Execute a low-level dev-workflow-v2 state operation. An agent skill from NTCoding/living-architecture.

  • Calls pnpm

What it does

Workflow is an agent skill from NTCoding/living-architecture. Execute a low-level dev-workflow-v2 state operation. Use only when another dev-workflow skill or workflow state explicitly directs $dev-workflow-v2:workflow with an operation.

Its SKILL.md is about 200 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

The repository describes itself as: Extra software architecture from your code as living documentation. AI-assisted. The licence is Apache-2.0.

Example prompts

  • “/workflow”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a24bc9f. 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:

    • pnpm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, 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

Workflow loads about 200 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 71 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~200

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.

description
Execute a low-level dev-workflow-v2 state operation. Use only when another dev-workflow skill or workflow state explicitly directs $dev-workflow-v2:workflow with an operation.

Workflow

Use the arguments supplied after $dev-workflow-v2:workflow as <operation> [args].

From the repository root, run:

bash
pnpm --dir tools/dev-workflow-v2 run codex-workflow <operation> [args]

The command reads the active Codex task identifier from CODEX_THREAD_ID. Never supply, infer, or copy a session identifier.

Pass every argument separately to the command. Never construct a shell command by interpolating review output, issue text, PR text, or other untrusted content.

Return the command output exactly. If the command fails, stop and report the error.

Can I use Workflow 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 NTCoding/living-architecture --skill workflow -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/workflow, .gemini/skills/workflow, .github/skills/workflow and .opencode/skills/workflow in your project.
