Execute development work from a plan or prompt with a structured, test-first workflow and optional Codex delegation for automated implementation.
CE Work (Beta) automates execution of coding work described by a plan document or a bare prompt. It guides the agent through triage, environment setup, task breakdown, test discovery, incremental commits, and quality checks. The beta variant adds optional Codex delegation for token-efficient delegated code implementation.
Use this skill when you have a design or implementation plan (markdown or spec) or a concise prompt describing a coding task. It's designed for features, bug fixes, and refactors where maintaining tests, commit hygiene, and merge safety matter. Use delegate:codex to trial the Codex delegation mode.
references/ directoryInferred compatibility: Claude Code (primary), Codex (delegation mode), Cursor; usable patterns for other agent harnesses that support worktree isolation or subagent dispatch.
The ce-work-beta skill has been removed from its source repo (replaced by ce-work). The SKILL.md body was null in the DB fetch, and the original GitHub path returns 404. Based on the current ce-work skill content (same lineage), this is an extensive, well-structured engineering workflow skill with phased execution, cross-model delegation, and robust parallelism guards. No security issues found — no remote code execution, no credential leaks, no destructive commands without guards. The skill is niche, targeting Compound Engineering plugin users specifically.
The original ce-work-beta slug is stale — the skill has been superseded by ce-work in the same repo. Consider updating the DB entry to point to the current skill path. The skill content itself is thorough and well-architected with clear security-conscious practices (never commit to default branch without permission, parallel safety checks, bounded authority for subagents).
