workflow

A software-development workflow that guides each coding session from understanding the task through planning, coding, testing, documentation, committing, and reflection.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to structure implementation chunks, identify files and tests before coding, run the repository’s checks, and record completed work without pushing changes.
Why use it?
It reduces skipped preparation and verification steps, and keeps work within an agreed scope. It also helps resume work with the repository’s current state in mind.

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

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 yesterday.

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 — 52 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

workflow — the loop every implementation session runs

One skill fires for all SWE work; the less-common parts load lazily from references/ when their trigger row matches. Do not rely on separate sibling skills auto-triggering for scale or rot-check — this file is their front door.

The loop

  1. Orient. Read docs/state/now.md, then the active plan (docs/plans/ when the repo keeps phase plans, else the current chunk in docs/state/roadmap.md). Know the chunk's goal and acceptance criteria before touching code. If no chunk is defined, defining one IS the first task.
  2. Plan the chunk. Smallest end-to-end slice; name the files to touch and the tests that will prove it. If scope grows mid-chunk beyond the plan, stop — re-plan or split; never "just keep going".
  3. Implement. Follow the constitution (CLAUDE.md) and the architecture rules in the active plan — they are constraints, not suggestions.
  4. Verify — the forgettable steps, in order:
    • New behavior ⇒ new test; changed behavior ⇒ changed test. Same chunk, no IOUs.
    • Run the repo's gates: project.yaml declares them as tasks; the constitution (CLAUDE.md) and the pre-commit / CI configs are the full set.
    • User-visible behavior ⇒ actually run it — a green unit test is not a seen behavior.
  5. Document in the same chunk. Update whatever the change made stale: README, the plan doc, an ADR for any new decision (docs/decisions/), docstrings. The test: "would a fresh session mis-learn anything if it read the docs right now?"
  6. Commit at the chunk boundary. Gates green → docs/state/now.md + log.md updated → commit. NEVER push. The user pushes, or explicitly says push — this repo is public; an unpushed mistake is free, a pushed one is not.
  7. Reflect — do not skip, do not defer. Ask it literally: did a lesson land this chunk (a root cause found, a tool swapped, a convention decided, a default overridden, a mistake repeated)? If yes, run the evolve procedure NOW (skill-manager/references/evolve.md) before the session ends — a lesson you plan to record "later" is a lesson lost, and re-teaching it next session is the tax. Task matched no skill? → one line in docs/state/miss-log.md, keep working.

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository Stepkar2004/init-configurator (1 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 137 tokens to every session and 874 once invoked, about $0.0007 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 2026-08-31.
