slipway-workflow

slipway-workflow is a skill for Claude Code from signalridge/slipway. It costs 41 tokens per session (2,929 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

A workflow guide that moves a rough idea or existing Slipway work item to the next appropriate step.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect current facts, resolve genuine human choices, draft an issue or change, and decide when no further workflow action is needed.
Why use it?
It clarifies missing decisions and produces a work-item draft when needed without starting implementation, a run, or an external write.

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

slipway-workflow 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 9d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Slipway Workflow

Use this capability only when the user explicitly asks to run the Slipway workflow, take an idea to a work-item draft, or orient existing Slipway work to its next function. One invocation authorizes only the guidance work for the current stage: inspect current facts, resolve genuine human decisions, and synthesize a draft when one is needed. It does not authorize an external write, Objective decomposition, implementation, or a Run. Ordinary conversation must never start it.

This capability is stateless only in the Slipway sense: it opens no Run, writes no journal, and creates no durable pipeline cursor. Conversation, documents, tracker artifacts, prototypes, and repository edits are still state and side effects. The workflow itself is read-only. It may read an existing external or unmanaged artifact as non-authoritative planning input, but a valid managed Objective, Change, or Run record retains the routing and source authority defined by the contract. It never creates or modifies an artifact as a detour.

Orchestrate Slipway functions, not installed skills

Coordinate the product functions defined by Slipway's Issue workflow: clarification, publication, Objective decomposition, Run start or resume, and the Run-owned Implement and Review loop. Do not discover, rank, or dispatch the host's general skill catalog. Do not invoke a sibling slipway-* capability; every sibling remains a user-invoked boundary and must be named for the user to invoke explicitly.

The workflow is self-contained and must work when no Matt Pocock skill is installed. Never invoke a user-only external front door such as /grill-me or /wayfinder. Do not invoke an external implementation or review skill even when it is model-reachable: after the Change handoff, Slipway Run owns execution and advisory Review. The only optional external primitive this workflow may invoke is an already-installed, model-invocable /grilling interview. Missing primitives never block the workflow and never trigger installation or enablement.

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.

slipway-workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository signalridge/slipway (23 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed BSD-3-Clause. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 2,929 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
