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

agentic-workflow-init 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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

Agentic Workflow Init

Follow root AGENTS.md. This skill creates control state only; it does not implement product work, mutate application rows/artifacts, push, open a PR, merge, tag, release, or contact an external system.

Bootstrap

  1. Verify the repository root, worktree, current branch, remote baseline, and operator authority.
  2. Confirm one target SemVer and create the feature branch.
  3. Create the committed canonical plan at docs/agentic-workflows/<version>-<slug>.md using the controller plan asset.
  4. Add the matching top changelog heading and bootstrap bullet.
  5. Commit the plan and changelog before implementation.
  6. Initialize ignored runtime state bound to the committed plan digest, revision, branch, bootstrap commit, current P step, and pause conditions.
  7. Return a kickoff prompt for $agentic-workflow-controller.

Use the public environment helper:

.venv/bin/python skills/agentic-workflow-controller/scripts/workflow_state.py \
  init <workflow-id> --version <X.Y.Z> --objective "<objective>" \
  --current-step P01 --branch <branch> \
  --plan-path docs/agentic-workflows/<X.Y.Z>-<slug>.md \
  --plan-revision 1 --bootstrap-commit <commit>

Runtime state belongs under ignored tmp/agentic-workflows/<workflow-id>/ and must remain a cursor/evidence log, not a competing plan. Keep sensitive or heavy evidence outside the repository tree. User authority remains required for publication, destructive work, private application mutation, and release closeout.

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
