workflow-guide

workflow-guide is a skill for Claude Code from mhylle/claude-skills-collection. It costs 202 tokens per session (2,828 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide that recommends a coding workflow based on the task's size, risk, and need for parallel work. A monorepo is a single repository containing multiple projects or packages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when planning implementation or deciding how to organize brainstorming, planning, code reviews, parallel phases, audits, or research tasks.
Why use it?
It helps choose between working alone, using a small review team, using parallel teams, or splitting research and analysis into independent workstreams.

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

workflow-guide 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 10d 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.

Workflow Guide

A lightweight decision skill that recommends the appropriate workflow mode based on your task characteristics.

Overview

The skills collection offers three team-shaped workflow modes for the ideation → planning → implementation pipeline, plus a fourth dynamic-workflow lane on a different axis (deterministic parallel fan-out for analyze/audit/research work).

Mode Ideation Planning Implementation Best for
Solo /brainstorm /create-plan /implement-plan Sequential, focused work
Small team /team-brainstorm /team-create-plan /team-implement-plan Adversarial review, moderate scope
Full team /team-brainstorm /team-create-plan /team-implement-plan-full Parallel phases + live cross-phase review
Dynamic workflow /tt-workflow-audit (and future tt-workflow-*) Large, parallel, read/analyze/audit/research fan-out with aggregable output

The first three vary on the same axis (scope × stakes × parallelism, for implementing a plan). Dynamic workflow is a different axis — it's about work shape: a job that is embarrassingly parallel, mostly read/analyze, with aggregable per-unit output, and benefits from deterministic resumable orchestration. Decide work shape FIRST (Question 0), then — if it's an implement-the-plan job — pick solo/small/full team.

Hit a problem with TaskTracker itself while working? If an MCP tool misbehaves, a workflow rule is confusing, or a capability is missing, report it upstream with tasktracker_reportToTaskTracker({type:'defect'|'improvement', title, body}) — it files into the central TaskTracker system project (the continual-correction loop), not your own backlog. This is orthogonal to mode selection; do it whenever the friction is about the tooling, not your project.

Initial Response

When invoked, respond:

"I'll help you pick the right workflow mode. Let me ask a few quick questions about your task."

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.

workflow-guide is a skill published in the GitHub repository mhylle/claude-skills-collection (18 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 202 tokens to every session and 2,828 once invoked, about $0.0010 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.
