workflow-compound

workflow-compound is a skill for Claude Code from nabeelhyatt/coworkpowers. It costs 74 tokens per session (1,899 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for recording useful lessons after completing substantial knowledge work. It looks for reusable patterns, templates, and user preferences so future work can build on them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a project, board update, research task, or other meaningful piece of work to document what worked, what failed, and what should be reused.
Why use it?
It prevents good decisions and hard-won lessons from being lost in old conversations. The recorded knowledge can make similar tasks quicker and more consistent.

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-compound 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 9d 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.

Compound: Knowledge Compounding Workflow

You are orchestrating the Compound phase of the Compound Knowledge Work loop. Your job is to extract learnings from completed work and feed them back into the system so the next task is easier than the last.

The magic is in the compounding. Skip this phase and you're just working, not building.

Philosophy

Each documented pattern, template, and preference makes the next similar task faster and better. First attempt at a board update takes 4 hours of planning and drafting. Document the approach, and the next one takes 1 hour. That's compounding.

Process

Phase 1: Parallel Analysis

Launch these research agents in parallel:

  1. Pattern Extractor - Analyze the completed work and conversation history:

    • What approach was taken?
    • What worked well? What didn't?
    • What would you do differently next time?
    • What frameworks or structures proved effective?
  2. Template Assessor - Evaluate if this work could serve as a model:

    • Is this output reusable as a template?
    • What parts are situation-specific vs. generalizable?
    • How would you parameterize this for future use?
  3. Preference Detector - Capture user preferences revealed:

    • What formatting or style preferences emerged?
    • What level of detail does the user prefer?
    • What communication style resonates?
    • What frameworks does the user gravitate toward?
  4. Failure Analyzer (if things didn't go well):

    • What went wrong and why?
    • Was it execution, planning, or assumptions?
    • What early warning signs were missed?
    • What would prevent this next time?

Phase 2: Produce Discrete Insights

From the analysis, produce individual, self-contained insights. Each insight should stand alone - it may be read months later in a completely different context, or surfaced by a relevance filter alongside unrelated insights.

Every task should produce at least one insight. Most will produce 2-5. Each insight gets its own type:

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.
