What it does
Compose Workflow is an agent skill from danielvm-git/bigpowers. Chain multiple bigpowers skills into a custom workflow recipe saved in specs/. Use when a project repeats a non-standard skill sequence, or user wants a documented playbook beyond orchestrate-project modes.
Its SKILL.md is about 720 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `REFERENCE.md`).
It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: Agent skills synthesizing years of software engineering discipline into a prescriptive methodology for solo developers. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- A project repeats a non-standard skill sequence
- User wants a documented playbook beyond orchestrate-project modes
Example prompts
- “/compose-workflow”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Interview: goal, phases, which skills, gates between steps.
- Write specs/workflows/.yaml
- Register in state.yaml Active Decisions.
- Optional: reference from orchestrate-project Ad-Hoc mode.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 812d57a. 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.
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
Compose Workflow loads about 723 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 268 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.

Compose Workflow
HARD GATE — HARD GATE — Workflows are orchestration, not automation. Do NOT create workflows for tasks that should be single skills. Workflow complexity must be justified.
Process
- Interview: goal, phases, which skills, gates between steps.
- Write
specs/workflows/<name>.yaml:name,command,description,skills[],verify- Optional:
argsfor skill-specific arguments
- Register in state.yaml Active Decisions.
- Optional: reference from
orchestrate-projectAd-Hoc mode.
Prefer the YAML recipe format over the legacy
specs/WORKFLOW-<name>.mdmarkdown format. YAML recipes are command-mappable, machine-readable, and listed in the Standard Recipe Library.
Terminal-state taxonomy (e45s27)
Every workflow step and /loop tick MUST exit with exactly one terminal state:
| State | Meaning | Next action |
|---|---|---|
success | Step verify passed; artifacts written | Advance to next skill in recipe |
no-op | Nothing to do (already green / already applied) | Skip step; advance |
blocked | External gate (approval, red CI, missing dep) | diagnose-stall or escalate to user |
exhausted | Max iterations/cycles reached (review cap, dispatch cycles) | Stop; human decision required |
Record terminal state in specs/state.yaml handoff.last_terminal_state when a recipe step completes. /loop ticks that produce no progress for two consecutive wakes → invoke diagnose-stall.
Standard Recipe Library
Pre-built recipes in specs/workflows/ map agentic stack commands to skill chains.
Reference them in AGENTS.md so /command directly invokes the matching recipe.
| Command | Workflow | Skill chain |
|---|---|---|
/check-stack | check-stack | survey-context → assess-impact → setup-environment |
/ship | ship | audit-code → commit-message → release-branch |
/tdd | tdd | develop-tdd → enforce-first |
/code-review | code-review | audit-code → request-review → respond-review |
/security | security | audit-code → request-review |
/plan | plan | survey-context → research-first → plan-work |
/build-fix | build-fix | investigate-bug → diagnose-root → develop-tdd → validate-fix |
/e2e | e2e | smoke-test → verify-work |
Add to AGENTS.md:
/check-stack = compose-workflow check-stack
/ship = compose-workflow shipVerify
→ verify: [ "$(ls specs/workflows/*.yaml 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ')" -ge 8 ]
