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.

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

engineering-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 today.

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

Skill: engineering-workflow

Resolve supporting resource paths relative to .agents/core/skills/engineering-workflow. Read examples and references only when needed.

engineering-workflow

Overview

Define the outcome, plan substantial changes, implement, verify, review, and report. Existing user authorization carries forward.

When to Use

Implementation, debugging, reviews, and release preparation. Routine maintenance and diagnostics use targeted checks.

Rules & Patterns

Establish acceptance criteria for substantial or ambiguous work. Ask only for missing decisions affecting scope, safety, or external actions. An implementation request authorizes ordinary reversible work. Inspect affected code and callers, preserve unrelated changes, and verify behavior before reporting completion. Roles are optional.

Read references/workflow.md for procedures when needed.

Code Examples

A README typo needs a small edit and formatting check. An authorization fix needs an allowed-user case and a denied-user regression.

Validation Checklist

  • The requested outcome and applicable failure cases are checked.
  • Evidence names commands, results, scope, and limitations.
  • Unrelated changes and existing authorization are preserved.

Common Mistakes

Repeated approval after authorization; full ceremonies for routine edits; treating headings, role labels, or schema checks as behavioral proof.

Integration Notes

Use security for sensitive boundaries, ponytail-mindset for implementation complexity, and context-os for compiler/configuration work. gstack-roles is a compatibility alias.

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.
