do-work

do-work is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from karlarao/afk. It costs 50 tokens per session (348 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for completing a coding task from planning through implementation, validation, and committing the changes. For backend work it uses TDD, meaning tests are written and passed in small steps; frontend work is implemented directly.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build features, fix bugs, or implement plan items, then run type checking and tests and commit the completed work.
Why use it?
It gives the agent a repeatable path from a request to checked-in code. Running type checks and tests helps catch errors before the work is committed.

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

do-work 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

Do Work

Execute a complete unit of work: plan it, build it, validate it, commit it.

Workflow

1. Understand the task

Read any referenced plan or PRD. Explore the codebase to understand the relevant files, patterns, and conventions. If the task is ambiguous, ask the user to clarify scope before proceeding.

2. Plan the implementation (optional)

If the task has not already been planned, create a plan for it.

3. Implement

For backend code: use red/green/refactor, one test at a time in a tracer-bullet style.

  1. Write a single failing test for the smallest vertical slice of behavior
  2. Run the test — confirm it fails (red)
  3. Write the minimum code to make it pass (green)
  4. Repeat from step 1 for the next slice of behavior
  5. Refactor if needed while keeping tests green

Each test should target one thin vertical slice through the system. Do not write all tests upfront — write one, make it pass, then move to the next.

For frontend code: implement directly without TDD.

4. Validate

Run the feedback loops and fix any issues. Repeat until both pass cleanly.

pnpm run typecheck
pnpm run test

5. Commit

Once typecheck and tests pass, commit the work.

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.
