pipeline

pipeline is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jstoup111/ai-conductor. It costs 31 tokens per session (9,962 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An implementation-plan runner that carries out several coding tasks in stages, with checks between stages. TDD means writing a failing test first, then code to make it pass, and then improving the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to execute an implementation plan involving multiple tasks, delegated coding work, quality checks, and an audit trail.
Why use it?
It organizes multi-step development work, checks each task, and records results so failures can be caught and sent back for rework.

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

pipeline 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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 728 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

Orchestrates execution of an implementation plan through quality-gated stages. The configured harness runner drives the task loop — it parses the plan, iterates tasks, and sends one prompt per task. The selected host agent orchestrates each task by dispatching implementers through its available subagent facility. Subagent context is isolated and discarded after completion, keeping the orchestrator's context lean.

Execution Model

Harness runner              Host agent (orchestrator)    Subagent (implementer)
──────────────              ─────────────────────         ──────────────────────
Parse plan, extract task →  Receive task context    →     Full TDD cycle
                            Dispatch subagent       →     RED → DOMAIN → GREEN
                            Verify result           ←     → DOMAIN → COMMIT
Check task-status.json  ←   Report PASS/FAIL              (context discarded)
Next task or evaluator

Key constraint: The selected host agent MUST dispatch implementers through its available subagent facility. It must NOT implement directly in the orchestration session. This keeps the orchestrator's context bounded to ~2-3 summary lines per task regardless of feature size.

Host mechanics: Claude Code uses its Agent tool and Claude model labels for this delegation. Other supported hosts use their native equivalent. These mechanics may differ, but they MUST preserve the shared task scope, TDD cycle, task attribution, verification, review, and gate contracts below.

Practices

Autonomy Levels

Level Human Role Agent Authority When to Use
Conservative Approves each task before execution Sequential only, proposes before executing First time using the harness, unfamiliar domain
Standard Reviews at batch boundaries Parallel agents on non-overlapping files, quality gates Known domain, trusted test suite
Full Reviews completed features Parallel agents + parallel worktrees, auto-merge on green Mature project, well-defined stories

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.

pipeline is a skill published in the GitHub repository jstoup111/ai-conductor (7 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 9,962 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
