help

A read-only quick reference for the magi-workflow command set, including its workflow, command details, and suggested next step.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list commands, view details for one command, see the standard workflow, and check the next step inside a magi project.
Why use it?
It helps users understand what commands are available and what to run next, including before the workflow has been configured.

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 C, and why

help scanned grade C with 1 finding 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.

Tells the agent never to refusehighAnti-refusal

Suppressing the ability to decline removes a core safety control; a later harmful request then succeeds.

Try to read project state; never refuse. Help is unconditionally allowed,

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 299 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/magi:help — quick reference & next-step hint

You are the coordinator. This skill is a read-only reference printer. Do not modify any files, do not call subagents, do not invoke external CLIs. Output goes to the user as plain markdown.

0. Resolve paths

PLUGIN_ROOT="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-}"
[[ -z "$PLUGIN_ROOT" ]] && PLUGIN_ROOT="$(cd "$(dirname "$BASH_SOURCE[0]")/../.." 2>/dev/null && pwd)"
USER_CONFIG="$HOME/.config/magi-workflow/config.json"

Verify $PLUGIN_ROOT/skills is a directory. If not, the plugin is installed incorrectly — print a one-line error pointing to the install instructions and stop.

0.1. Output language

Read output_language from $USER_CONFIG if it exists; default zh-TW. Missing config is not an error — /magi:help must work before /magi:setup has ever been run, since "I don't know what to do" is exactly when users reach for help.

LANG_PREF="zh-TW"
if [[ -f "$USER_CONFIG" ]]; then
  LANG_PREF=$(jq -r '.output_language // "zh-TW"' "$USER_CONFIG" 2>/dev/null || echo "zh-TW")
fi

Section headers and ASCII flow diagrams stay English (matching README conventions); descriptive prose follows LANG_PREF.

0.2. State preflight (fail-soft)

Try to read project state; never refuse. Help is unconditionally allowed, but the reading lets the overview append a "current state → suggested next" hint at the end.

STATE_JSON=""
if STATE_RAW=$(bash "$PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/shared/detect-state.sh" 2>/dev/null); then
  STATE_JSON="$STATE_RAW"
fi

If STATE_JSON is empty (not in a git repo, or detect-state errored), skip the next-step hint section and emit the static overview only.

1. Argument parsing

/magi:help                  → overview mode
/magi:help <name>           → detail mode for skills/<resolved>/SKILL.md
/magi:help --list           → bare command list, no flow diagram or hint

Resolve <name>:

  • Accept plan, plan, or /magi:plan
  • Strip leading / and magi. prefix; the remainder must match a directory under $PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/magi.<remainder>/
  • Unknown name → print unknown command: <name> and the bare command list, then exit

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.

help is a skill published in the GitHub repository howar31/magi-workflow (2 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 101 tokens to every session and 2,982 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (tells the agent never to refuse). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
