workflow-authoring

workflow-authoring is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PacificStudio/openase. It costs 28 tokens per session (2,593 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow-writing guide for OpenASE, a system that runs work in temporary ticket workspaces. It defines the workflow’s role, progress states, feedback process, completion rules, and how results are saved permanently.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or edit workflow harness files for ticket-based work. It helps specify what the workflow owns, when it is complete, how ticket status changes, and where lasting outputs go.
Why use it?
It prevents important work from being lost when a temporary workspace is removed and makes unclear workflow ideas easier to execute consistently.

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-authoring 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 4d 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 Authoring

Overview

Use this skill when creating or editing an OpenASE workflow harness file. Its job is to turn a vague workflow idea into a concrete harness that clearly defines what the workflow owns, what counts as completion, how ticket state should move, where feedback comes from, and how work survives beyond a disposable ticket workspace.

This skill is about authoring the workflow file itself, not just the underlying engineering task.

Runtime Reality You Must Design Around

OpenASE ticket execution is not a persistent personal development environment.

  • Each ticket run gets its own workspace.
  • That workspace is created when the ticket starts running.
  • The local contents of that ticket workspace are disposable and may be cleaned up after the run finishes.
  • Any output that must survive the run must be pushed to the repository or written back to durable OpenASE surfaces such as ticket comments or project updates.

A good workflow harness must make that lifecycle explicit. Do not write harnesses that assume a long-lived local scratchpad or future manual cleanup inside the same workspace.

Use The Shared Platform Contract

Remember that every workflow already receives shared workflow execution rules from the platform. Reuse and specialize those rules instead of fighting them.

In particular, author around these always-on assumptions:

  • ticket comments are the durable output channel
  • the current workflow pickup status is the active owned lane
  • the current workflow finish status must only be used when the workflow deliverable is truly ready
  • blocked termination must be reserved for genuinely unprogressable cases
  • interactive waiting is not a reliable operating model

Write harness content that sharpens these generic rules for one workflow rather than duplicating all of them verbatim.

What Every Workflow File Must Define

At minimum, a workflow harness should make these items explicit:

  1. The workflow's primary mission.
    • What class of tickets this workflow is for.
    • What it is expected to deliver.
    • What it must not take on.

workflow-authoring is a skill published in the GitHub repository PacificStudio/openase (265 stars, last pushed 25d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 2,593 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
