At a glance

This skill should be used when the user says "/ultrawork", "ultrawork", or wants to run the full specify → execute pipeline automatically with a single command.

  • Works in 4 steps: Parse User Request → Announce Ultrawork Mode → Invoke Specify → …
  • Says /ultrawork
  • SKILL.md covers How It Works, Your Role, Execution and User Interruption, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Ultrawork is an agent skill from team-attention/hoyeon. This skill should be used when the user says "/ultrawork", "ultrawork", or wants to run the full specify → execute pipeline automatically with a single command. Automated end-to-end workflow that chains specify and execute skills.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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: Requirements-first Harness — derive, verify, execute. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Says /ultrawork
  • Wants to run the full specify → execute pipeline automatically with a single command

Example prompts

  • “/ultrawork”
  • “ultrawork”
  • “/ultrawork”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob, Task, Write, Bash, Edit, Skill, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

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

  1. Parse User Request
  2. Announce Ultrawork Mode
  3. Invoke Specify
  4. Let Hooks Handle the Rest

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7cff032. 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
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Task
    • Write
    • Bash
    • Edit
    • Skill
    • AskUserQuestion

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).

    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

Ultrawork loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 421 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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.

/ultrawork Skill - Automated Development Pipeline

You are initiating an ultrawork session — a fully automated pipeline that chains:

  1. /specify — Systematic requirements derivation producing requirements.md
  2. /blueprint — Contract-first planning producing plan.json from requirements
  3. /execute — Reads plan.json, dispatches workers, and implements

How It Works

The ultrawork pipeline runs automatically through Stop hooks:

  • When specify finishes L4 with user approval → Hook triggers /execute {spec-path}
  • /execute then derives plan.json from the approved spec and runs tasks to completion
  • When all tasks complete → Pipeline ends

You don't need to manually trigger the next step — the hooks handle transitions.

v2 schema note

In spec-v2, spec.json contains only requirements + sub-requirements (with GWT) + verification journeys. It does not contain tasks[]. Task breakdown lives in a sibling plan.json derived by /execute. Ultrawork is just the glue: specify produces the spec, execute produces and runs the plan.

Your Role

  1. Extract the feature name from user's request
  2. Initialize ultrawork state (handled by UserPromptSubmit hook)
  3. Start the specify skill with the feature name
  4. Follow specify's layer flow normally (approve at L2, L3, L4)
  5. The rest happens automatically via hooks

Execution

Step 1: Parse User Request

Extract a short, kebab-case name for the feature:

  • "Add user authentication" → user-auth
  • "Implement payment processing" → payment-processing
  • "Fix login bug" → fix-login-bug

Note: State initialization is handled automatically by UserPromptSubmit hook (ultrawork-init-hook.sh).

Step 2: Announce Ultrawork Mode
Ultrawork Mode Activated

Feature: {name}
Pipeline: specify (spec.json v2) → execute (plan.json + run)

Starting specify L0...
Step 3: Invoke Specify
Skill("specify", args="{name}")

The specify skill will:

  1. L0: Goal mirror + confirmed_goal
  2. L1: Codebase research
  3. L2: Decisions + constraints (user approves)
  4. L3: Requirements + sub-requirements with GWT (user approves)
  5. L4: Verification journeys (user approves)
  6. Write approved spec.json at .hoyeon/specs/{name}/spec.json
Show full SKILL.md (154 more words)Show less
Step 4: Let Hooks Handle the Rest

After specify completes with an approved spec:

  • ultrawork-stop-hook.sh detects an approved spec.json (meta.approved_by populated)
  • Hook automatically injects /execute .hoyeon/specs/{name}/spec.json
  • /execute prompts (via AskUserQuestion) for dispatch/work/verify mode selections, derives plan.json, and runs tasks to completion

User Interruption

User can stop the pipeline at any time by saying:

  • "stop"
  • "pause"
  • "wait"

This will halt the current phase and await further instructions.

State Tracking

The hook tracks progress in .hoyeon/state.local.json:

json
{
  "session-id": {
    "ultrawork": {
      "name": "feature-name",
      "phase": "specify",
      "iteration": 0
    }
  }
}

Phases: specify → executing → done

Example Flow

User: "/ultrawork add dark mode support"

[Hook auto-initializes state for "dark-mode"]

[You]
1. Parse: feature name = "dark-mode"

2. Announce:
   Ultrawork Mode Activated
   Feature: dark-mode
   Pipeline: specify → execute
   Starting specify L0...

3. Invoke: Skill("specify", args="dark-mode")

[Specify L0→L1→L2(approve)→L3(approve)→L4(approve)]
[spec.json written and approved at .hoyeon/specs/dark-mode/spec.json]
[Hook detects approved spec → triggers "/execute .hoyeon/specs/dark-mode/spec.json"]
[/execute prompts for dispatch/work/verify, derives plan.json, runs tasks]
[All tasks completed]
[Pipeline ends]

Important Notes

  • State is auto-initialized by UserPromptSubmit hook — no manual setup needed
  • Do NOT manually call /execute — hooks handle this
  • Follow specify's layer flow — approve at L2/L3/L4 gates
  • spec.json has no tasks in v2 — /execute derives plan.json as a sibling file
  • Mode selection is interactive — /execute asks for dispatch/work/verify via AskUserQuestion (no CLI flags)
  • The pipeline is autonomous — just start it and let it run
  • User can interrupt at any time for manual control

Can I use Ultrawork 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 team-attention/hoyeon --skill ultrawork -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/ultrawork, .gemini/skills/ultrawork, .github/skills/ultrawork and .opencode/skills/ultrawork in your project.

What does Ultrawork need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Ultrawork is instructions for the agent only. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read, Grep, Glob, Task, Write, Bash, Edit, Skill, AskUserQuestion.

Does Ultrawork 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 Ultrawork safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Ultrawork use?

Ultrawork 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 Ultrawork use?

About 1.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
