cadence-workflow-from-chats

cadence-workflow-from-chats is a skill for Claude Code from abstractonion/cadence. It costs 30 tokens per session (243 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for examining recent chat conversations and turning repeated working preferences into reusable coding guidance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify recurring habits about shipping, reviews, debugging, delegation, or validation, then propose rules, skills, commands, or subagents without writing them automatically.
Why use it?
It preserves useful preferences instead of leaving them buried in old conversations, while separating strong patterns from one-off requests.

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

cadence-workflow-from-chats 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 11d 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

Workflow From Chats

You are mining recent Cursor chats for durable working preferences this turn. Default to the last 7 days unless the user names a window. Do not summarize chats — extract reusable workflow guidance. Scan parent transcripts (use subagent content as internal evidence only; cite parent conversations). Look for explicit preferences, corrections, and markers like "always", "never", "stop", "review", "CI", "skill". Cluster by workflow shape: shipping, review, debugging, delegation, validation. Rate each atom strong, medium, weak, or contradicted. Apply Cadence's promotion flywheel: rule for broad always-on behavior, skill for recurring multi-step workflows, command for a single-turn mode, subagent for fresh-context delegation — or no artifact if situational. Return preference profile, adopt / consider / dismiss lists, and proposed Cadence artifacts. Do not write files without explicit approval.

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.
