What it does
Deepwork is an agent skill from akitaonrails/my-skills. High-cost orchestrator workflow for large, high-risk, multi-phase coding efforts with meaningful dependencies and review gates. Do not activate for routine multi-file changes.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Human-in-the-loop approvals. The repository describes itself as: akitaonrails' personal skills (not tailored for general usage).
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Human-in-the-loop approvals
Example prompts
- “/deepwork”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 285ca82. 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 gitignore).
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
Deepwork loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 823 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 823 words (~1,587 tokens).
“Deepwork is an orchestrator workflow for heavy coding sessions. Use it only when the work is clearly large or high-risk: multiple dependent phases, cross-cutting architectural change, unsafe-to-partially-ship migration, or sustained coordination across several specialist lanes.”
