Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00048 | $0.00509 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00019 | $0.00204 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00102 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00051 |
Grade A, and why
apex-workflow-start 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 yesterday.
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 42 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Workflow Start
Prerequisites
Use the Copilot session target inside VS Code. A skill inherits actual caller tools/model;
it cannot change the selected role, grant permission or establish human approval.
Use the Orchestrator for end-to-end coordination or directly select the requested domain owner.
If the requested owner is already active, continue there; never ask the user to select the same role again.
Direct Requirements, Architect, Design and Governance ask missing material questions through native ask_user.
Delegated tasks return the form to their interactive parent.
Procedure
Resolve the requested operation and project. Supplied explicit values need no repeated confirmation;
ambiguous operation/project requires a native question. No guessed new project on an empty recall result.
Read workflow entry and
workflow engine only for relevant domain prerequisites.
Recover apex-recall show <project> --json, existing summary/artifacts and real review/approval evidence.
Never read/write state JSON directly or infer completion from numbered files.
Use native task lifecycle
for authorized delegation and actual results. No handoff-button, handshake or log-path prerequisite.
Missing tool/input/approval returns a precise blocker; do not widen scope or substitute model/owner.
Decline/cancellation never approve; Autopilot form answers are not independent human authorization.
For resume preserve findings, checkpoints, current source evidence and actual invocation allowances.
For an explicit start/new-project request, initialization alone is not completion:
the active Orchestrator dispatches 02-Requirements and mediates its missing discovery questions.
Only an explicit initialization-only request stops at the verified session record.
Existing pending work is resumed, never reinitialized to recover this startup path.
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.

apex-workflow-start is a skill published in the GitHub repository jonathan-vella/apex-accelerator (50 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 509 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-21.

planner
Script-guided plan-and-execute workflow run one numbered step at a time. planner.py drafts a plan through forced reflection pauses, then runs a technical-writer and quality-reviewer review of the plan file; executor.py delegates each milestone of an approved plan file to specialized agents and, on resume, reconciles…
execution-plans
Manage execution plans as versioned artifacts with progress tracking and decision logs. Use when you say "create execution plan", "update plan progress", "log decision", "complete plan", or "abandon plan". Do NOT use to break work into milestones (use plan) or to execute an approved plan file through delegation (use…
