workflow-skill-designer

workflow-skill-designer is a skill for Claude Code from catlog22/Claude-Code-Workflow. It costs 56 tokens per session (4,571 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A meta-skill for designing structured workflow skills with a coordinator file and separate phase instructions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating a new workflow skill that needs requirements analysis, orchestration, phase files, and validation.
Why use it?
It provides a consistent way to organize complex agent workflows so their phases and data flow are easier to maintain.

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-skill-designer 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 1mo 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.

Workflow Skill Designer

Meta-skill for creating structured workflow skills following the orchestrator + phases pattern. Generates complete skill packages with SKILL.md as coordinator and phases/ folder for execution details.

Target Output Structure

The skill this meta-skill produces follows this structure:

.claude/skills/{skill-name}/
├── SKILL.md                    # Orchestrator: coordination, data flow, TodoWrite
├── phases/
│   ├── 01-{phase-name}.md      # Phase execution detail (full content)

Core Design Patterns

Patterns extracted from successful workflow skill implementations (workflow-plan, project-analyze, etc.):

Pattern 1: Orchestrator + Progressive Loading

SKILL.md = Pure coordinator. Contains:

  • Architecture diagram (ASCII)
  • Execution flow with Ref: phases/0N-xxx.md markers
  • Phase Reference Documents table (read on-demand)
  • Data flow between phases
  • Core rules and error handling

Phase files = Full execution detail. Contains:

  • Complete agent prompts, bash commands, code implementations
  • Validation checklists, error handling
  • Input/Output specification
  • Next Phase link

Files

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
