lfg

lfg is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gvkhosla/compound-engineering-pi. It costs 7 tokens per session (466 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An autonomous software-engineering workflow that plans work, optionally expands the plan for risky areas, and then carries out the implementation process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for larger engineering tasks that need structured planning, risk review, implementation, and verification.
Why use it?
It provides a required sequence for planning and checking work before coding begins, including a written plan for reference.

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

lfg 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 5d 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

CRITICAL: You MUST execute every step below IN ORDER. Do NOT skip any required step. Do NOT jump ahead to coding or implementation. The plan phase (step 2, and step 3 when warranted) MUST be completed and verified BEFORE any work begins. Violating this order produces bad output.

  1. Optional: If the ralph-loop skill is available, run /ralph-loop:ralph-loop "finish all slash commands" --completion-promise "DONE". If not available or it fails, skip and continue to step 2 immediately.

  2. /ce:plan $ARGUMENTS

    GATE: STOP. Verify that the ce:plan workflow produced a plan file in docs/plans/. If no plan file was created, run /ce:plan $ARGUMENTS again. Do NOT proceed to step 3 until a written plan exists.

  3. Conditionally run /compound-engineering:deepen-plan

    Run the deepen-plan workflow only if the plan is Standard or Deep, touches a high-risk area (auth, security, payments, migrations, external APIs, significant rollout concerns), or still has obvious confidence gaps in decisions, sequencing, system-wide impact, risks, or verification.

    GATE: STOP. If you ran the deepen-plan workflow, confirm the plan was deepened or explicitly judged sufficiently grounded. If you skipped it, briefly note why and proceed to step 4.

  4. /ce:work

    GATE: STOP. Verify that implementation work was performed - files were created or modified beyond the plan. Do NOT proceed to step 5 if no code changes were made.

  5. /ce:review

  6. /compound-engineering:resolve-todo-parallel

  7. /compound-engineering:test-browser

  8. /compound-engineering:feature-video

  9. Output <promise>DONE</promise> when video is in PR

Start with step 2 now (or step 1 if ralph-loop is available). Remember: plan FIRST, then work. Never skip the plan.

Changes

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.

lfg is a skill published in the GitHub repository gvkhosla/compound-engineering-pi (51 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 7 tokens to every session and 466 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
