What it does

Evanflow is an agent skill from evanklem/evanflow. Meta skill for the EvanFlow system. Loads the shared vocabulary (deep modules, deletion test, vertical slice, grill, mockup quick-mode, no-auto-commit) and describes when to invoke each evanflow- skill. Use when starting a new task and unsure which evanflow skill applies, or when you need to ground reasoning in the shared vocabulary.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA. The repository describes itself as: A TDD-driven iterative feedback loop for software development. 16 cohesive Claude Code skills walk an idea from brainstorm → plan → execute → iterate, with checkpoints throughout.

When your agent uses it

Example prompts

“/evanflow”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c9ae21f. 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
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

Evanflow loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,045 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~86
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~2.5k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,045 words (~2,490 tokens).

“A TDD-driven iterative feedback loop for software development with Claude Code. 16 cohesive skills + 2 custom subagents walk an idea from brainstorm → plan → execute → tdd → iterate, with checkpoints throughout. Vertical-slice TDD, parallel coder/overseer review, executable…”
