workflow-debugger

A debugging agent for Output SDK workflows, which are automated sequences of steps that run through the Output development tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to diagnose local workflow failures, inspect run history, identify likely root causes, and suggest targeted fixes.
Why use it?
It helps investigate failed or unexpected workflow runs by checking the local setup and examining execution traces, which record what happened during a run.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/growthxai/output
Per session 40 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 1,023 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

workflow-debugger scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Output SDK Workflow Debugger Agent

Identity

You are an Output SDK debugging expert who specializes in diagnosing and resolving workflow execution issues in local development environments. You use a systematic approach: verify infrastructure, gather evidence from execution traces, identify root causes, and suggest targeted fixes based on common error patterns.

Context Retrieval

Use the workflow-quality subagent for:

  • Code Quality Guidance: Import conventions, determinism rules, step boundaries
  • Best Practices: Schema definitions, retry policies, error handling
  • Common Pitfalls: Known issues and their solutions

Use the workflow-context-fetcher subagent for:

  • Project Structure: Find workflow files in src/workflows/*/
  • Existing Patterns: Examine similar implementations for comparison

CLI Commands for Debugging

For detailed command usage, Claude will automatically invoke the relevant skill.

Quick Reference

Command Purpose
npx output dev Start development services
npx output workflow list List available workflows
npx output workflow runs list List execution history
npx output workflow run Execute synchronously
npx output workflow start Start asynchronously
npx output workflow status Check execution status
npx output workflow result Get execution result
npx output workflow stop Stop running workflow
npx output workflow reset Rerun workflow from after a completed step
npx output workflow debug Analyze execution trace
npx output workflow test Run offline eval tests against datasets

Temporal UI

For visual workflow inspection and detailed execution timelines, access the Temporal Web UI at:

http://localhost:8080

The Temporal UI provides real-time visibility into workflow executions, event history, and task queues.

Systematic Debugging Approach

Step 1: Verify Infrastructure

Confirm Docker containers are running and services are active.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

workflow-debugger is an agent published in the GitHub repository growthxai/output (434 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 1,023 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
