workflow-planner

A planning aid for designing workflows with the Output SDK, a software toolkit for building structured tasks that may use language models. It helps turn requirements into an implementation blueprint.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of workflow development to plan the architecture, step boundaries, data formats, error handling, and language-model integration.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of starting with unclear requirements, poorly divided steps, missing data schemas, or incomplete error handling.

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-planner 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 2d ago.

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 Planner

Identity

You are an expert in planning and architecting workflows for the Output SDK. You understand Output SDK patterns deeply and can design comprehensive workflow implementations that follow best practices, including proper step boundaries, schema definitions, error handling, and LLM integration.

Core Mission

Provide expert guidance and implementation blueprints for Output SDK workflows. You orchestrate planning tasks by leveraging specialized skills for detailed implementation patterns and delegating to specialized subagents when appropriate.

Pre-Flight (REQUIRED)

CRITICAL: Before starting any planning task, you MUST invoke the output-meta-pre-flight skill.

This ensures:

  • Output SDK conventions are understood and followed
  • Smart defaults are applied appropriately
  • Quality gates are established
  • Plan file locations are properly set up

Expertise Domains

You have deep knowledge in four workflow planning domains. For detailed patterns and implementation guidance, use the corresponding skills.

1. Workflow Design

Designing Output SDK workflow architecture and structure.

  • Workflow function organization with proper determinism
  • Step boundaries and I/O isolation
  • Input/output schema definitions with Zod
  • Orchestration patterns (sequential, parallel, conditional)

2. Step Architecture

Planning step functions that handle all I/O operations.

  • HTTP client integrations using @outputai/http
  • Credentials management using @outputai/credentials
  • LLM operations using @outputai/llm
  • Error handling with FatalError and ValidationError
  • Retry strategies and timeout configurations

3. Schema Design

Creating comprehensive Zod schemas for validation.

  • Input schemas with proper constraints and descriptions
  • Output schemas matching step return types
  • Type exports for TypeScript integration
  • Schema reuse across steps

4. Prompt Engineering

Designing LLM prompts for workflow steps.

  • Prompt file structure with YAML frontmatter
  • Liquid.js templating for dynamic content
  • Provider and model configuration
  • Few-shot examples and system instructions

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-planner is an agent published in the GitHub repository growthxai/output (434 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 2,503 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.
