A workflow for completing one open backlog ticket from start to finish, including reading the ticket, changing the code, testing it, and checking the result.

Use it to select or name a ticket, follow the repository's instructions, implement the smallest suitable change, run the relevant checks, and close the ticket when successful.

It gives one task a defined path from an open request to a verified completed change.

Install

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/TweekFawkes/prompts

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00171	$0.02479
Opus 5	$0.00086	$0.01239
Sonnet 5	$0.00034	$0.00496
Haiku 4.5	$0.00017	$0.00248

Security

Grade A, and why

dowork scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 10d 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

- For pure backend changes: exercise the new behavior through the API (`curl`, the project's API docs UI, or an integration test against the running stack).

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 152 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/dowork — Run one backlog ticket end-to-end

You are completing exactly ONE backlog ticket from z_tickets/open/ and getting it ready to land. The user message that invoked this skill carries the ticket filename (no path) as the argument, for example add-password-reset.md. Treat that filename as $TICKET for the rest of this skill.

If the user message contains no filename, list z_tickets/open/*.md (excluding files whose names start with _ or .) and pick the first one in alphabetical order — the timestamp prefix makes that the oldest. If z_tickets/open/ has no matching files, print "no open tickets" and exit.

Authoritative paths

Project root: the current working directory.
Ticket source: z_tickets/open/$TICKET
Ticket destination on success: z_tickets/closed/$TICKET
Project conventions: read CLAUDE.md at the repo root (if present) and follow it.
Plan / lessons (optional, create if your CLAUDE.md mentions them): tasks/todo.md and tasks/lessons.md.
Stage deploy: whatever your project documents (commonly bash scripts/deploy_stage.sh or a make stage target). Used only for Tier 2 (step 6).

Operating principles (must follow)

Smallest change that works. Land a thin vertical slice that satisfies the ticket. Do not opportunistically refactor.
Follow existing patterns. Match the conventions you see in the surrounding code (framework choices, naming, file layout, lint rules). Do not introduce new dependencies unless the existing stack genuinely cannot solve the problem.
Prove it works at the depth the change warrants (step 5). Never "looks right".
One ticket per invocation. Don't pull adjacent fixes into this change — capture each one as its own backlog ticket with the /newticket skill (see step 9) so it isn't lost.
Reversible by default. Prefer feature flags / config gates for risky behavior.

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.
