mindforge-pause-work is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sairam0424/MindForge. It costs 16 tokens per session (215 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for recording the current state of coding work when you need to pause partway through a phase. It gathers completed work, remaining tasks, decisions, and blockers into a handoff file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to detect the current phase, write resumable handoff notes, save the work as a Git WIP commit, and provide instructions for restarting.
Why use it?

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

mindforge-pause-work 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 5d 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

Routes to the pause-work workflow which handles:

  • Current phase detection from recent files
  • Complete state gathering (position, completed work, remaining work, decisions, blockers)
  • Handoff file creation with all context sections
  • Git commit as WIP
  • Resume instructions

<execution_context> @.agent/workflows/mindforge-pause-work.md </execution_context>

The workflow handles all logic including:

  1. Phase directory detection
  2. State gathering with user clarifications
  3. Handoff file writing with timestamp
  4. Git commit
  5. Confirmation with resume instructions

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.
