workflow-orchestration

A workflow runner that executes a predefined sequence of development steps, such as creating a branch, writing code, testing, and cleaning up.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for running feature workflows from JSON definitions, previewing them with a dry run, and validating the result.
Why use it?
It coordinates multi-step work consistently and records checkpoints, while asking for permission before destructive actions.

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

workflow-orchestration 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/lib-workflow.sh, scripts/run-workflow.sh), 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.

What it actually says

Workflow Orchestration Skill

Chains multiple DevSquad skills into an autonomous, feature-complete workflow that executes with minimal user intervention. Reads a JSON workflow definition file, executes steps sequentially, gates destructive operations with user permission prompts, auto-commits at checkpoints, and validates the result.

When to Use

Use this skill when the user:

  • Wants to run a pre-defined multi-step workflow (e.g., "run the feature workflow for issue-42")
  • Asks to "chain" multiple skills or automate a sequence of operations
  • Mentions a workflow file (e.g., "use feature-workflow.json")
  • Wants a repeatable, auditable process for common development patterns

Invocation

bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/workflow-orchestration/scripts/run-workflow.sh" \
  --workflow "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/workflow-orchestration/templates/feature-workflow.json" \
  [--dry-run] \
  [--skip-gates]

Arguments

Argument Required Description
--workflow <path> Yes Path to the JSON workflow definition file
--dry-run No Print steps without executing them
--skip-gates No Skip destructive-step confirmation prompts (use with caution)

Workflow JSON Format

See templates/feature-workflow.json for a complete example. Each step has:

  • id - unique step identifier (used as checkpoint key)
  • skill - shell command or script to invoke
  • args - string of arguments passed to the skill
  • destructive - boolean, gates with user prompt if true
  • checkpoint - boolean, auto-commits and records hash if true
  • commit_message - optional message template (supports $WORKFLOW_NAME, $STEP_ID env vars)
Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

workflow-orchestration is a skill published in the GitHub repository joshidikshant/devsquad (7 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 465 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
