agent-pipeline

agent-pipeline is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hybridlabor-api/bdb-dev-optimized-agent-skills. It costs 65 tokens per session (1,286 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A reference for a seven-part software development process covering architecture, technical planning, design, engineering, review, and shipping. It explains how these roles and stages fit together in an autonomous coding workflow.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for planning and coordinating autonomous software engineering work. It helps structure design, implementation, adversarial review, repair, and release stages.
Why use it?
It gives teams a shared lifecycle for moving from an idea to a shipped change. It also clarifies that review can send work back for repairs and that shipping requires approval.

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

agent-pipeline 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 6d 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.

🔄 BDB Software Engineering Pipeline

When orchestrating or executing autonomous software development, follow the lifecycle below — but the real, runnable implementation is .agents/graph.md, invoked via /startcycle-graph (see skills/basic/startcycle-graph/SKILL.md). This file is a lifecycle summary, not a second spec — if it and graph.md ever disagree, graph.md is right.

 define        plan          build          verify + review        ship
 ┌──────┐    ┌──────┐    ┌────────────┐    ┌──────────────┐    ┌─────────┐

 Architect   TechLead     the build nodes    no-progress guard   requires GO
                          run in parallel     repairs loop back   to actually ship

There is no separate /spec, /plan, /build, /test, /review, or /ship slash command — an earlier version of this file described those and a Planner_Orchestrator agent that no longer exists (split into Architect + TechLead; see graph.md's Nodes section for why). The whole lifecycle above runs through the single /startcycle-graph entry point, which invokes each node in turn per graph.md's edge table:

Stage Node(s) Reads Writes
Define + Plan Architect, TechLead state.goal state.artifacts.plan
Build Godmode_UI_UX, Godmode_Engineering, Godmode_Media_EventTech (if needed) the plan their own artifacts
Verify + Review Reviewer build artifacts + contract only, never the implementer's claim state.findings
Ship Godmode_Shipping all artifacts, findings state.gate, requires a human GO

The one rule, unchanged from graph.md: these nodes never invoke each other. A dispatcher — the /startcycle-graph workflow, or the main session acting as one — reads production_artifacts/state.json after each node returns and decides what runs next.

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.

agent-pipeline is a skill published in the GitHub repository hybridlabor-api/bdb-dev-optimized-agent-skills (6 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 65 tokens to every session and 1,286 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-03.
