designing-workflow

designing-workflow is a skill for Claude Code from isvlasov/rageatc-oss. It costs 31 tokens per session (963 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for choosing the phases and structure of a workflow. A workflow is the planned sequence of activities used to complete a task, such as preparation, planning, execution, and validation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan a workflow, choose its phases, and decide which activities are needed for a particular task.
Why use it?
It helps prevent missing important stages or adding unnecessary ones when planning how work should be done.

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

designing-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 10d 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.

Designing Workflow

The canonical six-phase menu for rageatc-core-oss — every workflow subsets from these phases based on task characteristics. This skill covers structure (which phases, when); execution (agent coordination, logging, validation) lives in orchestrating-work.

Phase Menu

Phase 1: Preparation (always)

Understand requirements, explore context, identify the execution approach. The full arc is Ideate → Understand → Solution → Brief, each step optional:

  • ideating — generate and explore ideas when the user doesn't yet have a clear task
  • understanding-the-ask — explore user intent through structured dialogue
  • solutioning — explore solution options when the approach is unclear
  • Exploratory research via subagents, reading referenced documents, clarifying ambiguities and constraints

Outputs: clear understanding of requirements; decision record if solutioning was used; captured ideas if ideating was used.

Phase 2: Planning (always — spend the most user time here)

Create the execution plan for orchestrator and user — NOT for agents, who receive instructions at invocation. Leverage the plan agent, review the plan with the user, identify decision points, dependencies, agent sequence, and file paths. If planning is done right, everything else flows smoothly.

Output: work/<task-id>/plan.md.

Phase 3: Research (optional)

Background investigation, fact-finding, evidence gathering. Include for novel domains, unfamiliar problem spaces, or factual claims needing verification; skip for routine well-understood work or when the necessary knowledge is already in context.

Sub-steps: research brief (orchestrator-owned, per creating-briefs) → execute (researcher / source-collector) → fact-check (optional but recommended) → review (critic, iterate if needed).

Outputs: research document, source index (thorough mode), fact-check report.

Research is the primary fact-checking checkpoint — verify claims here to prevent error propagation into artefacts.

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.
