engram-task-workflow

engram-task-workflow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from JJHbrams/Project-AMBER. It costs 75 tokens per session (1,376 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow that sets required steps before and after changing a code repository, including checking prior knowledge, Git branches, worktrees, and task records.

In plain words
What is it for?
It guides feature work, bug fixes, refactoring, builds, tests, dependency changes, configuration edits, and other repository-changing tasks.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of overwriting other uncommitted work or making repository changes without the required context and follow-up record.

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

engram-task-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 5d 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.

Engram task workflow

코드나 저장소 상태를 바꾸기 전에 선행 지식과 브랜치를 확인하고, 완료 후 활동을 기록한다.

작업 시작

  1. kg_wiki_reminder(query=<작업 내용 한 줄 요약>)를 호출한다.
    • 관련 기록이 있으면 필요한 노드를 읽고 작업에 반영한다.
    • 단순히 hit가 있다는 이유만으로 사용자 승인을 다시 요구하지 않는다. 작업 방향을 바꿀 중요한 충돌이 있을 때만 질문한다.
  2. Git 저장소라면 수정 전에 현재 브랜치, worktree 목록, 미커밋 상태를 확인한다.
  3. 다음 중 하나면 현재 디렉토리에서 작업하지 말고 독립 branch+worktree를 만든다.
    • 여러 에이전트가 서로 독립적인 작업을 병렬 수행한다.
    • 현재 worktree에 다른 작업의 미커밋 변경이 있다.
    • 장시간 빌드·테스트 또는 실험이 기존 작업 상태를 방해할 수 있다.
  4. main, master, dev에서 작업 중이면 kg_read_note("git-branch-guide")를 읽는다.
  5. 다음의 단순 유지보수는 현재 브랜치를 유지하고 새 branch/worktree를 만들지 않는다.
    • docs/**, 루트 README*.md, CHANGELOG.md의 오탈자·표현·링크 같은 작은 문서 수정
    • 런타임 동작, 테스트, 빌드, 의존성, CI, 배포, agent 정책에 영향을 주지 않는 소규모 chore
    • AGENTS.md, .github/**, workflow/skill, 설정·의존성·빌드 파일은 이름이 docs/chore여도 단순 유지보수로 보지 않는다.
  6. 단순 유지보수가 아닌 작업은 변경 전에 작업 성격에 맞는 브랜치를 생성한다.
    • 신규 기능: feat/<slug>
    • 버그 수정: fix/<slug>
    • 리팩토링: refactor/<slug>
    • 문서 전용: docs/<slug>
    • 테스트 전용: test/<slug>
  7. 기존 미커밋 변경이 있으면 삭제·stash·reset하지 않는다.
    • 새 작업이 기존 변경과 같은 작업이면 새 브랜치가 변경을 그대로 승계할 수 있다.
    • 다른 작업이면 깨끗한 기준 브랜치에서 별도 worktree를 만든다.
    • dirty 변경을 새 worktree로 임의 복사하거나 patch 적용하지 않는다.

Repository policy advisor

세션 bootstrap은 현재 cwd가 Git 저장소이고 정책 가이드가 켜져 있으면 Engram Git advisor를 멱등 설치하고 repo-local merge.ff=false를 관리한다.

  • frozen: engram-overlay.exe --role git-hook install --repo <path>
  • source: python engram_overlay_entry.py --role git-hook install --repo <path>
  • 조회·제거: 같은 명령의 installstatus 또는 uninstall로 교체한다.
  • uninstall은 공용 Git 디렉터리에 opt-out marker를 남긴다. 명시적 install만 marker를 제거하므로 다음 세션에 원치 않게 재설치되지 않는다.
  • 정책 가이드 OFF 또는 uninstall 시 Engram이 적용하기 전의 repo-local merge.ff를 복원한다.
  • Agent의 branch 통합은 git merge --no-ff <branch>를 사용한다. --ff-only는 금지한다.
  • 기존 사용자 pre-commit이나 custom core.hooksPath가 있으면 덮어쓰지 않고 중단한다.
  • managed wrapper는 Git Bash·WSL·Linux에서 동작하며 runtime/backend 오류가 나도 commit을 허용한다.
  • 보호 브랜치에서도 경고·추천·audit만 제공하고 사람이나 agent의 commit을 차단하지 않는다.
  • 명시적 maintenance 맥락을 기록하려면 해당 호출에 ENGRAM_CHORE_INTENT=1과 선택적 ENGRAM_CHORE_REASON을 전달한다. commit message만으로 맥락을 추론하지 않는다.

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.
