What it does

Example prompts

  • “/code-dev-workflow”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Explore — code_outline, grep, lsp_*, code_search (if enabled). Write scratchpad_write(key="phase", value="explore") and a file list to read.
  2. Read — file_read with start_line/end_line only. Summarize into scratchpad. Then phase=read.
  3. Author — file_write skeleton first, then section-by-section updates. phase=author.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d3d7776. 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

Code Dev Workflow loads about 209 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 70 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~209

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.

Code Dev Workflow

Use when the session is in code_dev mode.

Phases

  1. Explore — code_outline, grep, lsp_*, code_search (if enabled). Write scratchpad_write(key="phase", value="explore") and a file list to read.
  2. Read — file_read with start_line/end_line only. Summarize into scratchpad. Then phase=read.
  3. Author — file_write skeleton first, then section-by-section updates. phase=author.

Rules

  • Never read entire large files without outline + line ranges.
  • Do not mirror document milestones into todo_write unless executing multi-step work.
