work-pipeline

work-pipeline is a skill for Claude Code from davepoon/buildwithclaude. It costs 52 tokens per session (508 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A work pipeline triggered by messages that begin with a tag in square brackets, such as [bugfix] or [new-feature]. It coordinates separate steps for specifying, planning, building, checking, and committing work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to route feature or bug requests through requirement writing, execution planning, implementation, verification, and commit preparation.
Why use it?
It gives tagged requests a repeatable path and makes the user review the written specification before implementation continues.

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

work-pipeline 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 3d 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

WORK-PIPELINE Trigger

When the user's message starts with a [] tag, start the WORK-PIPELINE by reading ../skills/sdd-pipeline/references/agent-flow.md and following the orchestration flow.

Trigger Detection

Any message starting with [...] triggers this pipeline:

  • [new-feature], [enhancement], [bugfix], [new-work], [WORK start]
  • Or any custom tag in square brackets

References Directory (CRITICAL)

When this skill is triggered, Claude Code provides the "Base directory for this skill" as an absolute path. Derive the REFERENCES_DIR from it:

REFERENCES_DIR = {Base directory}/../sdd-pipeline/references

You MUST pass this absolute path to every sub-agent invocation (specifier, planner, scheduler, builder, verifier, committer). Include it at the top of the prompt text:

REFERENCES_DIR={absolute_path}

Sub-agents need this path to read their reference files. Without it, they cannot find the files and will loop.

Pipeline Flow

  1. Call specifier agent — analyzes the requirement, creates works/WORK-NN/Requirement.md, determines execution-mode (direct/pipeline/full)
  2. ⛔ STOP — Present the specifier's output summary to the user and WAIT for explicit approval. Do NOT call the next agent until the user approves. Show what was created (Requirement.md, PLAN.md if direct mode, TASK files) and ask "Proceed?"
  3. Follow the execution-mode returned by specifier:
    • direct: call builder → committer
    • pipeline: call builder → verifier → committer in sequence
    • full: call planner → ⛔ STOP for 2nd approval → scheduler → [builder → verifier → committer] × N

Auto Mode

If the user's message ends with "auto" or "자동으로", skip ALL approval steps and execute the entire pipeline automatically. This is the ONLY case where approval gates can be skipped.

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.
