adding-a-pipeline-step

adding-a-pipeline-step is a skill for Claude Code from gustavo-meilus/superpipelines. It costs 24 tokens per session (964 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for adding a new step, capability, or agent to an existing named Superpipelines workflow. It designs the insertion, stages files, checks dependencies, audits the change, and registers it after approval.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to insert a step before, after, alongside, or at the end of a pipeline and validate the resulting topology.
Why use it?
It helps prevent a new step from breaking the workflow's order, inputs, outputs, or existing connections.

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

adding-a-pipeline-step 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 10d 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.

Adding a Pipeline Step — Mutation Workflow

Workflow Phases

PHASE 1: INSERTION DESIGN

  • Identify the insertion point (Before/After/Parallel/Append) and affected neighbors.
  • Apply the 4D Method to define the new step's intent, inputs, and outputs.
  • Determine the component type: Skill-only, Skill + Agent, or Reuse Existing.

PHASE 2: ARCHITECTED STAGING

  • Dispatch pipeline-architect in STEP-ADD mode to generate new artifacts.
  • All new artifacts MUST be written to {ROOT}/superpipelines/temp/{P}/edit-{ts}/ for staging. NEVER write directly to production paths during design.

PHASE 3: TOPOLOGY VALIDATION

  • Verify the staged topology.json for:
    • Unique Step ID.
    • Valid depends_on references.
    • Schema compatibility between predecessor outputs and new step inputs.
  • Failures: Return to the Architect with specific error logs.

PHASE 4: DELTA AUDIT

  • Dispatch pipeline-auditor in DELTA mode on all staged files (components, topology, and entry skill).
  • If the audit returns SEV-0 or SEV-1 findings, remediate and re-audit. Do NOT proceed to promotion until the delta is clear.

PHASE 5: PROMOTION & REGISTRATION

  • Present the updated topology and audit results for human approval (AskUserQuestion).
  • Upon APPROVE, move staged files to their final absolute paths in agents, skills, and pipeline directories.
  • Update the registry.json lists to include new components.
  • Version Stamp: Update plugin_version in topology.json, the registry entry, and the new agent's frontmatter to the current superpipelines version.

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.
