archagent-build-workflow

archagent-build-workflow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ArchAstro/archagents. It costs 87 tokens per session (2,235 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of build-workflow, MIT.

A guide for creating and deploying workflows in ArchAstro. A workflow is a multi-step process that can include branches, loops, web requests, scripts, approvals, or scheduled runs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build or change automated processes triggered by a schedule, webhook, manual action, or message event, then attach them to agent routines.
Why use it?
It helps define what starts a process, which agent runs it, and whether the workflow is new or an update to an existing one.

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

archagent-build-workflow 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 4d 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.

Origin

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 275 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ArchAstro Workflow Builder

Create, edit, and deploy workflows — multi-step processes that agents execute via routines.

This skill assumes the ArchAgent CLI is already installed and authenticated. Install or upgrade archagent if missing, and run archagent auth login <email> if not authenticated.

What is a Workflow?

A workflow is a directed graph of nodes that defines a multi-step process. Use the dedicated top-level workflow resource for authoring: archagent list workflows, describe workflow, create workflow, update workflow, validate workflow, and describe workflowdocs. Workflows are then attached to agent routines for execution.

Always Start with State

Every invocation must begin by understanding the current context:

archagent auth status
archagent list agents

Determine:

  • Which agent will run this workflow?
  • Is this a new workflow or an update to an existing one?
  • What trigger should start it? (schedule, webhook, manual, message event)

Routing

Workflow commands not exposed in the current archagent build

The source tree has dedicated top-level workflow commands, but some archagent builds may not expose them yet. Verify first:

archagent list workflows
archagent describe workflowdocs

If those commands are unavailable, do not keep insisting on them. Fall back to the config-managed workflow path and explain that the dedicated workflow resource exists in source but is not wired into the current binary.

User wants to create a new workflow

Phase 1: Gather requirements

Understand the workflow before writing any config:

  • What triggers it? (cron schedule, webhook, message, manual)
  • What are the steps? (in plain language)
  • Are there branches or conditions?
  • Does it need to call external APIs?
  • Does it need to send emails, Slack messages, or other notifications?
  • Does it loop over a collection?

Discover available events to understand what can trigger the workflow and what data the trigger provides:

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.
