journey-runner

journey-runner is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from microsoft/agentic-journeys. It costs 113 tokens per session (3,528 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of journey-runner, MIT.

A guided process for running an agentic journey from start to finish. An agentic journey is a structured exercise in which an AI agent builds, deploys, and checks an application.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for testing journey prompts, building and deploying journeys to Azure, verifying their results, and cleaning up after verification.
Why use it?
It prevents incomplete checks by validating required tools first, using a separate workspace, testing the deployed app with real requests and screenshots, and cleaning up only its own resources.

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

journey-runner 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/capture-screenshot.mjs, scripts/check-prerequisites.mjs, scripts/run-copilot-prompt.mjs), 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 302 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Journey Runner Skill

Run a journey like a learner would, but with strict preflight, isolated state, evidence-backed verification, and scoped cleanup. The workflow must work on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Required Runner Tools

The runner itself requires:

  • Node.js LTS or later
  • Azure CLI
  • Azure Developer CLI (azd) 1.28.0 or later
  • GitHub Copilot CLI

Screenshot runs additionally require the local Playwright package and bundled Chromium under scripts/. Installation options for all operating systems are in ../../../docs/tool-installation.md.

Do not install system tools during a run. Report the missing tool, its install link, and the validation command, then stop before generating code or creating Azure resources. Project-local npm ci for the checked-in runner helpers is allowed only during explicit runner setup, not as a surprise halfway through a journey.

Inputs and Defaults

Inputs:

  1. Journey path, such as journeys/smart-todo/
  2. Stack choice when the journey supports multiple stacks
  3. Azure subscription for deployment runs
  4. Cleanup policy: after-verification or leave-running

Defaults:

Behavior Default
Deploy to Azure Yes, when the journey contains a deployment phase
Cleanup after-verification
Stack Use the only option; ask before starting when multiple materially different stacks exist
Verification failure Record the failure, attempt one evidence-based repair, then stop that phase if it still fails
Output Concise phase summary plus artifact paths and actual command results

Only use leave-running when the user explicitly requests it.

Step 0: Parse the Journey

Read the journey's README.md, PLAN.md when present, and every associated journey skill. Extract:

  • Journey type and phases
  • Prompts to send to Copilot
  • Commands and generated scripts
  • Required and optional host tools
  • Local ports
  • Deployment outputs
  • Verification criteria
  • Platform gates such as Xcode

What ships with it

6 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.
