At a glance

A skill your agent uses when projects or tasks need explicit state, WIP control, ownership, definitions of done, blocker handling, and verified closure.

  • Works in 7 steps: Rank work by objective impact, urgency,… → Limit ACTIVE to one or two items per… → Decompose the selected item until one… → …
  • Tasks need explicit state
  • SKILL.md covers Usage Template, Workflow, Failure Protocol and Output Contract, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Project Flow Ops is an agent skill from Mark393295827/third-brain-v7-skills. Use when projects or tasks need explicit state, WIP control, ownership, definitions of done, blocker handling, and verified closure.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: agent wiki +engineering skills. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks need explicit state
  • Definitions of done
  • Blocker handling
  • Verified closure

Example prompts

  • “/project-flow-ops”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Rank work by objective impact, urgency, dependency leverage, and cost of delay.
  2. Limit ACTIVE to one or two items per owner.
  3. Decompose the selected item until one bounded action can produce a reviewable artifact.
  4. For a blocker, record owner, missing condition, evidence, next probe, and review time; move independent work forward.
  5. Run the verification named in the definition of done.
  6. Move to COMPLETED only with a fresh receipt; otherwise keep ACTIVE or BLOCKED.
  7. At review, remove stale backlog items and state the next constraint.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5a64514. 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

Project Flow Ops loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 503 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~37
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

Project Flow Ops

<skill_contract> <input>Project objective, tasks, owners, dependencies, budgets, artifacts, current states, and definitions of done.</input> <output>A WIP-limited project state with ranked work, explicit blockers, bounded actions, and verified closure receipts.</output> <done>Every active item has one owner and observable artifact, and completion is backed by its named fresh verification.</done> <non_goals>Hidden WIP, duplicate ownership, status by intuition, backlog accumulation, or completion without evidence.</non_goals>

Maintain a small, inspectable project state machine: BACKLOG -> ACTIVE -> BLOCKED | COMPLETED. Optimize flow and verified outcomes, not task volume.

Usage Template

Provide: project objective, current tasks, owners, dependencies, time budget, artifacts, and definition of done. Optional: prior review receipts.

Workflow

<intake>

Normalize each item into {id, objective, owner, state, artifact, definition_of_done, budget, dependencies}. Reject duplicate ownership and distinguish waiting from active execution.

</intake>

<unknowns_gate>

If an active item lacks an owner, artifact, or observable definition of done, return NEEDS_INPUT. Probe the ambiguity with the largest impact on scheduling; do not guess priority from wording alone.

</unknowns_gate>

<execute>
  1. Rank work by objective impact, urgency, dependency leverage, and cost of delay.
  2. Limit ACTIVE to one or two items per owner.
  3. Decompose the selected item until one bounded action can produce a reviewable artifact.
  4. For a blocker, record owner, missing condition, evidence, next probe, and review time; move independent work forward.
  5. Run the verification named in the definition of done.
  6. Move to COMPLETED only with a fresh receipt; otherwise keep ACTIVE or BLOCKED.
  7. At review, remove stale backlog items and state the next constraint.
</execute>
<evaluate>

Check state-transition legality, WIP limits, ownership, artifact existence, and completion evidence. Use an independent check for consequential deliverables. If verification fails, reopen the item with the failure evidence and smallest corrective action.

</evaluate>

<state_contract>

Persist {run_id, status, attempt, budget, evidence, unknowns, last_error, next_action} plus project objective, task ledger, dependency map, WIP count, transition history, and receipts. Transitions are append-only events; current state is derived from the latest valid event.

</state_contract>

Failure Protocol

  • NEEDS_INPUT: ownership, priority boundary, or definition of done is missing.
  • BLOCKED_DEPENDENCY: execution cannot continue; preserve the blocker contract and review time.
  • VERIFY_FAILED: the artifact fails its named check; reopen rather than relabel completion.
  • NO_PROGRESS: two reviews produce no new evidence; reduce scope, change strategy, or escalate.
  • BUDGET_STOP: stop active work, persist state, and report the highest-value next action.

Output Contract

Return status, result (project board and transition decisions), evidence (artifacts and receipts), unknowns, and next_action with owner and review time.

Edge Cases

  • Everything is marked urgent: use cost of delay and dependency leverage, then force one explicit tradeoff.
  • A task is 90% complete but verification is unavailable: keep it active or blocked; never infer the final 10%.

Success Metrics

  • Active WIP remains within the declared limit.
  • Every completed task has an artifact and fresh verification receipt.
  • Blocked work names an owner, next probe, and review time.

Quality Gates

  • Every active task has one owner and bounded budget.
  • State transitions are legal and traceable.
  • Completion evidence is fresh and objective.
  • The next constraint is explicit after each review.
