What it does

Work Pipeline is an agent skill from davepoon/buildwithclaude. Triggers the WORK-PIPELINE when a user request starts with a [] tag (e.g., [new-feature], [bugfix], [WORK start]). Use this skill whenever you detect a [] tag at the beginning of a user message.

Its SKILL.md is about 530 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: A single hub to find Claude Skills, Agents, Commands, Hooks, Plugins, and Marketplace collections to extend Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Agent SDK and OpenClaw. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The WORK-PIPELINE when a user request starts with a [] tag (e.g.
  • You detect a [] tag at the beginning of a user message

Example prompts

  • “Use the work-pipeline skill to trigger the WORK-PIPELINE when a user request starts with a [] tag (e.g., [new-feature], [bugfix], [WORK start])”
  • “/work-pipeline”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Call specifier agent — analyzes the requirement, creates works/WORK-NN/Requirement.md, determines execution-mode (direct/pipeline/full)
  2. ⛔ STOP — Present the specifier's output summary to the user and WAIT for explicit approval. Do NOT call the next agent until the user…
  3. Follow the execution-mode returned by specifier

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 616deb5. 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

Work Pipeline loads about 532 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 232 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~532

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.

description
Triggers the WORK-PIPELINE when a user request starts with a [] tag (e.g., [new-feature], [bugfix], [WORK start]). Use this skill whenever you detect a [] tag at the beginning of a user message.

WORK-PIPELINE Trigger

When the user's message starts with a [] tag, start the WORK-PIPELINE by reading ../skills/sdd-pipeline/references/agent-flow.md and following the orchestration flow.

Trigger Detection

Any message starting with [...] triggers this pipeline:

  • [new-feature], [enhancement], [bugfix], [new-work], [WORK start]
  • Or any custom tag in square brackets

References Directory (CRITICAL)

When this skill is triggered, Claude Code provides the "Base directory for this skill" as an absolute path. Derive the REFERENCES_DIR from it:

REFERENCES_DIR = {Base directory}/../sdd-pipeline/references

You MUST pass this absolute path to every sub-agent invocation (specifier, planner, scheduler, builder, verifier, committer). Include it at the top of the prompt text:

REFERENCES_DIR={absolute_path}

Sub-agents need this path to read their reference files. Without it, they cannot find the files and will loop.

Pipeline Flow

  1. Call specifier agent — analyzes the requirement, creates works/WORK-NN/Requirement.md, determines execution-mode (direct/pipeline/full)
  2. ⛔ STOP — Present the specifier's output summary to the user and WAIT for explicit approval. Do NOT call the next agent until the user approves. Show what was created (Requirement.md, PLAN.md if direct mode, TASK files) and ask "Proceed?"
  3. Follow the execution-mode returned by specifier:
    • direct: call builder → committer
    • pipeline: call builder → verifier → committer in sequence
    • full: call planner → ⛔ STOP for 2nd approval → scheduler → [builder → verifier → committer] × N

Auto Mode

If the user's message ends with "auto" or "자동으로", skip ALL approval steps and execute the entire pipeline automatically. This is the ONLY case where approval gates can be skipped.
