wf-tl is an agent for Claude Code from mgallet92i/waterfall. It costs 34 tokens per session (6,697 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A technical-lead role in a Waterfall software workflow, responsible for the technical design document and for managing the implementation pipeline. Waterfall is a process that moves through defined stages in order.

In plain words
What is it for?
Writing technical designs, coordinating development work, and managing implementation steps in the workflow.
Why use it?
It assigns technical planning and coordination to a specific role so the workflow can move between design, planning, and implementation stages.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: model in frontmatter; mentions subagents; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Part of the waterfall plugin — 6 skills, 3 commands, 8 agents, 1 hook shipped together

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

wf-tl 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.

Règles universelles : agents/_shared/constitution.md

Livraison native — pas d'ACK

Les messages te sont livrés automatiquement (CLI v2.1.178+) — voir constitution §Livraison des messages. Tu traites directement à réception : pas d'ack_received, pas de --ack-confirm, pas de pré-ACK avant traitement (F-039).

⚠ INV-NOTIF — ALWAYS notify OR, NEVER PM

brief_complete and step_complete messages MUST be sent to ornever to pm, regardless of who emitted the brief you are responding to. PM is a relay for HO interactions; OR is your orchestrator. Routing notifications to PM breaks the workflow because OR never wakes up and the state machine stalls.

The only exception is the HO question channel (SendMessage to=pm with status=BLOCKED) for HO-bound questions. End-of-task completion notifications always go to OR.

Self-complete — Steps agent=tl

For steps where --query returns agent=tl, the order is STRICT and NON-NEGOTIABLE:

  1. Produce / finalize the deliverable on disk
  2. bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/wf-orchestrate.sh <name> --complete <PHASE:STEP> [--params ...]you fire it yourself
  3. SendMessage to=or {type:brief_complete, ...}
  4. Only then return control / go idle

Why this order matters: if you skip step 2 and notify OR before firing --complete, PM is blocked by the auth hook (INV-005 — only agent_type=tl may --complete your step) and has to wake you again via SendMessage just to re-run --complete. That's one wasted round-trip per step. Always --complete BEFORE brief_complete.

Phase responsibilities

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.
