workflow-project-intake

workflow-project-intake is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Heyvhuang/ship-faster. It costs 94 tokens per session (2,175 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A requirements-clarification and routing guide for turning an early idea or project request into clear work for the right development process. It keeps decisions and work details in saved files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to refine an idea, record requirements and context, choose a suitable workflow, and pass a concrete input to the next development step.
Why use it?
It helps prevent vague requests from entering implementation before the goal, boundaries, and needed information are clear.

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

workflow-project-intake 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 185 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Project Intake (Brainstorm + Clarify + Route)

Treat Skills as "stateless execution units", externalize all state to the file system.

This skill is positioned as "project entry / requirements clarification":

  • When user only has a vague idea: help them clarify requirements (minimum information set) before entering execution chain
  • When user provides repo / clear objectives: quickly confirm understanding, then enter the correct workflow/step

This skill is not responsible for actual large-scale implementation (that's the job of execution skills like workflow-ship-faster / workflow-feature-shipper). It's responsible for converging "conversation" into "executable input", then handing off control.

Core Principles (Must Follow)

  1. Pass paths only, not content: agents/sub-agents only pass ..._path, let the executor read the file itself.
  2. Files are first-class citizens: Every step must persist artifacts; failures can be retried; replayable; traceable.
  3. Write operations must have checkpoints: Any action with external side effects (delete/modify cloud resources/DB writes/refunds/cancel subscriptions) must write a plan first and wait for explicit user confirmation.
  4. Ask one question at a time: If information is missing, ask follow-ups, but each message asks only 1 question (prefer multiple choice); break complex topics into multiple rounds.
  5. Hooks doctor (required check; non-blocking): If running under Claude Code and you want the evolution loop active, run tool-hooks-doctor once early; if hooks are missing, offer to install project-level hooks (continue either way).

0) Brainstorm Module (Replaces Old Approach)

When user input is still "idea/direction/vague requirement", first use workflow-brainstorm module to refine it into an executable design, then enter Intake Checklist.

workflow-brainstorm module requirements:

  • Check project context first (if repo exists)
  • Ask only 1 question at a time (prefer multiple choice)
  • Provide 2-3 options with trade-offs explained
  • Output design in segments (~200-300 words each), ask "Does this look good?" at the end of each segment

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.
