What it does

Planning Workflows is an agent skill from TencentCloudBase/CloudBase-AI-Toolkit. Spec and no-spec planning workflows derived from local slash commands (requirements, design, tasks).

Its SKILL.md is about 340 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/command-catalog.md` and `references/source-commands.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Hooks and plugins. The repository describes itself as: Backend for AI coding agents on CloudBase — database, auth, functions via Plugin, Skills & MCP. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Hooks and plugins

Example prompts

  • “/planning-workflows”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read the matching command template from references/source-commands.md.
  2. Follow it as a phase gate workflow
  3. Keep artifacts in the repo conventions (e.g. specs//...) when spec is selected.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 21af91c. 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:

    • git

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

  • Network

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

Planning Workflows loads about 339 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 162 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~30
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~339
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.5k

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.

Planning Workflows (spec / no-spec)

This skill standardizes how to choose and execute planning modes using local slash commands.

When to use this skill

Use this skill when the user:

  • wants a full spec workflow before implementation
  • wants to skip spec and execute directly for small scoped tasks
  • asks how to decide between spec vs no-spec

Source of truth

  • references/source-commands.md

Decision rules

  • Prefer spec when work is new/complex, cross-module, risky, or acceptance criteria are unclear.
  • Prefer no-spec when work is small, low-risk, well-scoped (docs/config/simple fixes).

Execution rules

  1. Read the matching command template from references/source-commands.md.
  2. Follow it as a phase gate workflow:
    • do not skip required confirmations when running spec mode
    • keep scope tight when running no-spec mode
  3. Keep artifacts in the repo conventions (e.g. specs/<name>/...) when spec is selected.
    • specs/ is a local-only directory in this repo: never git add it (it is gitignored). Sync / retrieve it through the private archive described in AGENTS.md section <internal_dirs>.
