RICE prioritization scoring initiatives by Reach, Impact, Confidence, and Effort.

  • Works in 3 steps: [Highest score] — RICE: X → [Second] — RICE: X → [Third] — RICE: X
  • Feature prioritization
  • SKILL.md covers Instructions and Scoring Guide
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Rice is an agent skill from neurofoo/agent-skills. RICE prioritization scoring initiatives by Reach, Impact, Confidence, and Effort. Use for feature prioritization, roadmap planning, or when comparing initiatives objectively.

Its SKILL.md is about 590 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Prioritization frameworks and Product roadmapping. The repository describes itself as: Agent Skills for Claude Code and OpenCode. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Feature prioritization
  • Roadmap planning
  • Comparing initiatives objectively

Example prompts

  • “/rice”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. [Highest score] — RICE: X
  2. [Second] — RICE: X
  3. [Third] — RICE: X

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0e7ac2a. 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

Rice loads about 591 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 241 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~591

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.

RICE Prioritization Scoring

Score and rank initiatives using Reach, Impact, Confidence, and Effort to make prioritization decisions more objective.

Instructions

For each initiative, estimate the four RICE factors, calculate the score, and rank them. Be explicit about assumptions behind each estimate.

Output Format

Context What are we prioritizing? What's the time horizon for Reach?

Factor Definitions

  • Reach: [Define for this context, e.g., "users affected per quarter"]
  • Impact: [Define for this context, e.g., "effect on conversion rate"]
  • Effort: [Define unit, e.g., "engineer-weeks"]

Scoring Table

InitiativeReachImpactConfidenceEffortRICE Score
[Name A][#][0.25-3][%][#][calculated]
[Name B][#][0.25-3][%][#][calculated]
[Name C][#][0.25-3][%][#][calculated]

Ranked Results

  1. [Highest score] — RICE: X
  2. [Second] — RICE: X
  3. [Third] — RICE: X

Detailed Breakdown

For each initiative:

[Initiative Name]
  • Reach: [X] — [Assumption: how did you estimate this?]
  • Impact: [X] — [Reasoning for impact level]
  • Confidence: [X%] — [What would increase confidence?]
  • Effort: [X] — [What's included in this estimate?]
  • RICE Score: (R × I × C) / E = [score]

Sensitivity Analysis Which scores would change significantly if assumptions are wrong?

Recommendation Based on the scores and analysis:

[What to prioritize and why, including any caveats]

What RICE Doesn't Capture

  • Strategic alignment
  • Dependencies
  • Team capability gaps
  • Technical risk
