Rice Scoring
RICE scoring methodology as an agent-guided framework. Accepts items, conducts structured interviews to derive Reach, Impact, Confidence, and Effort values, produces ranked versioned scorecards.
Configurable scales via globalArguments allow teams to anchor scoring in their own context.
2026.08.28.1
Changed: Normalized the extension license to Apache-2.0 and corrected the copyright holder to "Sean Escriva". Extensions that previously shipped an MIT LICENSE.md are now Apache-2.0, consistent with the repository root and every other extension. No code or behavioral changes.
Upgrade note: License text only. No API, schema, or runtime behavior changed.
2026.08.26.3
Fixed: Restored inline npm:zod@4.4.3 import specifiers so the registry
quality scorer can resolve dependencies and score the extension. An earlier
release used a bare "zod" import-map specifier, which published but scored as
unscored.
Changed: Retained explicit compilerOptions.strict in deno.json. No
behavioral or schema changes.
Global Arguments
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| reachDefinition | string | What 'reach' means for this team — e.g. users per quarter, requests per month, teams affected |
| reachScale | string | Anchor points for reach scoring so values are consistent across scorers |
| impactScale | string | Impact multiplier scale — how much this moves the needle per user reached |
| effortUnit | string | Unit for effort estimation — person-days, person-weeks, story points, etc. |
| confidenceGuidance | string | Guide for setting confidence — what evidence corresponds to each level |
| scoringContext | string | Optional team/product context to anchor relative comparisons |
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| items | array | Items to score with their RICE dimension values |

2026.08.26.1
Fixed: Added missing description field to upgrade entry for version
2026.08.24.2. The omission caused swamp extension pull to fail with a catalog
validation error ("upgrades.N.description: Invalid input: expected string,
received undefined").
2026.08.24.3
Added: Output metadata attributes for observability.
durationMs: Method execution duration in milliseconds.collectedBy: Extension name that produced the data.fetchedAt: ISO 8601 timestamp when data was fetched (added to resources that previously lacked it).
2026.08.24.2
Added Troubleshooting section documenting the rank prerequisite, stored schema validation, and informational-only global args.
2026.08.21.1
Changed: Added .describe() to the name and description fields on
the scored-item resource schema, matching the descriptions already present
on the corresponding score method argument fields. No behavioral change.
2026.07.18.1
Added: An upgrades array entry (no-op) to mod.ts for proper typeVersion tracking on existing instances. No schema or behavior changes.
