What it does

Dynamic Workflow Mode is an agent skill from affaan-m/ECC. Design task-local harnesses, eval gates, and reusable skill extraction for Claude dynamic workflow mode and other adaptive agent harnesses. Use when building a task-local harness, adding eval gates, or extracting a reusable skill from ad-hoc work.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: The agent harness performance optimization system. Skills, instincts, memory, security, and research-first development for Claude Code, Codex, Opencode, Cursor and beyond. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Building a task-local harness
  • Adding eval gates
  • Extracting a reusable skill from ad-hoc work

Example prompts

  • “/dynamic-workflow-mode”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. One-shot task: keep it inline. Do not invent a harness.
  2. Repeated task with changing inputs: create a task-local harness and keep it under a temp or project-local working area.
  3. Repeated task across teammates or repos: extract the pattern into a shared skill.
  4. Task with external state, queueing, or approvals: add control pane visibility before adding more automation.
  5. Task with safety risk: add an eval gate and a human merge gate before autonomous execution.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ef648e0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Dynamic Workflow Mode loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 656 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Dynamic Workflow Mode

Use this skill when a coding agent can generate or adapt a task-local harness instead of only following a static command flow. The goal is to turn dynamic workflow mode into a disciplined system: temporary harnesses for one-off work, shared skill extraction for repeated work, and observable control pane checkpoints for teams.

When To Activate

  • The user mentions dynamic workflows, custom harnesses, harness-per-task, adaptive workflows, or Claude Code dynamic workflow mode.
  • A task needs a custom loop, evaluator, crawler, fixture generator, watcher, or local dashboard.
  • Multiple agents need the same repeatable process but the process is not yet captured as a shared skill.
  • A workflow needs durable handoff artifacts, eval evidence, or operator approval before merge.

Core Contract

Dynamic workflow mode should produce a task-local harness only when the harness is cheaper and safer than manually driving the same steps. The harness must have:

  • Objective: the outcome it owns and the outcome it explicitly does not own.
  • Inputs: files, URLs, prompts, data sources, credentials policy, and user-provided constraints.
  • Outputs: commits, reports, screenshots, status files, or control pane snapshots.
  • Eval: at least one pass/fail check tied to the task, not only "it ran".
  • Handoff: a short artifact that tells the next operator what happened, what is blocked, and how to resume.

Dynamic Harness Decision Tree

  1. One-shot task: keep it inline. Do not invent a harness.
  2. Repeated task with changing inputs: create a task-local harness and keep it under a temp or project-local working area.
  3. Repeated task across teammates or repos: extract the pattern into a shared skill.
  4. Task with external state, queueing, or approvals: add control pane visibility before adding more automation.
  5. Task with safety risk: add an eval gate and a human merge gate before autonomous execution.

Task-Local Harness Template

Use this structure before writing code:

markdown
# Dynamic Workflow Harness

Objective:
- Ship:
- Do not ship:

Inputs:
- Repo or workspace:
- External systems:
- Credentials policy:

Loop:
1. Discover current state.
2. Generate or update the smallest useful artifact.
3. Run eval checks.
4. Record status and handoff.
5. Stop on failed gate, unclear ownership, or unsafe external action.

Eval:
- Command:
- Expected pass signal:
- Failure owner:

Handoff:
- Status:
- Evidence:
- Next action:

Shared Skill Extraction

Promote a task-local harness into a shared skill only when at least two of these are true:

  • The same workflow appears in multiple sessions, repos, teams, or launches.
  • The workflow needs specific language, tool, or safety sequencing.
  • Failures repeat because operators skip a gate or lose context.
  • The workflow has a stable input/output contract.
  • The workflow benefits from a control pane, status board, or team handoff.

When extracting, write the skill first in skills/<name>/SKILL.md. Add command shims only if a legacy slash-entry surface is still required.

Control Pane Checkpoints

Dynamic workflow mode becomes team-usable when it exposes state. Record these checkpoints whenever the task spans more than one session:

  • Plan: objective, owner, acceptance criteria, and risky external systems.
  • Queue: work items, assigned agent role, branch/worktree, and dependency edges.
  • Run: active harness, current loop step, recent eval result, and token/cost signal if available.
  • Gate: test results, browser screenshots, security review, and merge readiness.
  • Handoff: what is done, what failed, what needs a human decision.

If the repo has ECC2 state enabled, prefer adding or reading checkpoints through the ECC control pane or state-store-backed scripts instead of scattering untracked notes.

Eval Gates

Every dynamic harness needs a task-specific eval. Pick the cheapest reliable gate:

Work TypeEval Gate
Code featureFocused test, lint, coverage, and one integration path
UI/control paneBrowser smoke with screenshot and overflow/error checks
Agent workflowFixture transcript or seeded work item with expected routing
Research/contentSource-neutral brief, claim checklist, and publish-ready outline
IntegrationDry-run command, config validation, and no-secret scan

Do not claim a dynamic workflow is reusable until the eval can be rerun by another teammate.

Anti-Patterns

  • Generating scripts that hide the real decision logic from the operator.
  • Treating dynamic workflow mode as permission to skip tests.
  • Creating one-off docs when a shared skill or status artifact is the real product.
  • Running multiple agents without ownership, merge gate, or conflict policy.
  • Letting raw private research data leak into public docs.

Output Standard

Finish with:

  • The harness or skill path.
  • The eval commands and results.
  • The control pane or handoff artifact path.
  • The next reusable extraction candidate.
