workflow

workflow is a skill for Claude Code from claude-world/director-mode-lite. It costs 52 tokens per session (990 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A five-step development workflow covering problem definition, minimal implementation, test-first coding, documentation, and a clean Git commit.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a feature or running the project’s full development flow from understanding the problem through committing the finished change.
Why use it?
It helps keep development focused on the actual need and limits extra work that is not required. It also builds testing and documentation into the process.

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 1mo 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.

Development Workflow

A structured approach to software development that emphasizes understanding, minimal implementation, testing, documentation, and clean commits.


Overview

Step 1: Focus Problem    → Understand before coding
Step 2: Prevent Overdev  → Only build what's needed (YAGNI)
Step 3: Test First       → Red-Green-Refactor
Step 4: Document         → Keep it clear and current
Step 5: Smart Commit     → Conventional Commits

Step 1: Focus Problem (/focus-problem)

Goal: Thoroughly understand the problem before writing code.

Checklist

  • What is the user need? (Who / What / Why)
  • What defines success? (How to verify completion?)
  • What are the boundaries? (What NOT to do?)
  • What files/modules are affected?
  • Is there existing similar functionality?

Use Explore Agent

(Use the active provider's native dispatcher; Claude pseudo-code is shown below.)

Before dispatch, preserve the bounded exploration request and expected result. If Claude's Agent tool is unavailable or withheld, or Codex's spawn_agent interface is unavailable or withheld, the maximum depth is reached, or a concurrency limit rejects the call, do not retry or substitute assumptions. Return an incomplete dispatch_request and do not advance the workflow.

Choose exactly one provider-native form:

  • Claude Code: Agent(subagent_type="Explore", model="haiku", prompt="<bounded prompt>")
  • Codex CLI: spawn_agent(agent_type="explorer", task_name="workflow_explore", message="<bounded prompt>")
Agent(subagent_type="Explore", model="haiku", prompt="""
Explore the codebase for: [feature name] (thoroughness: medium)
Find related files, similar implementations, and test patterns.
""")

In Codex, send the same exploration request through spawn_agent(...); do not invoke the Claude example as a second dispatch.


Step 2: Prevent Overdev

Goal: Ensure minimal viable implementation (YAGNI principle).

Red Flags

"We might need this later..." → Don't build it now
"Just in case..." → YAGNI
"Let's make it generic..." → Solve current problem only
"We should create a framework..." → Write concrete implementation

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 claude-world/director-mode-lite (80 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 990 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
