pour

A workflow launcher that turns a predefined recipe into linked Beads issues. Beads is an issue-tracking system for managing work and dependencies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start internal projects, client engagements, or Braynee plugin releases through the available workflow formulas.
Why use it?
It creates the tasks and their order in one guided operation, reducing manual issue setup.

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

pour 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 2d 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.

Pour — beads workflow formula launcher

Formulas are recipes for multi-step work. bd mol pour <formula> creates the whole molecule of linked, gated beads issues in one shot — no manual bd create / bd dep add sequence.

This skill is the friendly menu in front of that command. It picks the formula, collects the vars via AskUserQuestion, dry-runs first to confirm, then pours for real.

Available formulas (canonical)

Always re-list with bd formula list before showing the user — formulas can be added or removed.

Formula Use when
project Your own work. Internal projects, no client coordination. 4 steps: scope → build → qa → ship.
engagement Paid client work. 7 steps: discovery → scope → build → qa → review → ship → handoff. Two human gates (discovery, review).
braynee-release Shipping a new braynee plugin version. 4 steps: selftest → sandbox → deploy-cache → bump. No PR.

Workflow

1. Pick a formula

  • If the user passed an argument (/braynee:pour engagement), use that.
  • Otherwise call bd formula list to show the live list, then use AskUserQuestion to ask which one.

2. Show what it does, then collect vars

  • Run bd formula show <name> so the user can see the steps and vars before they commit.
  • Use AskUserQuestion to collect each required var. Mark optional vars as such — let the user skip them.

Required vars per formula (verify with bd formula show — this is a quick reference, the formula files are authoritative):

Formula Required Optional
project name, deliverable
engagement client, deliverable reference
braynee-release version (semver X.Y.Z)

3. Dry-run first

ALWAYS dry-run before pouring for real:

bd mol pour <formula> --var key="value" ... --dry-run

Show the list of issues that would be created. Ask the user to confirm before re-running without --dry-run.

4. Pour for real

On confirmation, drop --dry-run:

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.

pour is a skill published in the GitHub repository hamchowderr/braynee (2 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 96 tokens to every session and 1,039 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-31.
