Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads crank automatically when relevant.

Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

Crank
Crank executes exactly one wave. The caller selects the wave and the repair bound; crank runs that wave and returns what happened.
caller's wave + repair_rounds -> RPI per lane -> wave acceptance once -> evidence -> stop
Input
The caller supplies all three:
- The wave — a list of lanes, each with a write
scope, abrief, and its own executableacceptance. repair_rounds— the caller's repair bound, forwarded unchanged to every lane. Crank neither chooses it nor spends it.- The wave acceptance — the one command set that judges the wave as a whole.
If a lane arrives without a scope, a brief, or an executable acceptance, report the wave as unrunnable and stop. Crank does not shape the missing part itself.
Contract
- Read the caller's wave as given. Do not select, extend, drop, or re-rank lanes; the wave arrives already decided.
- Partition the lanes. Two lanes may run in parallel only when their write scopes are disjoint and their regen surfaces (generated outputs, mirrors, manifests) are disjoint. Any shared surface serializes them; unknown overlap counts as overlap.
- Invoke
rpionce per lane with that lane's intent, scope, acceptance, and the caller'srepair_rounds. Each lane's traversal owns its own repair loop. Crank never repairs a lane itself, never re-invokes a returned lane, and never re-plans one. - Run the wave acceptance once, after every lane has returned. A lane that
returned
FAILorNOT_PROVENdoes not suppress it; both results are reported side by side. - Return the wave evidence and stop — per-lane status
(
PASS | FAIL | NOT_PROVEN | NOT_PLANNED | NOT_BUILT), the open findings each lane's validator left keyed by theirfindings[].id, each lane's subject manifest digest, and the wave acceptance result.
Append no next action. The caller reads the evidence and decides whether there is another wave.
Boundary
Crank owns no wave selection, retry, budget, queue, claim, lease, Git, closure,
delivery, or next work, and it mints no verdict of its own. Every semantic
result in the wave evidence is the one that lane's fresh validator returned,
cited unchanged; a green wave acceptance is a fact, not a PASS.
Conveyor
In Claude, workflows/implement-wave.js
is one conveyor for step 3's parallel leg: it runs disjoint-ownership
implementers over the lanes the caller supplied. It is transport, never a
substitute for a lane's own fresh validation, and crank runs without it.
Prompt
Crank this wave, repair_rounds=2.
Lane A - scope cli/internal/gates/**, brief "add the probe-coverage gate row",
acceptance: cd cli && go test ./internal/gates/...
Lane B - scope docs/CI-CD.md, brief "document that gate row",
acceptance: bash scripts/docs-build.sh --check
Wave acceptance: bash tests/run-all.sh. Report per-lane evidence and stop.
It's working if
Observable in the trace, without reading the prose — and the rubric a fresh independent judge scores this skill against:
- The transcript shows exactly one
rpiinvocation per lane in the caller's wave, and no lane appears twice. - Two lanes that share a regen surface (both reaching
skills-codex/, say) run one after the other, never concurrently. - The wave acceptance command runs exactly once, after the last lane returns.
- The returned evidence carries a status and a subject manifest digest for every caller-supplied lane, and for no lane crank invented.
- The response ends with the evidence: no next wave, no
gitaction, and no proposed follow-up work.
FAQ
What does the crank skill do?
Execute one caller-selected wave by invoking RPI once per lane and return the wave evidence, then stop. Triggers: "crank", "execute the next wave", "run this wave".
How do I install crank?
Run npx skills add https://github.com/boshu2/agentops --skill crank in your project. The skills CLI detects the agents you use and copies the skill into the right folder. For Claude Code you can also place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/crank/ (personal) or .claude/skills/crank/ (project).
Which AI agents can use crank?
Any agent that supports the open Agent Skills format (a folder with a SKILL.md file), including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, OpenCode and more.
Is crank safe to install?
No partner security audit is available yet. Skills can run commands and scripts, so read the SKILL.md and any bundled files before installing.
Who maintains crank?
It is published by boshu2 in boshu2/agentops. It has 1,235 recorded installs.
