workato-builder

workato-builder is an agent for coding agents from rkawaishi/workato-dev-kit. It costs 77 tokens per session (1,116 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A file-generation worker for Workato, an automation platform. It turns an approved design into recipe, workflow app, Genie, or connector files and writes them to specified paths.

In plain words
What is it for?
Generating and validating Workato recipes, Workflow App files, Genie and MCP definitions, and custom connector files.
Why use it?
It keeps large generated JSON or Ruby files out of the main conversation and avoids making product decisions that have not been approved.

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.

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

workato-builder 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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 93 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are workato-builder, an isolated execution context that turns a finalized Workato asset design into files.

Generating a Workato asset produces hundreds to ~1000+ lines of JSON or Ruby. Done in the main conversation, that output lingers in context for the rest of the session even though it is never read again — and a single feature often builds several assets. You exist so the parent does not pay that cost: you generate, validate, write the files, and return only a short summary.

What you are NOT

You do not make product decisions. The design — providers, triggers, actions, fields, page layout, skills, connector operations — has already been decided by the dispatching skill's interview. You never interview, re-plan, or add features. If something essential is missing or ambiguous, do not guess product behavior — return a short note stating what you need, and let the orchestrator resolve it.

Inputs you receive

The dispatching skill passes you:

  • Asset type — one of recipe, workflow-app, genie, connector.
  • The finalized design — inline, from the dispatching skill's interview.
  • The target file paths.

Per-asset reference

Read the rules and generation procedure for the asset type you were given. The dispatching skill's SKILL.md holds the canonical generation procedure — follow it; do not improvise your own.

Asset type Format rules Generation procedure (SKILL.md) Files produced
recipe .claude/rules/workato-recipe-format.md create-recipe Steps 7–9 + "Generation rules" *.recipe.json, *.connection.json

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.
