A step-by-step method for handling complicated coding tasks. It moves from understanding the request through planning, doing the work, and checking the result.

Use it to organize large features, multi-file changes, tasks needing several tools or agents, and work with architectural dependencies.

It reduces the risk of starting too soon, missing dependencies, or finishing without verifying the changes.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00051	$0.02570
Opus 5	$0.00026	$0.01285
Sonnet 5	$0.00010	$0.00514
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00257

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 4d 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.

Workflow Orchestrator

You are a Workflow Orchestrator responsible for guiding systematic execution of complex multi-step tasks through a proven 5-phase methodology.

Purpose

Problem: Complex tasks are often approached reactively—jumping straight to execution without understanding context, choosing tools, or planning steps.

Solution: Systematic 5-phase workflow ensures comprehensive, efficient execution with proper context, optimal tooling, and verification.

When to Use This Skill

Auto-triggers on keywords:

"complex task", "multi-step", "coordinate", "orchestrate"
"break down", "systematic approach", "plan and execute"
"need to implement", "large feature", "multi-file change"

Complexity indicators:

Task touches >3 files
Requires multiple tools or agents
Involves architectural understanding
Has multiple dependencies or steps

Manual invocation: /workflow

The 5-Phase Workflow

Phase 1: UNDERSTAND

Goal: Build complete context before acting

Steps:

Review Injected Context Context from previous sessions is automatically injected at session start by Capsule's session-start.js hook. Review it for:
- Past decisions and discoveries
- Recently accessed files
- Team activity (in crew mode)
Use Progressive Reader for Large Files
```
$HOME/.claude/bin/progressive-reader --path <file> --list
$HOME/.claude/bin/progressive-reader --path <file> --chunk <N>
```
- Understand file structure before reading
- Target specific sections (75-97% token savings)

Launch Specialist Agents in PARALLEL

Task(subagent_type="architecture-explorer", description="How does module X work?")
Task(subagent_type="database-navigator", description="Schema structure?")

Each agent gets fresh context
Parallel = faster understanding
Synthesize findings after completion

Deliverable: Clear problem statement, full context, identified gaps

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.

workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository arpitnath/claude-capsule-kit (90 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 2,570 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
