checklist |
| workflows/build-commitment-ladder.md | Create a sequence of small, authentic commitments that lead toward a meaningful user goal. |
Operating Principles
- Use only honest evidence. Do not invent popularity, scarcity, credentials, endorsements, or social connection.
- Separate helping a good decision from pushing a shortcut response. If the cue is counterfeit, treat it as a red flag.
- When rewriting, preserve user agency: add context, alternatives, and enough time to decide when stakes are meaningful.
Output Pattern
- Diagnosis - name the influence principle or cue.
- Evidence Check - state what proof supports or is missing from the cue.
- Risk - explain manipulation, trust, or decision-quality risk.
- Rewrite or Recommendation - provide an ethical alternative.
Validation
Use the prompts in evals/evals.json as smoke tests. A good result identifies the relevant Influence principle, preserves user agency, and avoids fabricated evidence or coercive pressure.
