output-build-workflow

output-build-workflow is a skill for Claude Code from growthxai/output. It costs 52 tokens per session (2,060 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for turning an existing workflow plan into working Output SDK code. Output SDK is a framework for building workflows from connected steps, including steps that use language models.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building a workflow from a plan document. Creating or updating its workflow code, schemas, steps, prompt templates, and error-handling logic.
Why use it?
It gives the implementation a defined structure based on the plan, including data types, step relationships, prompts, retries, and error handling. This reduces the chance that important parts of the planned workflow are missed.

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

output-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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 331 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Your task is to implement an Output.ai workflow based on a provided plan document.

The workflow directory is provided as an argument (the workflow directory path). The workflow skeleton should already have been created there; if it has not, create it first.

Please read the plan file and implement the workflow according to its specifications.

Use the todo tool to track your progress through the implementation process.

Implementation Rules

Overview

Implement the workflow described in the plan document, following Output SDK patterns and best practices.

<pre_flight_check> EXECUTE: Claude Skill: output-meta-pre-flight </pre_flight_check>

<process_flow>

Step 1: Plan Analysis

Read and understand the plan document.

  1. Read the plan file from the provided plan file path
  2. Identify the workflow name, description, and purpose
  3. Extract input and output schema definitions
  4. List all required steps and their relationships
  5. Note any LLM-based steps that require prompt templates
  6. Understand error handling and retry requirements

Step 2: Workflow Implementation

Update workflow.ts in the workflow directory with the workflow definition.

<implementation_checklist>

  • Import required dependencies (workflow, z from '@outputai/core')
  • Define inputSchema based on plan specifications
  • Define outputSchema based on plan specifications
  • Import step functions from steps.ts
  • Implement workflow function with proper orchestration
  • Handle conditional logic if specified in plan
  • Add proper error handling
  • When catching a specific step or evaluator error, use hasErrorType(error, ErrorClass) instead of instanceof (see output-error-try-catch) </implementation_checklist>

<workflow_template>

import { workflow, z } from '@outputai/core';
import { stepName } from './steps.js';

const inputSchema = z.object( {
  // Define based on plan
} );

const outputSchema = z.object( {
  // Define based on plan
} );

export default workflow( {
  name: 'workflow-name-from-plan',
  description: 'Description from plan',
  inputSchema,
  outputSchema,
  fn: async input => {
    // Implement orchestration logic from plan
    const result = await stepName( input );
    return { result };
  }
} );

</workflow_template>

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.
