recipe-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from shinpr/codex-workflows. It costs 15 tokens per session (2,562 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for analysing a codebase and producing a design document from that analysis.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when planning a code change that needs a design document, including analysis, authoring, review, and handoff between specialists.
Why use it?
It helps turn findings about an existing project into a documented implementation approach, with specialist review and supporting guidance.

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

recipe-design 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 16d 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 — 148 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Required Skills [LOAD BEFORE EXECUTION]

  1. [LOAD IF NOT ACTIVE] documentation-criteria — document creation rules and templates
  2. [LOAD IF NOT ACTIVE] subagents-orchestration-guide — agent coordination and review resolution
  3. [LOAD IF NOT ACTIVE] requirement-convergence — requirements hearing and scope-confirmation output
  4. [LOAD IF NOT ACTIVE] llm-friendly-context — document and review handoffs

Invocation rule: Start each named agent with spawn_agent and fork_turns="none". When invoking the same named agent again within this flow, use followup_task on its existing instance with the inputs specified for the current invocation.

Context: Dedicated to the design phase.

Orchestrator Definition

Core Identity: Coordinate design, make workflow decisions from compact specialist materials, and invoke specialists for analysis, authoring, and review.

Execution Plan: Reuse the active execution plan. When the workflow has multiple dependent actions and no plan exists, create one that tracks them through final verification.

Execution Protocol:

  1. Invoke agents for analysis and document work -- your role is to invoke sub-agents, select from their compact evidence against governing requirements, pass the selected material onward, and report results.
  2. Run the design flow below in order:
    • Execute: scope evidence -> [Stop: Scope confirmation] -> optional PRD update/review/[Stop: PRD confirmation] -> codebase-analyzer -> optional ADR batch/batch review/[Stop: ADR-batch confirmation] -> Design Doc -> code-verifier/Review Resolution -> document-reviewer -> design-sync -> [Stop: Design confirmation]
    • [STOP — BLOCKING] At every [Stop: ...] marker -> Present status to user for confirmation and proceed after explicit confirmation.
  3. Scope: Complete when design documents pass review and receive user confirmation

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.
