ce-work

ce-work is a skill for Claude Code from elleryfamilia/loadout. It costs 40 tokens per session (6,689 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for carrying out a written plan, specification, or clear work request from start to finish. It checks what kind of input it received and follows the project's existing patterns while implementing the work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to implement planned software changes, build features from a specification, or complete a concrete coding request.
Why use it?
It turns a broad request into a systematic implementation process, reducing missed requirements and unfinished features.

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

ce-work 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.

Work Execution Command

Execute work efficiently while maintaining quality and finishing features.

Introduction

This command takes a work document (plan or specification) or a bare prompt describing the work, and executes it systematically. The focus is on shipping complete features by understanding requirements quickly, following existing patterns, and maintaining quality throughout.

Input Document

<input_document> #$ARGUMENTS </input_document>

Execution Workflow

Phase 0: Input Triage

Determine how to proceed based on what was provided in <input_document>.

Plan document (input is a file path to an existing plan or specification): read the plan's metadata first — YAML frontmatter for a markdown plan, or the visible header text for an HTML plan (both formats carry the same fields). If it carries execution: knowledge-work, this is a non-code plan — read references/non-code-execution.md and follow that carve-out instead of the rest of this workflow. Otherwise (the field is absent or execution: code) → skip to Phase 1 and run the normal code lifecycle. (The marker check lives here, inside plan-document handling, because detecting the marker requires already having a file; "Bare prompt" below is unaffected.)

Bare prompt (input is a description of work, not a file path):

  1. Scan the work area

    • Identify files likely to change based on the prompt
    • Find existing test files for those areas (search for test/spec files that import, reference, or share names with the implementation files)
    • Note local patterns and conventions in the affected areas
  2. Assess complexity and route

    Complexity Signals Action
    Trivial 1-2 files, no behavioral change (typo, config, rename) Proceed to Phase 1 step 2 (environment setup), then implement directly — no task list, no execution loop. Apply Test Discovery if the change touches behavior-bearing code
    Small / Medium Clear scope, under ~10 files Build a task list from discovery. Proceed to Phase 1 step 2
    Large Cross-cutting, architectural decisions, 10+ files, touches auth/payments/migrations Inform the user this would benefit from /ce-brainstorm or /ce-plan to surface edge cases and scope boundaries. Honor their choice. If proceeding, build a task list and continue to Phase 1 step 2

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.
