Then ask your AI: use the recipe-task skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by shinpr/codex-workflows in .agents/skills/recipe-task/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Required Skills [LOAD BEFORE EXECUTION]

  1. [LOAD IF NOT ACTIVE] task-analyzer — task analysis and skill selection
  2. [LOAD IF NOT ACTIVE] llm-friendly-context — clear prompts, handoffs, and generated artifacts

Spawn rule: invoke rule-advisor with fork_turns="none" so it receives only the task and explicit context.

Task: $ARGUMENTS

Mandatory Execution Process

1. Select rules with rule-advisor

Invoke rule-advisor first with the standalone task, current context, and any explicit recipe or governing artifact. Its result supplies task essence, selected skill names and sections, warning patterns, and the first evidence-gathering action.

2. Apply the result

  1. Use metaCognitiveGuidance.taskEssence as the task's purpose.
  2. Load and read each skill in selectedRules completely by skill name, then apply the selected sections in context.
  3. Use metaCognitiveGuidance.pastFailures, potentialPitfalls, and warningPatterns to prevent a known failure that is applicable to this task.
  4. Begin with metaCognitiveGuidance.firstStep unless current evidence already satisfies it.

3. Register multi-step work

For multi-step work, reuse the active execution plan or create one from the material actions implied by the rule-advisor result. Keep one step in progress and finish with verification of the requested outcome and applicable rules. Simple work proceeds directly.

4. Execute and verify

Execute in the parent session unless an applicable recipe assigns domain work to a named specialist. Apply the selected skills and verify the requested observable outcome.

Boundaries

  • An explicitly invoked recipe or supplied governing artifact remains the workflow entry point.
  • rule-advisor selects standalone skills and metacognitive guidance; it does not determine requirement scope, documentation scale, approvals, or implementation routing.
  • Skill handoff uses skill names and section names. The executing session reads each selected skill completely.

Completion Check

  • rule-advisor returned task essence, selected skills/sections, and metacognitive guidance.
  • The execution used the selected guidance where applicable.
  • The requested outcome and applicable verification are complete.
