compose

A workflow-planning tool that chooses and orders existing workflow skills for a stated goal. It asks several agents to propose pipelines and then recommends one.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan multi-step work by comparing possible skill combinations, their order, and their settings.
Why use it?
It helps turn a broad outcome into an ordered set of tasks without requiring you to design the whole workflow manually.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

compose 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 2d 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 — 231 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Workflow Pipeline Builder. A meta-workflow that takes a goal and designs which existing workflow skills to chain together, in what order, with what parameters. Spawns agents to independently propose different workflow compositions for the same goal. The only workflow that operates on the WORKFLOW LAYER rather than the problem layer. Produces a recommended pipeline with rationale.

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS — format: [N] "goal description" where N is optional pipeline-proposal count (default: 3, min 2, max 5)

Parse Arguments

Extract:

  • agent_count: the optional leading integer (default 3, min 2, max 5)
  • goal: the quoted or unquoted goal description — what the user wants to achieve end-to-end

If the goal is missing or unclear, ask the user to clarify before proceeding.

Phase 1: Analyze the Goal

Before spawning agents, classify the goal along five dimensions. For each dimension, assign a rating and a one-sentence justification:

Dimension Rating Justification
Novelty Low / Medium / High How much prior art exists for this kind of problem?
Urgency Low / Medium / High How time-sensitive is delivery?
Risk Level Low / Medium / High What is the blast radius if the solution is wrong?
Team Size Solo / Small (2-4) / Large (5+) How many people will execute?
Reversibility Easy / Moderate / Hard How costly is it to undo decisions made during implementation?

Prepare a goal analysis brief that includes:

  • The goal restated in one sentence
  • The dimension ratings table above
  • Key constraints or context from the conversation
  • What "done" looks like for this goal

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.

compose is a skill published in the GitHub repository sjarmak/agent-workflows (9 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 2,673 tokens. 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 2026-08-31.
