workflow-creator

workflow-creator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Heyvhuang/ship-faster. It costs 89 tokens per session (1,550 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A skill for creating new workflow skills by combining existing skills into an end-to-end process. It turns an idea into a written specification and a package that can be created and run later.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design workflows that chain several existing skills, discover missing skills, create the required workflow files, and prepare a resumable implementation plan.
Why use it?
It provides a structured way to design multi-step agent work without copying or rewriting the skills each step needs. It also records plans, tasks, context, and approval before execution.

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 →

  • medium Rogue Agent · line 3
    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.
  • medium Agent Snooping · line 68
    Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.
    Fix: Remove all code or instructions that list or read other skills' files or directories. Skills should operate independently; cross-skill access is a privilege escalation.

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

workflow-creator 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/validate_skill_md.py, scripts/validate_workflow_spec.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 147 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Workflow Creator

Create a new workflow-<slug>/ skill package that chains existing skills with Ship Faster-standard artifacts.

Hard rules (do not skip)

  • Compose skills, don't copy them: a workflow's job is orchestration. Do not paste long best-practice content from other skills into the workflow. Instead: map each step to a single existing skill and point to it.
  • One step = one skill: every step in workflow_spec.md must map to exactly one skill (or a tiny, verifiable manual action).
  • Missing required skill = stop: do not approximate a missing skill by rewriting its logic. When a required skill is missing locally, you must look up candidates on https://skills.sh/, suggest 2-3 options + install commands, and wait for the user.
  • Artifact-first, resumable: state lives in proposal.md, tasks.md, context.json under run_dir/.
  • Plan-then-confirm execution: generated workflows must write a plan first, then ask the user to confirm execution; the confirmation must be recorded under tasks.md -> ## Approvals.

Defaults (Ship Faster standard)

  • Artifact store: runs/ by default, OpenSpec when openspec/project.md exists (unless overridden in context.json).
  • Required run files: proposal.md, tasks.md, context.json.
  • Execution model: plan first, then ask the user to confirm execution; on confirmation, record approval in tasks.md.

Inputs (paths only)

  • Optional: repo_root (skills repository root)
  • Optional: workflow_spec_path (if the user already wrote a spec)

Outputs

  • New or updated workflow skill folder:
    • workflow-<slug>/SKILL.md
    • workflow-<slug>/references/workflow-spec.md (SSOT)

What ships with it

7 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.

workflow-creator is a skill published in the GitHub repository Heyvhuang/ship-faster (339 stars, last pushed 24d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 89 tokens to every session and 1,550 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (enumerates other installed skills).
