yoke-workflow

yoke-workflow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from HECer/yoke. It costs 37 tokens per session (451 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for Yoke, a tool that plans and carries out software features from smaller work items called stories. It guides decisions, records the agreed plan, and can run approved stories automatically.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a project, create a plan, turn it into testable stories, approve the work, and run the stories in batches until they are finished or blocked.
Why use it?
It prevents implementation from starting before the scope and important choices are agreed. It also reduces routine interruptions while work is being carried out.

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

yoke-workflow 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

Yoke Workflow

Provide the same interaction contract in Claude, Codex, and Gemini.

  1. Read .yoke/config.yaml. If it is missing, offer yoke setup . --host=<current-agent> and run the setup flow before planning.
  2. Plan before starting the loop. Inspect the project, then ask one focused question at a time only where the answer changes product behavior, scope, architecture, security, data ownership, external cost, or an irreversible choice. Include a recommended answer. Resolve routine implementation details yourself.
  3. Summarize the agreed design in .yoke/plan.md, including goals, non-goals, constraints, and decisions. Use the authoring-prd skill to turn it into small stories with testable acceptance criteria. Run yoke prd check ..
  4. Ask once for approval of the complete plan and story set. Do not begin implementation before that approval.
  5. If loop.enabled is true, run the stories without routine follow-up questions using the configured runner. Prefer yoke loop run . --max=5 --isolate, report status after each batch, and continue until complete or genuinely blocked.
  6. Respect loop.decisionPolicy:
    • auto: choose the most suitable option from the plan, current code, and established conventions. Record the interpretation and continue.
    • critical: routine ambiguity is still resolved automatically. If the loop reports a pending critical decision, run yoke loop decision ., present its options and recommendation to the user, ask exactly that question, then run yoke loop answer . --choice=<id> --rationale="<answer>". The answer command records the decision and resumes the same story.
  7. Never ask whether to run tests, review, commit, or continue to the next approved story. Those are part of the approved workflow.

The user's configured commit identity is authoritative. Do not add an AI co-author unless commit.allowCoAuthors explicitly permits it.

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.

yoke-workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository HECer/yoke (2 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 451 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
