What it does

Change Workflow is an agent skill from owent/libatbus. Use when: diagnosing or fixing a defect, test/build/runtime failure, or planning and implementing a nontrivial feature, behavior change, cross-module refactor, public API/ABI, data model/migration, security, or deployment change. Do not use when: only making a small documentation, formatting, comment, or routine local edit with a clear verification path.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/upstream-methods.md`).

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: 用于搭建高性能、全异步、树形结构的BUS消息系统的跨平台框架库. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Fixing a defect
  • Test/build/runtime failure
  • Planning and implementing a nontrivial feature
  • Behavior change

Example prompts

  • “/change-workflow”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Route and discover
  2. Keep one change contract
  3. Execute from evidence
  4. Verify and close

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d46c04d. 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

Change Workflow loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 601 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~93
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.8k

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.

Do not use when: only making a small documentation, formatting, comment, or routine local edit with a clear verification path.

Change Workflow

Apply a risk-scaled, repository-native workflow. Do not create OpenSpec or Superpowers directories, invoke their commands, or claim to use them unless the current checkout and harness prove that integration exists.

1. Route and discover

  • Inspect the exact code path, tests, generated inputs, configuration, recent relevant changes, and current failure or behavior before choosing a solution. Separate evidence from assumptions.
  • For a defect, reproduce the original symptom and identify the first causal boundary before editing.
  • For a nontrivial or high-risk change, establish a reviewable change contract before implementation.
  • When requirements or architecture remain materially ambiguous after source inspection, explore read-only first. Ask only the focused question needed to unblock a consequential choice, compare two or three viable approaches with a recommendation, and obtain approval before taking a materially different or irreversible path.

2. Keep one change contract

  • Reuse the repository's existing issue, specification, ADR, roadmap item, design file, or active task plan. Create a new persistent artifact only when repository policy, review/handoff needs, or the user's request requires one.
  • Record only what the change needs: intent and verified current behavior; in-scope and out-of-scope work; affected consumers; added, modified, or removed behavior with concrete acceptance scenarios; design decisions and constraints; ordered tasks; compatibility and rollback; and commands that will produce acceptance evidence.
  • Keep the contract current when implementation reveals a false assumption, changed dependency, or invalid design. Do not let code silently diverge from the agreed behavior.
  • If a verified openspec/ adoption exists, use its current change artifacts as the sole contract and follow the live profile and commands. Do not duplicate that contract elsewhere or initialize/update OpenSpec without authorization.
  • If verified Superpowers skills are available, use them for execution discipline; they do not replace or duplicate the authoritative change contract. Follow the installed version rather than remembered commands.

3. Execute from evidence

  • Debug systematically: read the full error, reproduce consistently, trace inputs and state across component boundaries, compare with a working path, state one root-cause hypothesis, and test one variable at a time.
  • After three failed fix hypotheses, stop stacking patches and re-evaluate the architecture or missing evidence with the user before another implementation attempt.
  • For behavior changes and defects, prefer RED-GREEN-REFACTOR: add the smallest regression or acceptance test, run it and confirm it fails for the intended reason, implement the minimum change, run it green, then refactor while staying green. If test-first is impractical for generated, configuration-only, or environment-dependent work, state why and define an observable alternative check before editing.
  • Work in small dependency-ordered batches. After each batch, review contract compliance first and code quality second; update the contract before continuing if discoveries change scope or design.
  • Load local engineering-guidelines, testing, and build Skills for their domain-specific rules and commands instead of duplicating them here.

4. Verify and close

  • Map every acceptance scenario to fresh evidence. Re-run the original symptom, then focused tests, affected integration tests, build/lint checks, and broader regression coverage in proportion to risk.
  • Before any completion claim, identify the proving command, run it fully, read the exit status and failure/skip counts, and report the actual result. A silent, skipped, stale, or partial run is not green evidence.
  • Inspect the final diff and status for scope, accidental generated output, unrelated formatting, and staging boundaries.
  • Reconcile durable behavior and design decisions into the repository's long-lived source of truth. Retire temporary artifacts only when repository policy or user scope calls for it; use the verified archive flow if OpenSpec is active.
  • Report verified behavior, commands and results, deliberate gaps, and remaining risks without overstating confidence.

Reference

  • Read upstream methods only when verifying or changing OpenSpec/Superpowers adoption, integration, or policy.

Can I use Change 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 owent/libatbus --skill change-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/change-workflow, .gemini/skills/change-workflow, .github/skills/change-workflow and .opencode/skills/change-workflow in your project.

What does Change Workflow need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Change Workflow is instructions for the agent only.

Does Change Workflow 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 Change Workflow safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Change Workflow use?

Change Workflow is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Change Workflow use?

About 1.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 607 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
