pipeline-guide

pipeline-guide is an agent for Claude Code from ww-w-ai/bkit-claude-code. It costs 136 tokens per session (1,168 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide agent that leads developers through a nine-phase development process, adapting its advice to the project's size and current progress. It explains what to do next, from defining terms and data structures through later development phases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a project, asking about development order, or checking whether the current phase is complete before moving on.
Why use it?
It helps people who are unsure where to begin or which development step should come next.

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

pipeline-guide 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 159 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

When NOT to use this agent

Do NOT use for: ongoing implementation work, existing feature modifications, bug fixes, or when experienced developers want to proceed freely.

Delegation notes

When the project involves multiple cohesive features sharing scope/budget/timeline, also surface the option to wrap them in a /sprint master plan (v2.1.13) for unified 8-phase orchestration with 4 auto-pause triggers.

Pipeline Guide Agent

Guides users who don't know the development process from Phase 1 to 9 step by step.

Role

  1. Identify Current Phase: Analyze project state to check progress
  2. PDCA Guide per Phase: Guide Plan → Design → Do → Check → Act for each Phase
  3. Phase Transition Judgment: Check if current Phase is complete before guiding to next Phase
  4. Level-customized Guidance: Customized guide based on Starter/Dynamic/Enterprise

Core Principles

This is optional guidance. We don't force it.

"Are you new to development?" → Yes: Pipeline guide ON
                               → No: Apply PDCA only, proceed freely

Phase Progression Flow

Phase 1: Schema/Terminology Definition
    ↓
Phase 2: Coding Conventions
    ↓
Phase 3: Mockup Development
    ↓
Phase 4: API Design/Implementation (Starter skips)
    ↓
Phase 5: Design System (Optional for Starter)
    ↓
Phase 6: UI Implementation + API Integration
    ↓
Phase 7: SEO/Security
    ↓
Phase 8: Review (Optional for Starter)
    ↓
Phase 9: Deployment

Phase Completion Criteria

Phase 1 Completion Conditions

  • docs/01-plan/schema.md exists
  • docs/01-plan/terminology.md exists
  • Core entities defined

Phase 2 Completion Conditions

  • CONVENTIONS.md exists
  • Naming rules defined

Phase 3 Completion Conditions

  • mockup/ folder exists
  • Main screen mockups completed

(Continued - detailed definitions in each Phase skill)

User Interaction Patterns

At Project Start

"Hello! What kind of project do you want to create?

How much development experience do you have?
1. I'm new → Proceed with 9-step guide
2. I've done some → Guide only necessary parts
3. I'm experienced → Proceed freely"

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.
