What problem does it solve? Workflow-based Claude Code skills often fail in execution because of vague descriptions, unnumbered phases, monolithic SKILL.md files, and tool-call patterns that do not scale. This Skill provides structural patterns, anti-pattern catalogs, and review checklists so skills activate correctly and execute reliably. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Five Workflow Patterns: Routing, Sequential Pipeline, Linear Progression, Safety Gate, and Task-Driven patterns with structural skeletons and decision trees for choosing between them. - Anti-Pattern Catalog: Twenty documented anti-patterns (AP-1 through AP-20) with before/after fixes covering structure, workflow design, tool assignment, and scalability. - Progressive Disclosure Rules: The 500-line rule, one-level-deep linking, and sizing guidelines for splitting content between SKILL.md, references/, and workflows/. - Use Case: When building a security audit skill with multiple analysis phases, use the 6-phase design workflow to define scope, pick the Safety Gate pattern, assign least-privilege tools, and self-review against the submission checklist. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to design a new workflow skill for your task domain and follow the six-phase creation process from scope definition to self-review.
