orch-add-feature

orch-add-feature is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nklofy/code-agent-skills. It costs 52 tokens per session (464 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guided workflow for building a brand-new software feature from research through planning, test-driven implementation, review, and a commit that must pass approval gates. TDD means writing failing tests first, then coding until they pass.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add a capability that does not exist yet, with the work divided into research, planning, implementation, review, and gated commit phases.
Why use it?
It gives a new feature a clear sequence of steps and checks, so research, tests, review, and committing are not handled ad hoc.

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

orch-add-feature 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 7d 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

orch-add-feature

Actor · action · target: orch · add · feature. Thin wrapper over the shared engine in orch-pipeline.

When to Use

  • The user wants a capability that does not exist yet ("add", "build", "implement", "support …").
  • It is net-new behavior — not a correction (orch-fix-defect) and not an alteration of existing behavior (orch-change-feature).

Operation settings

  • Default size floor: standard — run Research + Plan unless clearly small.
  • Phase mask: 0 → 1 → 2 → 4 → 5 → 6 (skip 3 Scaffold; that is MVP-only).
  • First move (phase 4): write new failing tests for the new behavior, then implement to green.

How It Works

  1. Run the orch-pipeline engine with the settings above.
  2. Classify size first; small / trivial features collapse toward 4 → 5 → 6.
  3. Stop at Gate 1 (plan approval) and Gate 2 (pre-commit).
  4. Add security-reviewer if the feature touches a security trigger.

Related: /feature-dev is a standalone version of this flow. orch-add-feature differs by sharing the orch-pipeline engine — the size classifier and the two gates — with the rest of the family, so it right-sizes trivial features to 4 → 5 → 6.

Example

orch-add-feature: add OAuth2 login to nws-poller
→ research existing auth libs → plan task_list  [GATE 1: approve]
→ TDD each task → code-review (+ security-reviewer: auth path)
→ commit  [GATE 2: confirm]

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.
