What is magi-workflow CLAUDE.md?

Project instructions for MAGI, a multi-command workflow for planning and reviewing software changes. They describe commands, helper agents, project states, document rules, and commits.

Use them when working with MAGI commands, checking project state, reviewing plans, validating specification changes, or creating commits.

They give coding agents a shared way to understand the project and follow its required process.

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 5.1	$0.00626	$0.00626
Opus 5.5	$0.00250	$0.00250
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00125	$0.00125
Haiku 4.5	$0.00063	$0.00063

Security

Grade A, and why

magi-workflow CLAUDE.md 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 2mo 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 — 44 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

What this is

Multi-CLI MAGI orchestration plugin for code/plan review. → SPEC.md

Slash commands

Per-command contract in skills/<name>/SKILL.md. → SPEC.md §Slash commands

Subagents

→ agents/developer.md, agents/reviewer.md

Project state model

8 filesystem-derived states; SSOT is scripts/shared/detect-state.sh. → SPEC.md §Project state model

Project document tiers

→ SPEC.md §Project document tiers

Spec deltas

PLAN/SPEC carry a ## Spec deltas section declaring expected modifications to root SPEC.md / CLAUDE.md / magi/PRD.md / magi/TECHSTACK.md. Evaluated by /magi:review-plan; verified by /magi:commit §2.5 (D1/D2/D3). → SPEC.md §Spec deltas

Commits

/magi:commit is the single in-project commit path (sprint + standalone). Independent of ~/.claude/skills/commit/.
Before any commit, check whether .claude-plugin/plugin.json needs a bump per SPEC.md §Plugin versioning. Bump goes in the same commit.
- When bumping, also update the version badge in README.md (line near shields.io/badge/version-vX.Y.Z) in the same commit.

Run / test

./scripts/shared/preflight.sh    # CLI healthcheck
./test/e2e-smoke.sh              # real CLI smoke test
./test/e2e-fallback.sh           # mock-adapter fallback test

Conventions

Bash 3.2 compatible (no mapfile, readarray, declare -A, ${var^^})
set -uo pipefail on every script; avoid set -e; init arrays with arr=()
jq for JSON; no setsid (Linux-only); prefer gtimeout over timeout
Shellcheck-friendly (# shellcheck source= annotations)
File naming: project SSOT docs uppercase (PLAN.md, SPEC.md, TASKS.md, WORKS.md, DRIFT.md, PRD.md, TECHSTACK.md, BACKLOG.md); plugin internals kebab-case
Language: English for CLAUDE.md, SPEC.md, references/, skills/**/SKILL.md, agents/*.md; zh-TW for README.md and user-facing prompts; English for code comments

Lessons

When magi misbehaves in a real session and we have to re-correct Claude's shortcut, add a one-line entry to references/LESSONS.md under the relevant skill section. Empirical incidents only — no theoretical "what if" entries.

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.
