WORKFLOW

WORKFLOW is a cursor rule for Cursor from bonnguyenitc/specship. It costs 446 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of project rules for moving a software change through defined stages: writing a specification, planning, coding, and review. It keeps task progress and decisions in files on disk.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for non-trivial coding tasks that need a repeatable workflow, shared task state, debugging, review, pausing, or resuming.
Why use it?
It helps teams keep requirements, acceptance checks, steps, and paused work aligned throughout a change.

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 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.

What it actually says

For any non-trivial change, follow .cursor/skills/WORKFLOW.md and the per-stage playbooks in .cursor/skills/ss-<stage>/SKILL.md (spec → plan → coding → review; debug as needed; ss-ship = autopilot that runs spec → plan → coding → review end-to-end from a feature request; ss-resume-task = re-entry that locates an in-progress/paused task, reports where it stands, and resumes the right stage; ss-pause-task / ss-archive-task = lifecycle skills that shelve a task as paused or move it into tasks/archive/, keeping pipeline state intact).

Rules:

  • Every skill folder is ss--prefixed; the stage:/artifacts: values in task.md are not (spec, plan, coding, review, debug, done).
  • Maintain shared state in tasks/TASK-<ID>/: read task.md first, update it last.
  • Keep IDs stable (R# requirement, AC# acceptance criterion, S# step, BUG#); never renumber. ss-coding ticks S# in plan.md; ss-review ticks AC# in spec.md.
  • Timestamp every log entry as YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM +TZ (get it from date, don't guess).
  • Follow docs/onboarding/how-to-code.md for code style and placement; run ss-explore-source to generate docs/onboarding/* if missing.
  • Only the pipeline stages and lifecycle skills (ss-pause-task/ss-archive-task/ss-resume-task) write to tasks/. Ask the user before advancing stages (under ss-ship, auto-advance instead — stop only on blockers).
  • Don't run git add / commit / push unless asked.

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.

Resume a checkpointed session from the pushed handoff and continue where it left off. Use on "resume", "pick up where I left off", "continue from the handoff", or starting cold on another device — pulls, reads .pause/handoff.md, and keeps going.
