workflow-level3

A structured workflow for building an intermediate feature, from initial setup and planning through design, implementation, testing, review, and archiving.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for significant new functionality that needs a detailed plan, selected design work, methodical coding, feature-specific tests, reflection, and an archived record.
Why use it?
Features that span several parts of a codebase need more coordination than a quick bug fix. This process breaks the work into stages and makes the decisions and results easier to track.

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

workflow-level3 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.

This is a copy

100% identical to workflow-level3 — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

LEVEL 3 WORKFLOW: INTERMEDIATE FEATURE DEVELOPMENT

TL;DR: This document outlines a structured workflow for Level 3 (Intermediate Feature) tasks. These tasks involve developing significant new functionality that may span multiple components, requiring comprehensive planning, often necessitating targeted creative design phases, followed by systematic implementation, in-depth reflection, and feature-specific archiving. This workflow balances detailed process with efficiency for moderately complex features.

🔍 LEVEL 3 WORKFLOW OVERVIEW

Level 3 tasks represent a significant development effort, building a complete feature. The workflow ensures adequate planning, design for key aspects, and methodical execution.

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.

workflow-level3 is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository alkoleft/mcp-bsl-platform-context (191 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 4,364 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to workflow-level3, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
