At a glance

Prioritize assumptions by risk and importance. An agent skill from itseffi/agentic-os.

  • Works in 3 steps: Score Each Assumption → Map to Quadrants → Rank by Risk Score
  • Tasks that involve Prioritization frameworks
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, The Framework, The Process and Output, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Assumption Prioritization is an agent skill from itseffi/agentic-os. Prioritize assumptions by risk and importance. Use after assumption mapping to decide what to test first.

Its SKILL.md is about 420 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Prioritization frameworks and Test-driven development. The repository describes itself as: Agentic personal OS to automate high-leverage workflows with Codex, Claude Code, Pi, OpenClaw and other coding agents/ runtime platforms. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Prioritization frameworks
  • Tasks that involve Test-driven development

Example prompts

  • “/assumption-prioritization”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Score Each Assumption
  2. Map to Quadrants
  3. Rank by Risk Score

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e54d0ac. 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

Assumption Prioritization loads about 419 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 201 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~33
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~419

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.

Prioritize assumptions by risk and importance. Use after assumption mapping to decide what to test first.

Assumption Prioritization

Prioritize assumptions to focus validation efforts on what matters most.

When to Use

After assumption mapping, to decide which assumptions to test first.

The Framework

Score each assumption on two dimensions:

Importance (1-5): Business impact if false

  • 5 = Strategy fails, >20% revenue hit
  • 4 = Major adoption/cost driver (10-20%)
  • 3 = Moderate impact (5-10%)
  • 2 = Minor impact (<5%)
  • 1 = Negligible

Certainty (1-5): Evidence that it's true

  • 1 = No evidence, conjecture
  • 2 = Anecdotes, untested
  • 3 = Early signals, small samples
  • 4 = Strong directional data
  • 5 = Robust evidence, production proof

Risk Score = Importance x (6 - Certainty)

Higher score = riskier assumption = test first

The Process

1. Score Each Assumption

Consider:

  • Impact severity from "impact if wrong"
  • Blast radius (users/systems affected)
  • Irreversibility (cost to fix later)
  • Dependencies (does it block others?)
  • Evidence quality
2. Map to Quadrants
Low CertaintyHigh Certainty
High ImportanceTEST FIRSTMonitor
Low ImportanceDeprioritizeIgnore
3. Rank by Risk Score

Focus validation on High Importance / Low Certainty assumptions.

Output

  • 2x2 summary with counts per quadrant
  • Top risks ranked by score with rationale
  • Full ranked list of all assumptions

When Not to Use

Do not use this skill when the request is unrelated, low-stakes, or better handled by a simpler direct response.
