new-app-pipeline

new-app-pipeline is a skill for Claude Code from richkuo/rk-skills. It costs 88 tokens per session (742 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided workflow for taking a new app from an idea to a running implementation managed through multiple coding agents. It creates a product requirements document (PRD), resolves unanswered decisions, and organizes the work in GitHub.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to turn an app idea into a detailed PRD, dependency-ordered GitHub milestones, implementation-ready issues, and an execution plan. It can then run the milestone workflow.
Why use it?
It removes the need to coordinate the planning, issue writing, dependency ordering, and milestone setup by hand. The work is saved in documents, pull requests, and issues so it can continue after the conversation ends.

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

new-app-pipeline 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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 36 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

new-app-pipeline

The end-to-end process for starting a new app: capture the idea as a PRD, refine it by resolving every open question, break it into execution-ready GitHub issues, review the model/effort assignments, then run the milestone workflow. Each stage produces a durable artifact (PR, issues, workflow run) so the pipeline survives context resets — the conversation is never the state.

Stages

# Stage Skill Artifact Checkpoint before next stage
1 Idea → PRD app-prd PRD.md on a PR User iterates on the draft, in bursts
2 Resolve questions prd-questions Updated PRD, empty Open Questions User answered every batch
3 Merge the PRD PR PRD on main Explicit user go
4 Issues + milestones prd-to-issues Milestones, complete scoped issues with Execution blocks User reviews the breakdown table
5 Execution plan execution-plan-review Revised Execution blocks User settles the final table
6 Show the plan milestoneplan Single per-issue plan table (complexity, dependencies, models, efforts, fableplan, first review) User reviews the table (recommended, not required)
7 Run a milestone milestone-workflow Workflow run → PRs → LGTMs User approves the run plan (mandatory)

Rules

  • Never skip a checkpoint. Every stage boundary stops for the user; the pipeline is collaborative at the joints and autonomous inside them.
  • Stages are re-enterable: the user can jump back ("actually keep Drizzle", "12 should be medium") at any point — apply the revision to the artifact, not just the chat.
  • Stages 6–7 repeat per milestone (v0, then v1, …), chaining workflow invocations where cross-phase dependencies require earlier merges.
  • Stage 6 is read-only and skippable — it never edits an issue. Skipping it means the first sign of a bad Execution stamp is an agent already running on it.
  • Tech-stack debates during stage 1–2 (framework, ORM, hosting) are settled in chat and recorded in the PRD's Platforms & Technology table — the PRD carries the decision, the chat carries the reasoning.
  • All the standing rules apply throughout: worktree + PR for every change, attribution footers, github-issue-format before filing, best-solution over cheap-solution.

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.
