ax-extract-workflow

ax-extract-workflow is a skill for Claude Code from ishandutta2007/Awesome-Agent-Skills. It costs 54 tokens per session (1,200 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for reconstructing the process that produced a completed feature, fix, demo, or pull request. It uses session evidence, commits, reviews, and verification results to describe the work in order.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for retrospectives, onboarding, playbooks, and explaining which decisions, checks, and review steps helped a change ship.
Why use it?
It turns a one-time success into a repeatable recipe instead of leaving the team with only the final code.

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

ax-extract-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 11d 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.

ax Extract Workflow

Overview

Shipping something once is not the same as knowing how to repeat it. This skill reconstructs the ordered workflow behind a past artifact: the framing decisions, implementation path, review gates, verification evidence, and user steering points that made it land.

Use ax as the primary evidence source when it is installed, because it can connect sessions, turns, skills, tool calls, commits, and cost data. If ax is unavailable, use git history, PR comments, issue threads, CI logs, and local notes, but label the reconstruction as lower confidence.

When to Use

  • The user asks "what made this work?", "how did we ship this?", or "extract the workflow behind this PR"
  • A feature, demo, refactor, migration, or incident fix worked and the team wants the reusable recipe
  • You need to explain which skills or process steps actually mattered, not just summarize the final diff
  • You are preparing a retrospective, playbook, onboarding note, or repeatable implementation guide

NOT for:

  • Generic activity summaries or "what happened today" reports
  • Root-causing a live bug; use debugging-and-error-recovery first
  • Writing a new implementation plan from scratch; use spec-driven-development and planning-and-task-breakdown

Process

1. Resolve the anchor

Identify the artifact the user wants to reconstruct:

Anchor Evidence to gather
Commit SHA ax sessions near <sha> plus git show <sha>
PR URL or number PR description, comments, review threads, checks, and commits
Date or release ax sessions around <date> plus release notes or tags
Topic or feature name ax recall "<topic>" to find candidate sessions and commits

If the anchor is ambiguous, ask the user to choose before narrating.

2. Build the evidence window

Collect the smallest window that explains the artifact:

  1. Start from the anchor session, PR, or commit.
  2. Include predecessor sessions that introduced the idea, plan, or failed attempt.
  3. Include follow-up sessions that repaired tests, changed direction, or finished verification.
  4. Exclude unrelated nearby work, even if it happened on the same day.

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.
