Design task-local harnesses, eval gates, and reusable skill extraction for Claude dynamic workflow mode and other adaptive agent harnesses.
Instinct-based learning system that observes sessions via hooks, creates atomic instincts with confidence scoring, and evolves them into skills/commands/agents. v2.1 adds project-scoped instincts to prevent cross-project contamination.
Orchestrate building a brand-new feature end to end — research, plan, TDD implementation, review, and gated commit — by delegating each phase to the matching ECC agent. Use when adding a capability that does not exist yet.
Orchestrate bootstrapping a working MVP from a design or spec document — ingest the doc, plan thin vertical slices, scaffold the first end-to-end slice, then TDD-implement, review, and gated commit. Use to turn an SDD/PRD into a running starting point.
Orchestrate altering an existing, working feature to new desired behavior — update its tests to the new spec, change the implementation to match, review, and gated commit. Use when behavior is not broken but should be different.
Orchestrate fixing a bug — reproduce it as a failing regression test, fix to green, review, and gated commit — by delegating each phase to the matching ECC agent. Use when existing behavior is broken or wrong.
Shared orchestration engine for the orch-* skill family. Defines the gated Research-Plan-TDD-Review-Commit pipeline, the size classifier, the agent map, and the two human gates that the orch-* operation skills delegate to. Not usually invoked directly.

Use this skill when a coding agent can generate or adapt a task-local harness instead of only following a static command flow. The goal is to turn dynamic workflow mode into a disciplined system: temporary harnesses for one-off work, shared skill extraction for repeated work, and observable control pane checkpoints for teams.
Dynamic workflow mode should produce a task-local harness only when the harness is cheaper and safer than manually driving the same steps. The harness must have:
Use this structure before writing code:
# Dynamic Workflow Harness
Objective:
- Ship:
- Do not ship:
Inputs:
- Repo or workspace:
- External systems:
- Credentials policy:
Loop:
1. Discover current state.
2. Generate or update the smallest useful artifact.
3. Run eval checks.
4. Record status and handoff.
5. Stop on failed gate, unclear ownership, or unsafe external action.
Eval:
- Command:
- Expected pass signal:
- Failure owner:
Handoff:
- Status:
- Evidence:
- Next action:
Promote a task-local harness into a shared skill only when at least two of these are true:
When extracting, write the skill first in skills/<name>/SKILL.md. Add command shims only if a legacy slash-entry surface is still required.
Dynamic workflow mode becomes team-usable when it exposes state. Record these checkpoints whenever the task spans more than one session:
If the repo has ECC2 state enabled, prefer adding or reading checkpoints through the ECC control pane or state-store-backed scripts instead of scattering untracked notes.
Every dynamic harness needs a task-specific eval. Pick the cheapest reliable gate:
| Work Type | Eval Gate |
|---|---|
| Code feature | Focused test, lint, coverage, and one integration path |
| UI/control pane | Browser smoke with screenshot and overflow/error checks |
| Agent workflow | Fixture transcript or seeded work item with expected routing |
| Research/content | Source-neutral brief, claim checklist, and publish-ready outline |
| Integration | Dry-run command, config validation, and no-secret scan |
Do not claim a dynamic workflow is reusable until the eval can be rerun by another teammate.
