What it does

Sticky is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Use when the user wants to set auto-routing mode: on (every task-shaped message routes), auto (intent-verb messages route — default), or off (no auto-routing). Intent-detection runs by default; use this skill to expand to full sticky or disable entirely. Trigger with /hyperflow:sticky, "make hyperflow sticky", "stop using hyperflow", "is hyperflow sticky", "auto-route to hyperflow", "disable hyperflow auto-routing".

Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to set auto-routing mode: on (every task-shaped message routes)
  • Auto (intent-verb messages route — default)
  • Off (no auto-routing)
  • Expand to full sticky

Example prompts

  • “make hyperflow sticky”
  • “stop using hyperflow”
  • “is hyperflow sticky”
  • “/sticky”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash(rm:*), Bash(ls:*)

Workflow steps

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

  1. Chat-shaped messages (questions about prior output, "yes" / "no" answers to a pending gate, acknowledgments like "ok"/"thanks", short…
  2. Task-shaped messages (any verb-led request for new work: "add X", "fix Y", "refactor Z", "build", "implement", "create", "design", "scope…
  3. Bug reports ("X is broken", "Y test fails", "Z throws…") → invoke /hyperflow:trace.
  4. Review requests ("review this", "audit the diff", "any issues?") → invoke /hyperflow:audit.
  5. Ship intent ("ship it", "push", "release", "deploy") → invoke /hyperflow:deploy.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Bash(rm:*)
    • Bash(ls:*)

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Sticky loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 107 tokens; SKILL.md has 950 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~107
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.6k

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.

Sticky

Set per-project auto-routing mode. Three states:

StateDefault?Behavior
autoyes (when .sticky absent)Intent-detection routing — messages containing chain-starter verbs (audit, debug, fix, brainstorm, scope, deploy, review, …) auto-route. Pure conversation passes through.
on—Full sticky — every task-shaped message routes, even without explicit intent verbs
off—All auto-routing disabled — only explicit /hyperflow:* slash commands trigger chains

Intent-detection is the floor — the user gets it without any opt-in (the orchestrator scans every user message for chain-starter verbs and routes when matched). Sticky on raises the ceiling; sticky off lowers the floor.

Full doctrine: DOCTRINE.md Layer 1 auto-routing clause (intent verb taxonomy + routing contract + bypass patterns).

Subcommands

SubcommandDescription
onSet state: on — full sticky routing on every task-shaped message
autoSet state: auto — intent-verb routing only (the default)
offSet state: off — disable ALL auto-routing including intent detection
statusShow current state (on / auto / off / when toggled)

Default subcommand when none provided: status.

State persistence

Sticky state is stored at .hyperflow/.sticky (project-scoped, gitignored). File format:

state: on
since: 2026-05-17T14:30:00Z
trigger: user-mention   # or: explicit-toggle | session-default

The session-start hook reads this file and prints a one-line advisory when sticky is on (Sticky mode: ON since 2026-05-17 14:30 — task-shaped messages auto-route through hyperflow). Sticky persists across sessions until explicitly toggled off.

Subcommand Details

on

Write .hyperflow/.sticky with state: on + ISO-8601 timestamp + trigger: explicit-toggle. Print:

Sticky mode: ON (full routing)
Every task-shaped message now routes through hyperflow, even without intent verbs.
Disable with /hyperflow:sticky off · or relax to verb-only routing with /hyperflow:sticky auto.
auto

Write .hyperflow/.sticky with state: auto + timestamp. This is the default state when no file exists; explicitly setting it is useful after off to re-enable intent-detection without going to full sticky. Print:

Sticky mode: AUTO (intent-detection routing, default)
Messages containing chain-starter verbs (audit, debug, fix, brainstorm, scope, deploy, review, …) auto-route.
Pure conversation passes through. Expand to full routing with /hyperflow:sticky on.
off

Replace .hyperflow/.sticky contents with state: off + timestamp. (Keep the file rather than delete so the session-start hook can show recent history.) Print:

Sticky mode: OFF
All auto-routing disabled — even intent verbs (audit, debug, fix, brainstorm, …) will no longer route.
Use explicit /hyperflow:* invocations. Re-enable with /hyperflow:sticky auto or /hyperflow:sticky on.
status

Read .hyperflow/.sticky. Print one line:

Sticky mode: ON since 2026-05-17 14:30 (trigger: user-mention)

or:

Sticky mode: AUTO since 2026-05-17 14:30 (trigger: default · intent-detection routing)

or:

Sticky mode: OFF (last changed: 2026-05-16 09:12)

or, if file absent:

Sticky mode: AUTO (default · file not yet written · intent-detection routing active)

Behavioural contract

When sticky is ON, the orchestrator MUST follow this routing on every new user message:

  1. Chat-shaped messages (questions about prior output, "yes" / "no" answers to a pending gate, acknowledgments like "ok"/"thanks", short clarifications) — pass through normally, no chain routing.
  2. Task-shaped messages (any verb-led request for new work: "add X", "fix Y", "refactor Z", "build", "implement", "create", "design", "scope out", "decompose", "ship") — auto-route:
    • New work (whether the user asks what / should we or describes how and names concrete files / functions) → invoke /hyperflow:plan with the user's message as ARGUMENTS. Plan internally bounces past the design phase straight to decomposition when the request is already clear.
    • Existing task file referenced (e.g. "resume the auth task") → invoke /hyperflow:dispatch with the matching slug.
  3. Bug reports ("X is broken", "Y test fails", "Z throws…") → invoke /hyperflow:trace.
  4. Review requests ("review this", "audit the diff", "any issues?") → invoke /hyperflow:audit.
  5. Ship intent ("ship it", "push", "release", "deploy") → invoke /hyperflow:deploy.

The routing decision is made silently — print one short line (Routing to /hyperflow:plan (sticky mode) …) and invoke. Don't ask the user to confirm the routing (that would be an invented gate per DOCTRINE rule 8). The Step 0 chain-mode question still fires inside the routed skill.

Override: if the user message starts with / (any slash command) OR contains "without hyperflow" / "skip hyperflow" / "don't route" → bypass routing for that message; respond directly.

Activation triggers

Intent-detection routing (state: auto) is the default — active for every project without any user action. The orchestrator scans every user message for chain-starter verbs (per the DOCTRINE intent verb taxonomy) and routes when matched. No file write needed.

Upgrades and downgrades:

  1. Upgrade to full sticky (on):
    • Explicit: user runs /hyperflow:sticky on.
    • Implicit: user mentions the word "hyperflow" in a non-slash-command message AND .hyperflow/.sticky does not exist OR is auto. Orchestrator writes state: on · trigger: user-mention · since: <ISO-8601> and prints Sticky mode: ON (upgraded from auto, activated by mention). Disable with /hyperflow:sticky off.
  2. Downgrade to intent-only (auto): user runs /hyperflow:sticky auto.
  3. Disable entirely (off): user runs /hyperflow:sticky off. Disables intent detection too — only explicit /hyperflow:* slash commands route after this.

State is never silently changed by the orchestrator. Only the user's explicit /hyperflow:sticky <state> invocation (or the one-time implicit hyperflow-mention upgrade) modifies .hyperflow/.sticky.

Anti-patterns (when sticky is ON)

  • Asking the user "should I route this to hyperflow?" — that's an invented gate; the user already opted in via sticky
  • Skipping the Step 0 chain-mode question inside the routed skill — sticky controls routing, not gates
  • Routing chat-shaped messages — answering a question shouldn't fire a chain
  • Routing messages that start with / — those are explicit slash commands; honor them as-is
  • Echoing the routing decision as a long paragraph — one short line is enough (Routing to /hyperflow:plan (sticky mode) …)

Flow

  1. Parse subcommand from invocation (default: status).
  2. Read .hyperflow/.sticky (if absent, treat as empty).
  3. Execute subcommand: write the file (on / off) or print state (status).
  4. Print confirmation.

Overview

/hyperflow:sticky toggles per-project sticky-session routing. It does not itself perform routing — that's the orchestrator's behavioral contract when sticky is ON. This skill is the user-facing on/off switch and status reader.

Prerequisites

  • .hyperflow/ directory writable. If absent, the skill creates .hyperflow/ and writes .sticky inside.

Instructions

See Subcommands and Behavioural contract. Summary:

  1. Parse subcommand (default status).
  2. Read or write .hyperflow/.sticky per the chosen subcommand.
  3. Print one-line confirmation.

When sticky is ON, the orchestrator routes per the Behavioural contract on every subsequent user message — this skill itself isn't re-invoked, the contract lives in DOCTRINE.

Output

Single one-line status per subcommand (on / off / status). No multi-line output.

Error Handling

FailureBehavior
.hyperflow/ missingCreate the directory, then write .sticky.
.hyperflow/.sticky exists but malformedPrint one-line warning + treat as OFF. Backup the malformed file to .sticky.bak.
Invalid subcommand (not on/off/status)Print the valid subcommand list and exit.

Examples

Enable sticky mode
/hyperflow:sticky on

Sticky mode: ON
Task-shaped messages now auto-route through /hyperflow:plan (which bounces straight to decomposition when the design is clear).
Chat-shaped messages (questions, answers, acknowledgments) still pass through normally.
Disable with /hyperflow:sticky off.
Sticky activates from a casual mention
You: hey, let's use hyperflow for the next feature
[orchestrator: detects "hyperflow" mention, .hyperflow/.sticky doesn't exist yet]
Sticky mode: ON (activated by mention)
Task-shaped messages now auto-route. Disable with /hyperflow:sticky off.

You: add a search bar to the dashboard with debounced input
[orchestrator: task-shaped, clear request → routes to /hyperflow:plan]
Routing to /hyperflow:plan (sticky mode) …
Check status
/hyperflow:sticky status

Sticky mode: ON since 2026-05-17 14:30 (trigger: user-mention)
Bypass for one message
You: without hyperflow, just tell me what hooks.json controls
[orchestrator: contains "without hyperflow" → bypass for this message]
hooks.json declares the session lifecycle hooks the plugin registers with Claude Code…
Disable sticky
/hyperflow:sticky off

Sticky mode: OFF
Task-shaped messages will no longer auto-route. Use explicit /hyperflow:* invocations.

Sticky is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Use when the user wants to set auto-routing mode: on (every task-shaped message routes), auto (intent-verb messages route — default), or off (no auto-routing).

When should I use Sticky?

Sticky fits situations like: the user wants to set auto-routing mode: on (every task-shaped message routes); auto (intent-verb messages route — default); off (no auto-routing); expand to full sticky.

How do I install Sticky in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace --skill sticky -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/ai-agency/hyperflow/skills/sticky in jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace) into .claude/skills/sticky in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Sticky in Codex?

Run `npx skills add jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace --skill sticky -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/ai-agency/hyperflow/skills/sticky in jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace) into .agents/skills/sticky in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Sticky in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace --skill sticky -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/sticky, .gemini/skills/sticky, .github/skills/sticky and .opencode/skills/sticky in your project.

What does Sticky need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Sticky is instructions for the agent only. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash(rm:*), Bash(ls:*). Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code.

Does Sticky access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Sticky safe to install?
