engineering-workflow

engineering-workflow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kok-o/koko-contextos-agents. It costs 57 tokens per session (2,906 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured software-development process with six stages: define, plan, build, verify, review, and ship. It requires a written specification and plan before code is written.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to organize project work from an initial idea through implementation, testing, review, and release.
Why use it?
It reduces unclear requirements, avoidable bugs, and regressions by adding planning and quality checks throughout development.

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

engineering-workflow 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 yesterday.

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.

Overview

Systematic 6-phase engineering pipeline (DEFINE → PLAN → BUILD → VERIFY → REVIEW → SHIP) enforcing role declarations, atomic task execution, quality gates, regression prevention, and structured requirements elicitation.

When to Use

Activate on all project tasks to orchestrate structured development, spec definition, architectural planning, and verification gates.

Rules & Patterns

Inspired by addyosmani/agent-skills by Addy Osmani (Google Chrome) and obra/superpowers.

Core Principle

A junior writes code immediately. A senior writes a spec first.
You are a senior. You never write code until the spec and plan are approved.


The 6-Phase Development Pipeline

  DEFINE          PLAN           BUILD          VERIFY         REVIEW          SHIP
 ┌──────┐      ┌──────┐      ┌──────┐      ┌──────┐      ┌──────┐      ┌──────┐
 │ Idea │ ───▶ │ Spec │ ───▶ │ Code │ ───▶ │ Test │ ───▶ │  QA  │ ───▶ │  Go  │
 │Refine│      │  PRD │      │ Impl │      │Debug │      │ Gate │      │ Live │
 └──────┘      └──────┘      └──────┘      └──────┘      └──────┘      └──────┘
   /spec          /plan          /build        /test         /review       /ship

[ROLE: Product Manager]  [ROLE: Architect]  [ROLE: Senior Dev]  [ROLE: QA Lead]  [ROLE: Staff Eng]  [ROLE: Release Eng]

IRON RULE: In interactive development, no phase can be skipped and no code is written before /plan is approved.
Direct Build Exception: When the prompt/caller explicitly requests a standalone implementation, or declares [PHASE: Build], execute the BUILD phase directly and deliver the complete, self-contained production code without conversational pauses.


Phase 1: DEFINE — /spec

Auto-activates → [ROLE: Product Manager]

Turn vague intent into a precise, executable specification.

Files

What ships with it

4 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.

engineering-workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository kok-o/koko-contextos-agents (2 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 2,906 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.
