Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/parcadei/continuous-claude-v3 --skill agentic-workflow
  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads agentic-workflow automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

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

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

Agentic Workflow Pattern

Standard multi-agent pipeline for implementation tasks.

Architecture Principles

  • Use run_in_background: true for all agents to keep main context minimal
  • Use Task tool (never TaskOutput) to avoid receiving full agent transcripts
  • Agents write outputs to .claude/cache/agents/<stage>/ for injection into subsequent agents
  • Main conversation is pure orchestration — no heavy lifting, only coordination

Workflow Stages

1. Research Agent

Task(subagent_type="oracle", run_in_background=true, prompt="""
Query NIA Oracle (via /nia-docs skill) to verify approach and gather best practices.

Output to: .claude/cache/agents/oracle/<task>-research.md
""")
  • Enforce NIA as the research layer
  • Output: Research findings

2. Planning Agent

Task(subagent_type="plan-agent", run_in_background=true, prompt="""
Read: .claude/cache/agents/oracle/<task>-research.md
Use RP-CLI to analyze the target codebase section.
Generate implementation plan informed by research.

Output to: .claude/cache/agents/plan-agent/<task>-plan.md
""")
  • Receives: Research agent output as context
  • Output: Implementation plan

3. Validation Agent

Task(subagent_type="validate-agent", run_in_background=true, prompt="""
Read: .claude/cache/agents/plan-agent/<task>-plan.md
Read: .claude/cache/agents/oracle/<task>-research.md
Review plan against research findings and best practices.

Output to: .claude/cache/agents/validate-agent/<task>-validated.md
""")
  • Reviews plan against research
  • Output: Validated plan with amendments

4. Implementation Agent

Task(subagent_type="agentica-agent", run_in_background=true, prompt="""
Read: .claude/cache/agents/validate-agent/<task>-validated.md
Read: .claude/cache/agents/oracle/<task>-research.md

TDD approach: Write failing tests FIRST, then implement.
Run tests to verify.

Output summary to: .claude/cache/agents/implement-agent/<task>-implementation.md
""")
  • Receives: Validated plan + research context
  • TDD: Failing tests first
  • Output: Implementation + tests

5. Review Agent

Task(subagent_type="review-agent", run_in_background=true, prompt="""
Read: .claude/cache/agents/implement-agent/<task>-implementation.md
Read: .claude/cache/agents/validate-agent/<task>-validated.md
Read: .claude/cache/agents/oracle/<task>-research.md

Cross-reference implementation against plan and research.
Run tests to confirm passing.

Output to: .claude/cache/agents/review-agent/<task>-review.md
""")
  • Cross-references all artifacts
  • Confirms tests pass
  • Output: Review summary

Agent Progress Monitoring

# Watch for system reminders:
# "Agent a42a16e progress: 6 new tools used, 88914 new tokens"

# Poll for output files:
find .claude/cache/agents -name "*.md" -mmin -5

# Check task file size growth:
wc -c /tmp/claude/.../tasks/<id>.output

Stuck detection:

  1. Progress reminders stop arriving
  2. Task output file size stops growing
  3. Expected output file not created after reasonable time

Directory Structure

.claude/cache/agents/
├── oracle/
│   └── <task>-research.md
├── plan-agent/
│   └── <task>-plan.md
├── validate-agent/
│   └── <task>-validated.md
├── implement-agent/
│   └── <task>-implementation.md
└── review-agent/
    └── <task>-review.md

Key Rules

  1. Never use TaskOutput - floods context with 70k+ token transcripts
  2. Always run_in_background=true - isolates agent context
  3. File-based handoff - each agent reads previous agent's output file
  4. Poll, don't block - check file system for outputs, don't wait
  5. TDD in implementation - failing tests first, then make them pass

FAQ

What does the agentic-workflow skill do?

Agentic Workflow Pattern

How do I install agentic-workflow?

Run npx skills add https://github.com/parcadei/continuous-claude-v3 --skill agentic-workflow 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/agentic-workflow/ (personal) or .claude/skills/agentic-workflow/ (project).

Which AI agents can use agentic-workflow?

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 agentic-workflow 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 agentic-workflow?

It is published by parcadei in parcadei/continuous-claude-v3. It has 565 recorded installs.

google-agents-cli-publish

google/agents-cli

This skill should be used when the user wants to "publish an agent", "publish my ADK agent", "register an agent with Gemini", "publish to Gemini" (formerly Gemini Enterprise), or needs guidance on the agents-cli publish gemini command. Also use when the user wants to "manage agents in Agent Registry", "list/update/delete registered agents", or "register an MCP server". Covers ADK vs A2A registration modes, programmatic and interactive usage, flag reference, auto-detection from deployment metadata, Agent Registry fleet management, and troubleshooting. Part of the agents-cli skills suite. Do NOT use for deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy).

google-agents-cli-eval

google/agents-cli

This skill should be used when the user wants to "run an evaluation", "evaluate my agent", "evaluate my ADK agent", "write an eval dataset", "analyze eval failures", "compare eval results", "optimize agent", or needs guidance on the Gemini platform eval methodology and the Quality Flywheel. Covers eval metrics, dataset schema, LLM-as-judge scoring, and common failure causes. Applies to any agents-cli project, whatever framework the agent is written in. Do NOT use for agent API code patterns (ADK: use google-agents-cli-adk-code), deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy), or project scaffolding (use google-agents-cli-scaffold).

codex-pet

prime-skills/runcomfy-agent-skills

Codex Pet generator on RunComfy. Build a Codex-compatible Codex Pet spritesheet.webp + pet.json from a single reference image, drop it into ${CODEXHOME:-$HOME/.codex}/pets/ / and Codex picks it up as a custom Codex Pet next to the 8 built-ins. This skill produces the exact Codex Pet atlas Codex expects (1536x1872 PNG/WebP, 8 cols x 9 rows, 192x208 cells, 9 animation states — idle, running-right, running-left, waving, jumping, failed, waiting, running, review). Calls OpenAI GPT Image 2 edit ONCE via the local RunComfy CLI as runcomfy run openai/gpt-image-2/edit to produce a canonical Codex Pet pose, then assembles all 9 animation rows programmatically with ImageMagick micro-transforms — no Codex Pro, no $imagegen, no OPENAIAPIKEY required, only RUNCOMFYTOKEN. Triggers on "codex pet", "create codex pet", "make codex pet", "hatch codex pet", "/hatch image", "desktop pet codex", "codex pets", "spritesheet.webp", or any explicit ask to build a custom pet for OpenAI Codex.
