What is create-workflow-dotnet?

A guided setup for creating a Dapr Workflow application in .NET. Dapr Workflow coordinates steps in a long-running application.

Use it to create a .NET workflow project, check that it builds, and generate a README with instructions for running and testing it.

It organizes project creation and build verification while documenting the required .NET, container, Dapr, and dashboard setup.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00052	$0.01598
Opus 5	$0.00026	$0.00799
Sonnet 5	$0.00010	$0.00320
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00160

Security

Grade A, and why

create-workflow-dotnet scanned grade A 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 12d 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Create Dapr Workflow .NET Application

Overview

This skill describes how to create a Dapr Workflow application using .NET.

Execution Order

You MUST follow these phases in strict order:

Check specification - Check if the user specified what needs to be built.
Project Setup — Create all files and folders.
Verify — Verify that the project builds.
Create README.md — Create a readme that summarizes what is built and how to run & test the application. Do not provide instructions at the end of this phase.
Show final message - Your LAST output MUST be EXACTLY the message defined in the ## Show final message section. Do NOT add any other text, summary, or commentary after it.

Prerequisites

The following must be installed by the user before this skill can run:

Additional runtime dependencies (handled during project setup):

NuGet package: Dapr.Workflow version 1.18.4
Start the Diagrid Dev Dashboard: docker run -p 8080:8080 ghcr.io/diagridio/diagrid-dashboard:latest

Check specification

If you don't have enough context what to build, ask the user the following clarifying questions one by one using an interview style:

What is the purpose of the workflow application?
Describe how workflow should work. Which patterns should be used?
Specify the input and output objects of the workflow.
What's the name of this project? This will be used as the folder name and solution name. Don't use any spaces in this name.

Project Setup

Create the project root folder inside the current location where the terminal is open, then create a new ASP.NET Core web application inside it:

mkdir <ProjectRoot>
cd <ProjectRoot>
dotnet new web -n <ProjectName>
dotnet add <ProjectName> package Dapr.Workflow --version 1.18.4

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.
