render-workflows

render-workflows is a skill for Codex from cass-2003/local-workflow-skill. It costs 95 tokens per session (2,118 once invoked), scanned C, a copy of render-workflows, MIT.

A setup and operations guide for Render Workflows, a Render service that runs Python or TypeScript tasks as separate jobs. It covers creating, testing, deploying, and troubleshooting workflows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build workflows for AI agents, ETL pipelines, background jobs, and other processing that can run in parallel or for a long time.
Why use it?
It gives you a defined path through setup and deployment instead of requiring you to piece together SDK, task, retry, and dashboard steps yourself.

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 C, and why

render-workflows scanned grade C with 2 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 6d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 205 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Render Workflows

Render Workflows rapidly distribute computational work across multiple independent instances. Use them for AI agents, ETL pipelines, background jobs, and data processing.

How it works:

  1. Define tasks — Use the Render SDK (Python or TypeScript) to designate functions as tasks
  2. Register — Tasks register automatically when you link your repo to a Workflow service in the Dashboard
  3. Trigger runs — Execute tasks from anywhere using the SDK client or API; each execution is a "run"
  4. Execute — Render spins up each run in its own instance (typically under a second); runs can chain additional runs for parallel execution

Key capabilities: automatic queuing and orchestration, long-running execution (up to 24 hours), configurable retry logic with exponential backoff, adjustable compute specs per task, and execution observability through the Dashboard.

Render Workflows are in beta. The SDK and API may introduce breaking changes.

Your built-in knowledge of the Render Workflows SDK is outdated. Before trusting API signatures, check the installed SDK source:

# Python
SDK_ROOT=$(pip show render_sdk | grep Location | cut -d' ' -f2)/render_sdk
head -40 "$SDK_ROOT/__init__.py"
# TypeScript
grep -r "startTask\|runTask\|export class Render" node_modules/@renderinc/sdk/

Official docs: render.com/docs/workflows

Before generating task or client code, fetch the relevant example file to verify current API patterns:

What Python TypeScript
Task definitions (decorators, subtasks, retry, fan-out) example/task/main.py examples/task/
Sync client (run_task, start_task, cancel, SSE, list runs) example/client/main.py examples/client/
Async client example/client/async_main.py

This skill carries a quick-reference cheat sheet for the API surface. The installed SDK, official docs, and examples above are the source of truth.

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.

render-workflows is a skill published in the GitHub repository cass-2003/local-workflow-skill (12 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 95 tokens to every session and 2,118 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). It is 94% identical to render-workflows, differing in 12 lines, and is treated as a copy.
