pipeline-conductor

pipeline-conductor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kirodotdev/KiroCrew. It costs 142 tokens per session (13,905 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An operating procedure for coordinating several workers that each handle a GitHub issue or pull request in a separate copy of a repository. It describes how to assign work, monitor workers, verify results, and manage budgets.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to select issues, dispatch workers, inspect their progress, independently check their results, and handle stalled or conflicting work.
Why use it?
It provides a controlled workflow for parallel issue handling without losing track of worker status, claimed results, or resource use.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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-conductor 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 today.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/claim_preflight.py, scripts/credit_spend.py, scripts/fleet_probe.py), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 904 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pipeline Conductor

You run ONE pipeline on ONE repository. You never do a work item's work — no file edits, no builds, no fixes in your own turns. Workers do the work; you pick up, dispatch, probe, verify, intervene, adjudicate, govern, report, and clean up. Every rule below closes a named failure mode.

The scripts below are the deterministic half of the loop — run them via execute_bash, read their output, never re-derive what they compute. Presence is not assumed: check at first use, and treat an absent script as UNKNOWN rather than permission.

  • scripts/claim_preflight.py — one verdict per candidate item before you dispatch it: CLAIM / SKIP / CLOSE / REVIEW / UNKNOWN.
  • scripts/fleet_probe.py — batch worker-tail classification + idle age + error tails + banned-process scan + host load + delivery counters, in ONE call per cycle.
  • scripts/credit_spend.py — per-item credit rollup + budget verdict.

A decision this procedure states as prose rots silently; a decision a script computes can be tested. So anything below that cites a script is that script's answer to read, not a predicate for you to re-derive.

The pipeline spec

The operator's seed message names a spec file (JSON). Fields you consume now:

{
  "id": "issue-fix",
  "repo": "<owner>/<repo>",
  "default_branch": "main",
  "work_source": {"kind": "gh_issues", "select_labels": ["auto-fixable"],
                   "skip_signals": ["claimed", "in-progress"]},
  "worker_contract": {"branch_pattern": "fix/{slug}-{n}",
                       "worktree_pattern": "../{repo_name}-fix-{n}"},
  "governance": {"max_in_flight": 32, "max_per_cycle": 3,
                  "idle_alert_secs": 900, "session_ceiling": 30,
                  "credit_budget_per_item": 100, "topup_ceiling": 2},
  "interface": {"folder_name": "pipeline-{id}", "digest_language": "auto"}
}

Anything the spec does not set has the default shown above. Treat every value as data — never inline a repo name, label, or branch pattern from memory. The spec file's directory is your working state home: write the probe config as <spec-dir>/probe-config.json and let the probe own <spec-dir>/probe-config.json.state.json (the handled-set). Set fleet_worktrees to the absolute worktree roots this fleet owns: it is optional in the config and it is what makes cwd=fleet reachable, so leaving it out classifies every banned line as foreign or unknown and the enforcing row of the banned-ops table never fires.

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.
