workflow-agent-spectrum-classifier

workflow-agent-spectrum-classifier is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AnthonyAlcaraz/agentic-graph-rag-skills. It costs 186 tokens per session (2,056 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A classifier that places an AI system on a spectrum from a fixed workflow to a more independent agent. It considers autonomy, ability to take action, authority, and how predefined the execution path is.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess workflows, coding agents, research systems, and mixed human-review processes, and return a score and category such as workflow, blended, or agent.
Why use it?
It replaces the unhelpful yes-or-no question of whether something is an agent with a more precise description of how independently it operates.

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-agent-spectrum-classifier 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (cli.py, lib.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Workflow-Agent Spectrum Classifier

Overview

Ch1 rejects "is it an agent or not" as the wrong question. Following Andrew Ng ("systems can be agent-like to different degrees") and Anthropic's workflow-vs-agent distinction, it places systems on a continuous spectrum:

  • Workflow end — "predefined execution paths: orchestrated sequences that follow explicit instructions." Reliable and deterministic, limited adaptability. Chapter examples: a FAQ generator, a fund-analysis app.
  • Agent end — systems that "determine processes dynamically, providing flexibility at the cost of predictability." Chapter examples: coding agents, deep research agents.
  • Blended middle — "deterministic workflows with nondeterministic LLMs inserted at key points," with humans in the loop where judgment is required. Chapter example: an investment firm's market-commentary report — the LLM retrieves, analyzes, and submits; humans review for compliance and submit to regulators.

The placement is grounded in the three dimensions of agency, which "exist on sliding scales, not as binary attributes":

  • Autonomy — degree of independent decision-making without external direction.
  • Action — ability to execute decisions that affect the environment. "Without this capability to effect change, you have an assistant or advisor, not an agent."
  • Authority — scope and limitations of permitted actions. (Ch1's real-estate-agent example: high autonomy to market a property, little authority over price.)

When a system operates across these dimensions, four capabilities emerge: autonomous decision-making, contextual understanding, strategic tool utilization, and memory persistence. The skill reports them alongside the band.

When to Use

  • Right-sizing an architecture: deterministic workflow vs blended human-in-the-loop vs full agent
  • Settling a "is this really an agent?" debate with a shared rubric
  • Auditing whether a "read-only advisor" is being over-sold as an agent (the action test)
  • Teaching the three agency dimensions with concrete placements

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-agent-spectrum-classifier is a skill published in the GitHub repository AnthonyAlcaraz/agentic-graph-rag-skills (10 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 186 tokens to every session and 2,056 once invoked, about $0.0009 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 2026-08-31.
