workflows-compound

workflows-compound is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Kastalien-Research/thoughtbox. It costs 23 tokens per session (986 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A documentation step that records reusable lessons from a completed development workflow. It reads the workflow state, agent summaries, review report, design documents, and Git history.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after review and revision to document solutions, findings, and workflow improvements; it does not write code.
Why use it?
It preserves practical lessons so later development work can benefit from what was learned.

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

workflows-compound 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 4d 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.

Capture learnings from the current workflow: $ARGUMENTS

Purpose

You are executing Stage 7 (Compound) of the development workflow. Implementation is reviewed and revised. Your job is to extract reusable learnings from this workflow and persist them so future workflows benefit. You are NOT writing code — you are documenting what was learned.

Pre-Conditions

Before starting, verify:

  1. .workflow/state.json exists and currentStage is "compound"
  2. Review has passed (check stages.review.status is "completed")
  3. If revision happened, it's also completed

If pre-conditions are not met, report what's missing and halt.

Process

Step 1: Gather Evidence

Read all workflow artifacts:

  1. Workflow state: .workflow/state.json — timeline, iterations, stage notes
  2. Sub-agent summaries: .workflow/summaries/*.md — what was built
  3. Review report: .workflow/review-report.md — what was found
  4. Spec and ADR: The original design documents
  5. Git log: What actually changed
git log --oneline --since="$(jq -r .startedAt .workflow/state.json)" -- .

Step 2: Extract Learnings

Identify three categories of learnings:

Solutions — Reusable patterns for solving specific problems:

  • What problem was solved?
  • What approach worked?
  • What approach was tried and didn't work?
  • What would you do differently next time?

Discoveries — Things learned about the codebase or domain:

  • Unexpected behaviors encountered
  • Undocumented constraints discovered
  • Performance characteristics measured

Process — What worked or didn't in the workflow itself:

  • Which stages were smooth vs. painful?
  • Where did revision loops happen and why?
  • What spec assumptions were wrong?

Step 3: Write Solution Document

If a reusable solution was produced, write it to docs/solutions/:

# <Problem Title>

## Problem
[What problem this solves, in 2-3 sentences]

## Solution
[The approach that worked, with code references]

## Context
- Workflow: <id>
- Spec: <path>
- Date: <ISO date>

## Key Decisions
- [Decision 1]: [Why this choice was made]
- [Decision 2]: [Why this choice was made]

## What Didn't Work
- [Approach that was tried and abandoned, with brief explanation]

## Related
- [Links to specs, ADRs, or other solutions]

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.

workflows-compound is a skill published in the GitHub repository Kastalien-Research/thoughtbox (64 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 986 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
