What it does
Ahk Use Case is an agent skill from enmanuelmag/agent-harness-kit. Define one user-centered use case through an iterative decision tree, then persist it as a reviewable draft.
Its SKILL.md is about 330 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `resources/template.md` and `resources/workflow.md`).
The repository describes itself as: A provider-agnostic scaffolding kit for running structured multi-agent workflows in your codebase. The licence is Apache-2.0.
Example prompts
- “/ahk-use-case”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f8977b4. 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
Ahk Use Case loads about 328 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 158 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.

- ahk-use-case
- description
- Define one user-centered use case through an iterative decision tree, then persist it as a reviewable draft.
Start from the user's outcome, actor, and trigger. Ask exactly one decision question at a time. Research independent facts in the project with the available tools before asking the user to decide them.
Read the workflow and the template before saving.
Split the request when it contains independent actor-goal-result scenarios. Explain the proposed split and keep linked use cases separately reviewable. Do not choose implementation architecture, libraries, APIs, or a technical design.
Capture preconditions, main flow, alternatives, failures, business rules, boundaries, exclusions, observable outcome, and acceptance criteria. Persist a use-case draft with specs.create; real use cases are stored in docs/use-cases/. Save the first coherent draft before asking for explicit approval. Update it as the conversation refines it, validate after every write, and only transition it to approved after direct user approval.
An approved use case can be linked from a functional spec through sourceUseCases. Offer ahk-spec when the user wants scope and requirements derived from approved use cases.

What does Ahk Use Case do?
Define one user-centered use case through an iterative decision tree, then persist it as a reviewable draft. Ahk Use Case is an agent skill from enmanuelmag/agent-harness-kit. Define one user-centered use case through an iterative decision tree, then persist it as a reviewable draft.
How do I install Ahk Use Case in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add enmanuelmag/agent-harness-kit --skill ahk-use-case -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (src/core/materializer/skills/ahk-use-case in enmanuelmag/agent-harness-kit) into .claude/skills/ahk-use-case in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Ahk Use Case in Codex?
Run `npx skills add enmanuelmag/agent-harness-kit --skill ahk-use-case -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (src/core/materializer/skills/ahk-use-case in enmanuelmag/agent-harness-kit) into .agents/skills/ahk-use-case in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Ahk Use Case in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders.
