dancing-bear: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/workflow/SKILL.md

workflow is a skill for Claude Code from dancing-bear-show/dancing-bear. It costs 30 tokens per session (9,224 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A workflow runner that reads a YAML workflow, builds an execution plan, starts the requested agents, handles approval points, and runs checks. YAML is a text format often used for configuration.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for executing or previewing workflows, passing parameters, choosing a workspace, and resuming work stopped for human approval.
Why use it?
It organizes multi-step agent work and lets users preview a plan before actually running it.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths.

This is dancing-bear-show/dancing-bear's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on dancing-bear itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything dancing-bear configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is ./bin/workflow compile <WORKFLOW_PATH> --format json \.

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 B, and why

workflow scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 yesterday.

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.

Workflow — DAG Execution Engine

Parse a workflow YAML definition, compile it into a parallel execution plan, walk each group by spawning the appropriate agent type, handle human gates, run validation passes, and report results.

When to Use

  • User says "run workflow X", "execute workflow X", or references a file in workflows/
  • User wants to preview a workflow execution plan (--dry-run)
  • User wants to resume a halted workflow from a human gate

Usage

/workflow workflows/test/coverage-report.yaml
/workflow workflows/test/coverage-report.yaml --execute
/workflow workflows/test/coverage-report.yaml --workspace out/my-run
/workflow workflows/test/coverage-improve.yaml --params min_coverage=80

Input Parsing

Extract these arguments from the user's request or skill args:

Argument Required Default Description
--workflow / positional Yes -- Path to YAML file in workflows/
--execute No false Actually run the workflow (default is dry-run/preview)
--workspace No out/{name}-{run_id} Override workspace directory
--params No -- Trigger parameter overrides as key=value pairs

Execution Flow

Step 0: Parse and Compile

Parse --params arguments into a dict. Then compile the workflow, passing every parsed param — one --params flag per pair (--params a=1 b=2 is a usage error):

./bin/workflow compile <WORKFLOW_PATH> --format json \
  [--params key=value] [--params key=value]...

Compile enforces the workflow's trigger.param_rules/required before any substitution. If compile or init-workspace exits non-zero, stop and report; never substitute params into prompts yourself, since the engine's rule check is the boundary.

Always invoke through the ./bin/workflow wrapper. Never use .venv/bin/python bin/workflow. The wrapper re-execs under the repo .venv when one exists and falls back to system Python otherwise. A hardcoded .venv/bin/python fails outright in a git worktree, which never has its own .venv — only the main checkout does, and make targets build it on demand.

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 dancing-bear-show/dancing-bear (7 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 9,224 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks the agent to reveal its instructions). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-11-07.
