At a glance

Execute one bounded CCB work item and report evidence without changing workflow authority.

  • Agent Workflows work in your project
  • SKILL.md covers Inputs and Output
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Bounded Work Item is an agent skill from SeemSeam/claude_codex_bridge. Execute one bounded CCB work item and report evidence without changing workflow authority.

Its SKILL.md is about 130 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 Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: Visible multi-agent CLI workspace for mixing Codex, Claude, Gemini, Kimi, Qwen, Cursor, Copilot, Pi, OpenCode, and other AI coding agents.

When your agent uses it

  • Agent Workflows work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/bounded-work-item”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 721be82. 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

Bounded Work Item loads about 129 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 46 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~129

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 46 words (~129 tokens).

“Use this skill when orchestrator assigns a single work node.”
