workflow

A workflow tracker for multi-step software projects. It shows the current phase, progress, unfinished work, and the next phase, and can update the workflow state.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to show status, advance, skip, expand, switch, or complete a development workflow through commands or plain-language questions.
Why use it?
It removes the need to remember which project stage is active or how to move between stages.

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 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.

Workflow Skill

Manage active multi-phase development workflows using native Claude Code tasks. This skill covers core behavior — routing, status display (including phase-specific guidance), phase transitions, spec doc sync, and acceptance criteria verification. For implementation details (sub-task creation, dependency analysis, pivot handling), see ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/commands/workflow.md.

Routing

Route based on user intent:

Input Action
/workflow or "show my workflow" Show current phase and progress
/workflow next or "next phase" Advance to next phase
/workflow skip or "skip phase" Skip current phase
/workflow done or "workflow done" Mark workflow complete
/workflow switch or "switch workflow" Switch between active workflows
/workflow expand Create sub-tasks from phase items
Natural-language status queries (e.g., "where am I", "what should I do next") Show current phase and progress (same as /workflow)

Execution

1. Find Current Workflow

CALL TaskList to find tasks with [claude-evolve] prefix.

  • One found: Use as current workflow
  • Multiple found: List them and let user pick, or suggest /workflow switch
  • None found: Show fallback (see Error Handling)

2. Show Status

CALL TaskGet(id) to read task details and metadata.

Read metadata fields: depth, phase, phases_done, phases_skipped, has_phase_tasks, spec_file.

If depth is execute (no phases):

[claude-evolve] Workflow: {subject}
Status: In progress (execute — no phases)
{Task description summary}
Commands: done

Otherwise (depths with phases — design, explore, plan, check):

[claude-evolve] Workflow: {subject}
Phase: {current} | Progress: requirements [OK] -> design [OK] -> implement <- testing
{Phase-specific guidance — see table below}
Commands: next | skip | done

Phase-specific guidance:

Phase Guidance
requirements Gathering requirements. Ask clarifying questions.
design Planning approach. Consider architecture and patterns.
implement Building the feature. Write code, run tests.
testing Verifying quality. Test edge cases, review code.
verify Quick sanity check. Confirm basics work.
research Investigating options. Explore approaches.
prototype Building proof of concept. Quick and dirty is OK.
evaluate Assessing results. Compare approaches.
decide Committing to direction. Make the call.
action Taking action. Execute the plan.
outcome Checking outcome. Verify results.

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.

workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository hknc/claude-evolve (8 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 168 tokens to every session and 1,912 once invoked, about $0.0008 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.
