approve

A command that approves the current Design Thinking phase and moves the project to the next phase. Design Thinking is a structured process for understanding users, defining problems, exploring ideas, testing prototypes, and preparing a product brief.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to approve phases such as empathize, define, ideate, prototype, or PRD and advance the session state.
Why use it?
It prevents the workflow from advancing until the current phase is marked ready for approval.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

approve 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Approve the current Design Thinking phase.

Instructions

  1. Read .design-thinking/state.yaml to get the active workspace
  2. Read {workspace}/state.yaml to get the current phase and status
  3. If phase status is not review_pending, report error: "Phase is not ready for approval (current status: {status})"
  4. Update state:
    • phases.{phase}.status: approved
    • Add history entry with timestamp
  5. Advance state:
    • current_phase: {next_phase}
    • phase_step: engage (or synthesize for PRD phase)
    • phases.{next_phase}.status: engaging (or synthesizing for PRD phase)
  6. Report: "Phase {phase} approved. Moving to {next_phase}."
  7. If the approved phase was prd, report: "All phases complete! Your PRD is at {workspace}/prd.md. Use /design-thinking:handoff to prepare for vbounce."

Phase order: empathize → define → ideate → prototype → prd

Changes

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.

approve is a command published in the GitHub repository baodq97/open-plugin (4 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 10 tokens to every session and 256 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
