work

work is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from emdash-cms/emdash. It costs 31 tokens per session (511 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for delivering one maintainer-approved repository issue, using a bug-fix path for defects and a direct implementation path for enhancements or tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to reproduce bugs, add regression tests, make focused fixes, implement approved work, and report verification evidence.
Why use it?
It prevents unapproved or poorly verified changes and requires evidence before a bug is marked fixed.

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 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 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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 38 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Work on an approved issue

A maintainer approved this issue for delivery. Classify the requested work before editing, then use the matching path below. The work command replaces the old choice between fix and implement; the issue type determines the method and result fields.

Bug path

For a reported defect:

  1. Reproduce the reported behavior with the smallest meaningful failing test or browser journey.
  2. Diagnose the defect in the current source and verify that the proposed behavior is correct.
  3. Add the regression test before the fix, implement the smallest backwards-compatible correction, and rerun the focused test.
  4. Set fixed: true only after publish_candidate succeeds. Report the reproduction and verification evidence.

If reporter-only information prevents a reproduction attempt, report verdict: "unclear" and ask for that specific information. If the behavior is intended or the fix needs a product, security, migration, or breaking-change decision, do not edit. Report the evidence and decision needed.

Enhancement or task path

For approved new behavior, documentation, maintenance, or another directed task:

  1. Treat the issue and maintainer directive as the specification. Resolve details from existing APIs and conventions without inventing a bug verdict.
  2. Implement the smallest complete change and add focused behavior coverage through existing test infrastructure.
  3. Run the affected checks and publish the candidate even if a relevant check still fails after a reasonable repair attempt.
  4. Set implemented: true only after publish_candidate succeeds. Report the observable change and exact verification results.

Shared constraints

  • Read AGENTS.md and the relevant implementation and tests before editing.
  • Use edit_file or write_file for direct edits. Use exec for local Git operations, generators, formatters, tests, builds, and conflict resolution; shell writes are checkpointed into the durable workspace.
  • Do not edit .github/workflows, push from the execution container, or perform unrelated cleanup.
  • Add a changeset when a published package changes. Keep user-facing documentation useful to someone adopting the change.
  • Use fixed for a bug or implemented for an enhancement/task. Never set both.
  • Run one final focused verification pass after the last edit, then call publish_candidate and report_result exactly once.

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.
