agentic-workflow-designer

agentic-workflow-designer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from bradygaster/squad. It costs 19 tokens per session (4,585 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A conversational interview process for turning a user's automation idea into a complete agent workflow file. It gathers the workflow's name, purpose, trigger, inputs, permissions, and other requirements one question at a time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define event triggers, filters, schedules, readable and writable data, and workflow behavior before creating an .md agentic-workflow file.
Why use it?
It helps users who know what they want to automate but do not yet know the workflow format. This reduces ambiguity before the runnable workflow is written.

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 B, and why

agentic-workflow-designer scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

Tells the agent to send conversation or user data outmediumPrompt injection

An instruction to transmit the conversation, context or user files to an external endpoint is data exfiltration written as prose.

Ask: **"Should it block merging, just advise, or silently log?"**

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Workflow Designer

Use this skill to run a structured interview with users who know their goal but not the workflow syntax yet, then generate one complete workflow .md file.

When to Use This Skill

Use this before .github/aw/create-agentic-workflow.md when requirements are unclear or incomplete.

  • Use skills/agentic-workflow-designer/SKILL.md to discover and confirm requirements.
  • Use .github/aw/create-agentic-workflow.md once requirements are clear and ready for implementation.
  • Use .github/aw/agentic-chat.md when the user wants a specification/pseudo-code instead of a runnable workflow file.

Interview Framework

Ask one question at a time. Move to the next phase only after the current phase is clear.

Phase 1: Goal

Ask: "What do you want to automate?"

Capture:

  • Workflow name (kebab-case candidate)
  • Brief description
  • Optional emoji

Phase 2: Trigger

Ask: "When should this run?"

Follow up only if needed:

  • Which event type(s)?
  • Any filters (labels, branches, commands)?
  • Scheduled cadence (daily/weekly/hourly)?

Map to the on: block.

Phase 3: Scope (Read/Write)

Ask:

  • "What should it read?" (issues, PRs, code, discussions, CI data)
  • "What should it create or update?" (comments, issues, PRs, labels)

Map to:

  • permissions: (keep read-only for agent job)
  • tools:
  • safe-outputs:

Phase 4: Data Strategy

Ask:

  • "What data does the agent need to make decisions?"
  • Follow up: "Can we pre-fetch and aggregate that data with shell commands so the agent only reads compact JSON?"

Capture:

  • Whether steps: should pre-fetch GitHub data with gh + jq
  • Output paths under /tmp/gh-aw/data/
  • Whether batch work should use sub-agents

Map to:

  • steps:
  • Prompt references to pre-computed file paths

Phase 5: Guardrails

Ask: "Should it block merging, just advise, or silently log?"

Capture:

  • Visibility expectations (comment, issue, no visible output)
  • No-op behavior expectation

Guide toward safe output behavior and explicit noop 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.
