What it does

Iflow Pause is an agent skill from jepegit/cellpy. Park work on the current issue without closing it: update status, move the group to 02-partly-solved-issues/, optional WIP commit.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 Development. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: extract and tweak data from electrochemical tests of cells. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/iflow-pause”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Explicit hints in slash input — root:, repo: (directory name, e.g. cellpy-core), or repo:owner/name.
  2. CLI fast path — issue-flow agent resolve [-C ] [--from-file ] [--json]. Use the returned project_root and repo; pass -C to other…
  3. Branch context — exactly one workspace repo whose branch matches ^\d+- → that root.
  4. Single scaffold — exactly one .issueflows/ tree visible in the workspace → that root.
  5. Workspace default — an issueflow-workspace.toml at the workspace root (created with issue-flow workspace init) may name a default member…
  6. Ambiguous → stop and ask; never guess between sibling repos.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ff2c665. 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
    • gh

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and gh, 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

Iflow Pause loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 587 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

issue-flow — issue pause (/iflow-pause)

Follow this skill to park work on the current issue without closing it. The issue is not done — this is not /iflow-close.

Invoke: type iflow pause in chat, or /iflow-pause from the slash menu (iflow-pause also works).

MODEL & EXECUTION DIRECTIVE

Profile: economy — Prioritize speed and token economy over deep reasoning.

In Cursor: use Auto or a fast model before invoking this step.

Keep scope tight to what this step requires.

Resolve project root (multi-root workspaces)

Before any git, gh, or .issueflows/ path operation in this workflow:

Resolution order (stop when unambiguous):

  1. Explicit hints in slash input — root:<path>, repo:<folder-basename> (directory name, e.g. cellpy-core), or repo:owner/name.
  2. CLI fast path — issue-flow agent resolve [-C <start>] [--from-file <active-file>] [--json]. Use the returned project_root and repo; pass -C <project_root> to other issue-flow agent … subcommands. When the answer came from the workspace registry, the payload sets resolved_via_workspace_default: true.
  3. Branch context — exactly one workspace repo whose branch matches ^\d+- → that root.
  4. Single scaffold — exactly one .issueflows/ tree visible in the workspace → that root.
  5. Workspace default — an issueflow-workspace.toml at the workspace root (created with issue-flow workspace init) may name a default member repo; use it when no scaffold matched above. Tell the user the default was used.
  6. Ambiguous → stop and ask; never guess between sibling repos.

After resolution, treat the result as <project_root> and <owner/repo>:

  • Git: git -C <project_root> … (or issue-flow agent … -C <project_root> for supported ops).
  • GitHub: pass an explicit repo on every gh call — never rely on gh's implicit cwd default. For most commands use --repo <owner/repo>; exception: gh repo view takes the repo as a positional arg (gh repo view <owner/repo> …) and rejects --repo.
  • Paths: all .issueflows/… paths are under <project_root>.

When .issueflows/04-designs-and-guides/multi-repo-workspaces.md exists, read it for layout and cross-repo guidance.

Instructions

  1. Find the focus issue. In .issueflows/01-current-issues/, identify the issue<N>_* group. If multiple groups exist and the focus is ambiguous, ask. If none exist, stop and say there is nothing to pause.

  2. Update issue<N>_status.md. Create or update it under .issueflows/01-current-issues/ with:

    • - [ ] Done (must remain unchecked — a pause is not a close).
    • Done so far — short bullets of what has landed or been tried.
    • Remaining work — explicit next steps so work can resume later.
    • Paused on — date, branch name, any blockers.

    Preserve earlier user-written content; only add or update these sections. If the user passed a short note after /iflow-pause, use it verbatim as the Remaining work text.

  3. Move the issue group. Move every issue<N>_* file from .issueflows/01-current-issues/ to .issueflows/02-partly-solved-issues/. Report each move.

  4. Working-tree guard. Run git status --porcelain. Report what is dirty, then offer — as one consolidated prompt — any combination of:

    • WIP commit — stage tracked changes and commit WIP: pause issue #<N> — <short note>. List untracked files separately and ask before including them.
    • Switch to default branch — detect default (prefer gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef -q .defaultBranchRef.name, else git symbolic-ref --quiet --short refs/remotes/origin/HEAD, else main) and run git switch <default>. Only after the WIP commit if the tree is dirty.
    • Stay put — leave branch and working tree untouched.
  5. Report. Summarize the status update, the issue-group moves, working-tree actions taken, and remind the user how to resume (running /iflow-capture <N> re-opens the archived issue after its archived-issue guard, or they can simply switch back to the issue branch).

Constraints

  • The focus issue's - [ ] Done checkbox must stay unchecked. /iflow-pause is not /iflow-close.
  • Do not delete branches. Do not git reset, git stash drop, or force-push.
  • Do not open a PR. Do not bump versions. Do not run tests.
