workflow

workflow is a cursor rule for Cursor from hlalljie/agent-workflow-presets. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,587 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Rules for managing project plans, tasks, decisions, and open questions, including where these files belong and how they should be updated.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when editing project-management files and tracking unresolved questions, research, decisions, and implementation tasks.
Why use it?
They prevent planning records from becoming inconsistent, such as by reusing question numbers or losing the history of decisions.

Getting it into your agent

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 7d 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 — 76 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Open questions

Each plan folder has its own open-questions.md. Numbers are scoped to that file (each file starts at 1). Numbers are permanent within their file — never renumber, never reuse.

Format: - [ ] N. Short description. Context/links inline.

Adding: pick next unused number in that file. One line with - [ ]. If it needs research, create a research doc and link it.

Resolving: check the box (- [x]). Record in that plan's decisions.md. Update the plan to reflect the decision — remove blocker references, update any sections that were pending this answer. Removing lines from this file after resolution is handled by the /commit flow (commit skill, "After committing") — not here.

Questions can be "parked" or "future" inline if not blocking anything now.

Reference from other docs within the same plan: "blocked by open question 2." Cross-plan references: "blocked by project open question 2" or "blocked by meta open question 6."

Research docs

Research is standalone. It does not contain status markers, links to open questions, or links to plans. Other docs link to research; research links to nothing upstream.

Executing tasks

Normative scope for how many tasks to touch lives in task-scope.mdc (alwaysApply: true). This section is the plan-format companion.

  • One task at a time. Complete it and stop for verification before starting the next. Commits only via the commit skill, with owner approval (git-safety.mdc).
  • Batch: only when task-scope.mdc allows it (explicit multiple task numbers in one message, or batchable: true on the task file's first line and the user asked to batch in that message).
  • When delegating to subagents: the prompt must enforce this cadence. Tell the agent to do one task and return, without committing. Do not tell it to "implement all tasks."
  • Subagent models follow agent-models.mdc.

When a task completes

  1. Check task box.
  2. If it resolves an open question: check that box too, update decisions.
  3. If it changes plan scope: update the plan.
  4. Otherwise just check and move on.

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.
