Single entry-point orchestrator for the entire EvanFlow loop.

  • Works in 6 steps: Restate and Confirm Scope (one sentence) → Brainstorm (always, unless user opts out) → Plan (if non-trivial) → …
  • Keywords: evanflow
  • SKILL.md covers Vocabulary, When to Use, The Walk and Cross-Cutting: Context…, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Evanflow Go is an agent skill from evanklem/evanflow. Single entry-point orchestrator for the entire EvanFlow loop. The user says "let's evanflow this", "use evanflow", "evanflow this idea", "run this through evanflow", "implement with evanflow", or any similar phrasing — and you walk the full loop (brainstorm → plan → execute → tdd → iterate → STOP) end-to-end, announcing each step, respecting checkpoints, and stopping where the user retains control. Trigger keywords: "evanflow", "let's evanflow", "use evanflow", "evanflow this".

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k 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, covering Brainstorming and Test-driven development. 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

  • Keywords: evanflow
  • Tasks that involve Brainstorming
  • Tasks that involve Test-driven development

Example prompts

  • “s evanflow this”
  • “use evanflow”
  • “evanflow this idea”
  • “/evanflow-go”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Restate and Confirm Scope (one sentence)
  2. Brainstorm (always, unless user opts out)
  3. Plan (if non-trivial)
  4. Execute (sequential or parallel)
  5. Iterate (always, on success)
  6. STOP

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

    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

Evanflow Go loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 124 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,205 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~124
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.3k

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 1,205 words (~2,318 tokens).

“Single entry point for the EvanFlow workflow. The user gives you an idea or task and asks to "evanflow it" — you take responsibility for walking the whole loop end-to-end, picking the right sub-skill at each step, and respecting checkpoints…”
