dspy-advanced-workflow

dspy-advanced-workflow is a skill for Claude Code from intertwine/dspy-agent-skills. It costs 97 tokens per session (1,662 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for carrying a DSPy project from a task description through implementation, testing, optimisation, export, and deployment.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for non-trivial DSPy projects that need a specification, training and validation examples, evaluation metrics, GEPA optimisation, and a deployable saved program.
Why use it?
It provides an ordered process for deciding what to build, measuring quality, improving the program, and preparing the result for use.

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

dspy-advanced-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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (example_pipeline.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

DSPy Advanced Workflow (2026)

This skill runs the seven-step loop that turns a natural-language task description into an optimized, saved, deployable DSPy program. Use the relevant steps in order. Stop at a validated baseline for a prototype; optimizer runs require an appropriate authorized budget and evidence of need. Exporting a local artifact does not authorize deployment.

The seven steps

1. Spec

Rephrase the user's task in one sentence. Identify inputs, outputs, the quality axis that matters, and any constraints (latency, cost, tool access, context size). Pick predictor shape:

Task shape Predictor
Single-step structured I/O dspy.Predict / dspy.ChainOfThought
Tool use / multi-step dspy.ReAct
Code execution dspy.ProgramOfThought
Long context / codebase dspy.RLMdspy-rlm-module

2. Program

Write the typed dspy.Signature + dspy.Module subclass per dspy-fundamentals. No hard-coded prompts. Keep predictors named so GEPA can target them.

3. Data

Build trainset and separate valset as dspy.Example(...).with_inputs(...). For GEPA, maximize trainset size and keep validation just large enough to represent downstream behavior; held-out testset is reported on at the end only. See dspy-evaluation-harness.

4. Rich metric

Write rich_metric(gold, pred, trace=None, pred_name=None, pred_trace=None) returning dspy.Prediction(score=0..1, feedback="natural-language critique"). The feedback is load-bearing — it's what GEPA's reflection LM learns from. A dict with the same fields crashes dspy.Evaluate; only dspy.Prediction aggregates correctly. See dspy-evaluation-harness.

5. Baseline

evaluator = dspy.Evaluate(devset=valset, metric=rich_metric,
                          num_threads=8, display_progress=True,
                          provide_traceback=True,
                          save_as_json="runs/baseline.json")
baseline = evaluator(program)
print("Baseline:", baseline.score)

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.

dspy-advanced-workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository intertwine/dspy-agent-skills (277 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 97 tokens to every session and 1,662 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-30.
