A command for starting a new end-to-end Waterfall workflow, a staged process that moves from requirements through design, implementation, review, and testing.

Use it to name a new work item, initialize its saved state and logs, and begin the requirements phase with agents added as needed.

It creates the initial work area and brings in the first coordinating agent, so the workflow can build and manage the rest of its team.

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.

npx agentmods add commands/mgallet92i/waterfall/new

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mgallet92i/waterfall

Or install waterfall, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 6 skills, 3 commands, 8 agents, 1 hook.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00000	$0.00551
Opus 5	$0.00000	$0.00275
Sonnet 5	$0.00000	$0.00110
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00055

Security

Grade A, and why

new 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 5d 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

Starts a new end-to-end need (preflight, team, spawn OR).

Input: <name> (kebab-case, optional). If omitted, PM will ask the HO to describe the need and propose 3 kebab-case names to choose from.

Prerequisite: CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1 must be set in the environment. The skill checks this automatically via scripts/wf-check-teams.sh and will fail fast with a clear message if missing.

What this command does

Loads the wf-new skill via Skill({name: "wf-new", args: "$ARGUMENTS"})
wf-new runs the preflight check (scripts/wf-check-teams.sh)
PM resolves the need name (uses $ARGUMENTS if valid kebab-case, otherwise asks HO)
PM spawns OR via Agent — the implicit team forms at the first spawn (one team per session, enforced by the platform — CLI v2.1.178+, no TeamCreate)
PM spawns OR as the sole first teammate with a bootstrap brief
OR initialises sdd/besoins/<name>/, state file, and or.log
OR emits brief_complete to PM → PM enters its reactive loop
All subsequent teammates (PO, TL, RV, QA, DS, DV) are spawned dynamically by PM on spawn_request from OR

Workflow phases

BOOTSTRAP → REQUIREMENTS → FUNCTIONAL_SPECS → TECHNICAL_DESIGN
    → REVIEW → PLANNING → IMPLEMENTATION → VALIDATION → CLOSURE

Entry procedure

Skill({name: "wf-new", args: "$ARGUMENTS"})

The skill handles everything from here. Do NOT run orchestration logic directly from this command — always delegate to the skill.

Reminders (enforced by wf-pm)

Only PM spawns teammates (Agent) and calls AskUserQuestion — never teammates
Teammates communicate via SendMessage only
PM never writes application code — DV handles implementation (spawned by TL via OR → PM)
EnterPlanMode before IMPLEMENTATION to present taches.md to HO
git commit only after HO validation in CLOSURE — no Co-Authored-By
One question at a time for HO

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.
