agentic-workflow

A risk-aware, evidence-based engineering lifecycle protocol for robust agentic task execution and safety.

What it does

The Agentic Workflow is a language-agnostic, risk-aware protocol designed to prevent the four most common AI agent failures: silent assumptions, scope creep, untested deployments, and credential leakage. It transforms vague requests into evidence-based execution by enforcing a multi-stage engineering lifecycle similar to a senior dev's mental model.

Why use this skill

Prompting an AI often results in "hallucinated" progress or unexpected side effects. This skill forces your agent to follow a structured discipline of research, planning, safety-gating, and verification. It is better than raw prompting because it includes built-in guardrails like cascading failure detection, secret scanning, and an absolute "never push" rule for production stability.

Supported tools

  • Development Environments: Works inside or outside Git worktrees with filesystem fallback.
  • Frameworks: Language-agnostic (Python, Go, Node, Rust, etc.).
  • CI/CD: Comprehensive verification matrices and rollback planning.
  • Safety: Integrated secret scanning and shell quoting safety protocols.

The Output

Instead of just code, you receive an audit-ready closure report including a Risk Class assessment, a Verification Matrix (Passed/Failed/Unstable), a Scope Check (Planned vs. Actual changes), and a Rollback Strategy. It ensures all work is staged, verified, and ready for human approval.

Use cases

  • Enforce risk-gated execution for complex codebase refactors.
  • Prevent credential leaks with mandatory safety-gate scanning during tasks.
  • Generate comprehensive verification matrices for all code changes.
  • Ensure structured, review-ready branch closures with rollback plans.

Example

Prompt

Implement the new auth middleware using the standard engineering workflow and verify all risks.

Output

## Verification
- Passed: Unit tests, linting
- Failed: 0
- Environment Delta: Node v18 -> v20
- Dependency Scan: Clean

## Summary Report
- Commits pending push: [a1b2c3d, e4f5g6h]
- Status: Verified & Awaiting human push. Agent did not push to remote.

Frequently asked questions

This skill is language-agnostic and functions effectively across Python, Go, Node.js, and more by utilizing filesystem-based protocols and standard shell environments.
