What it does

Safe Workflow is an agent skill from bybren-llc/safe-agentic-workflow. SAFe development workflow guidance including branch naming conventions, commit message format, rebase-first workflow, and CI validation. Use when starting work on a Linear ticket, preparing commits, creating branches, writing PR descriptions, or asking about contribution guidelines.

Its SKILL.md is about 690 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets.

It sits in Development, covering Commit messages and Pull requests. The repository describes itself as: SAW — SAFe Agentic Workflow AI Agent Harness for Multi-Agent Team Workflows Built on SAFe methodology (Scaled Agile Framework), adapted for AI agent teams (Now With AI-DLC!)… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Starting work on a Linear ticket
Preparing commits
Creating branches
Writing PR descriptions

Example prompts

“/safe-workflow”

Workflow steps

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

Branch name follows convention
All commits have ticket reference
Rebased on latest main
CI passes: {{CI_VALIDATE_COMMAND}}

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 26ca58b. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- git
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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

Safe Workflow loads about 686 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 142 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~686

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

The full file from bybren-llc/safe-agentic-workflow at commit 26ca58b, republished under its MIT licence (© bybren-llc). 142 words, ~686 tokens.

fix(auth): resolve login redirect [{{TICKET_PREFIX}}-57]

Rebase-First Workflow

bash

# 1. Start from latest main
git checkout {{MAIN_BRANCH}} && git pull origin {{MAIN_BRANCH}}

# 2. Create feature branch
git checkout -b {{TICKET_PREFIX}}-{number}-{description}

# 3. Make commits
git commit -m "type(scope): description [{{TICKET_PREFIX}}-XXX]"

# 4. Before pushing - rebase
git fetch origin && git rebase origin/{{MAIN_BRANCH}}

# 5. Push with force-with-lease
git push --force-with-lease

Pre-PR Checklist
