agent-workflow-designer

agent-workflow-designer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from humaisali/Awesome-AI-Skills. It costs 73 tokens per session (544 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of agent-workflow-designer, MIT.

A design skill for building workflows where multiple AI agents handle different steps or specialties. It helps choose a step-by-step, parallel, or coordinator-led structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan handoffs between agents, define failure and retry behavior, add validation steps, and generate starter workflow configurations.
Why use it?
It makes complex agent pipelines easier to define, control, recover, and keep within context and cost limits.

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

agent-workflow-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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/workflow_scaffolder.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.

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.

Agent Workflow Designer

Tier: POWERFUL
Category: Engineering
Domain: Multi-Agent Systems / AI Orchestration


Overview

Design production-grade multi-agent workflows with clear pattern choice, handoff contracts, failure handling, and cost/context controls.

Core Capabilities

  • Workflow pattern selection for multi-step agent systems
  • Skeleton config generation for fast workflow bootstrapping
  • Context and cost discipline across long-running flows
  • Error recovery and retry strategy scaffolding
  • Documentation pointers for operational pattern tradeoffs

When to Use

  • A single prompt is insufficient for task complexity
  • You need specialist agents with explicit boundaries
  • You want deterministic workflow structure before implementation
  • You need validation loops for quality or safety gates

Quick Start

# Generate a sequential workflow skeleton
python3 scripts/workflow_scaffolder.py sequential --name content-pipeline

# Generate an orchestrator workflow and save it
python3 scripts/workflow_scaffolder.py orchestrator --name incident-triage --output workflows/incident-triage.json

Pattern Map

  • sequential: strict step-by-step dependency chain
  • parallel: fan-out/fan-in for independent subtasks
  • router: dispatch by intent/type with fallback
  • orchestrator: planner coordinates specialists with dependencies
  • evaluator: generator + quality gate loop

Detailed templates: references/workflow-patterns.md


  1. Select pattern based on dependency shape and risk profile.
  2. Scaffold config via scripts/workflow_scaffolder.py.
  3. Define handoff contract fields for every edge.
  4. Add retry/timeouts and output validation gates.
  5. Dry-run with small context budgets before scaling.

Common Pitfalls

  • Over-orchestrating tasks solvable by one well-structured prompt
  • Missing timeout/retry policies for external-model calls
  • Passing full upstream context instead of targeted artifacts
  • Ignoring per-step cost accumulation

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.
