Why three skills together#
/intent-harden is the orchestrator — a five-phase workflow (Expand · Compress · Visualize · Stress-test · Realign). Phases 1 and 2 explicitly invoke the other two skills as sub-routines:
- Phase 1 EXPAND →
/grill-medrives the design tree to surface every silent decision. - Phase 2 COMPRESS →
/linear-independencecollapses the grill output to the smallest set of truly independent decisions.
All three ship together in the task-workflow plugin, so /intent-harden always finds its two sub-routines.
Install (one plugin)#
Everything on this site installs from a single plugin — no curl, no shell. Paste these into Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add blakesims/task-workflow-plugin
/plugin install task-workflow@task-workflow-marketplace
/reload-plugins/reload-plugins activates it in the current session — no restart needed. Or use the Copy install button above to hand the whole job to your agent.
After install: invoke with /task-workflow:intent-harden, /task-workflow:grill-me, or /task-workflow:linear-independence.
The three skills#
/intent-harden#
Stress-test and tighten an intent contract before planning. Composes /grill-me + /linear-independence and adds Visualize / Stress-test / Realign.
/grill-me#
Interview relentlessly about every branch of the design tree until shared understanding is reached. Recommends an answer for every question.
/linear-independence#
Reduce questions to the smallest set of truly independent decisions. Cuts cognitive load when you're managing many agents at once.
Using one skill on its own#
The plugin namespaces every skill, so each is individually invocable — /task-workflow:grill-me works standalone without running the full workflow. The source files below stay readable and curl-able for review.
