opensession: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/workflow-authoring/SKILL.md

workflow-authoring is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tellahq/opensession. It costs 53 tokens per session (2,485 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for writing and debugging Open Session workflow scripts, which coordinate multiple agents or tool calls. It covers choosing calls, parallel work, durable child sessions, and replay-safe workflow design.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before creating a non-trivial workflow that fans work out to multiple agents, calls external tools, runs pipelines, or needs resumable execution.
Why use it?
It helps avoid unreliable or inefficient scripts when a task needs several coordinated steps or independent checks.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is tellahq/opensession's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on opensession itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything opensession configures →

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-authoring 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 1mo 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 — 246 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Workflow authoring

Use this guide when a task benefits from deterministic fan-out across many focused agents, direct MCP data calls, or durable child sessions. Do not use a workflow for one small sequential task that the current session can do directly.

Start with current capabilities

Call mcp__opensession-workflows__workflow_capabilities when model choice or run size matters. It returns the live model ids, default model, concurrency, lifetime, timeout, and child-session limits. Do not guess model ids or copy an old model list into a script.

Script shape

Pass plain JavaScript, not TypeScript, to run_workflow. Do not use imports. Export meta, then write the async body with top-level await and return:

export const meta = {
  name: "route-audit",
  description: "Audit routes for missing auth checks",
  phases: [{ title: "List" }, { title: "Audit" }, { title: "Rank" }],
};

phase("List");
const files = await agent("List the route files. Return only a JSON array.", {
  schema: { type: "array", items: { type: "string" } },
});
if (!files) return "Listing failed";

phase("Audit");
const findings = await parallel(
  files.map(
    (file) => () =>
      agent(`Read ${file} and report missing auth or validation checks.`, {
        label: file,
      }),
  ),
);

phase("Rank");
return findings.filter(Boolean);

meta.name is required and should be a short slug. description and phases are optional. Predeclared phases make progress understandable before work reaches them.

Injected globals

agent(prompt, opts?)

Run one focused model turn. Agents begin with no conversation context, so every prompt must include the paths, constraints, and output contract it needs.

Options:

{
  label,   // short progress label
  phase,   // phase override for this call
  schema,  // JSON Schema; returns parsed validated data
  model,   // current model id from workflow_capabilities
  effort,  // low, medium, high, xhigh, or max when supported
  write,   // opt into a branch-producing write agent
}

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-authoring is a skill published in the GitHub repository tellahq/opensession (399 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 2,485 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
