workato-project-structure

A set of rules for arranging Workato project files. Workato is a platform for connecting applications and automating workflows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when organizing Workato projects and deciding where each type of exported or generated file belongs.
Why use it?
It gives project assets consistent locations, making recipes, connections, pages, data tables, and other files easier to find and maintain.

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.

Per session 0 Nothing until a file matches its globs; then the whole rule loads.
When invoked 835 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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-project-structure 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 98 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Workato project directory structure

Organize a project's assets into per-kind subfolders.

projects/<project-name>/
├── .workatoenv                        # project config (auto-generated)

Files that belong at the project root

Keep these at the project root:

  • .workatoenv — Platform CLI configuration
  • *.lcap_app.json / *.lcap_app.png — Workflow App definition and icon

Mapping folder names to Workato

The local folder structure is reflected on Workato by workato push. The zip_name and folder fields inside each JSON must include the folder path:

{
  "zip_name": "Recipes/my_recipe.recipe.json",
  "name": "My recipe",
  "folder": "Recipes"
}

For files at the project root, leave folder: "".

Applying this to new projects

When /create-recipe, /create-workflow-app, or /create-genie generates new files, follow this layout and put each artifact in the right subfolder.

Reorganizing existing projects

Treat the result of workato pull as the source of truth. The safe path is to reorganize folders in the Workato UI first, then pull. If you move files locally instead, update every zip_name and folder reference.

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.

workato-project-structure is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository rkawaishi/workato-dev-kit (5 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 835 tokens. 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 2026-08-31.
