create-workflow

create-workflow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from lvndry/jazz. It costs 38 tokens per session (2,748 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for creating WORKFLOW.md files that schedule Jazz agents to perform recurring tasks. It is intended for agent-based automation rather than ordinary operating-system commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to schedule an agent to check or process something repeatedly, such as checking email every hour.
Why use it?
It turns a recurring request into a documented schedule with settings such as missed-run handling, approval level, and required skills. It also helps clarify missing details before creating the workflow.

    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.

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

create-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 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.

Create Workflow

Generate workflow automation files that schedule jazz agents to run recurring tasks.

When to Use

  • User wants to automate a recurring task using a Jazz Agent
  • User asks to "create a workflow" or "schedule an agent"
  • User says "I want to check X every Y" (e.g., "check emails every hour")
  • User wants unattended agent execution

Note: If the user wants to schedule a simple shell script or system command without using a Jazz Agent, use the create-system-routine skill instead.

Gathering Information (Questionnaire)

Do not create the workflow file until you have enough information. If the user's prompt is vague (e.g. "create a workflow", "I want to automate emails") or missing any of the items below, guide them through a short questionnaire instead of guessing.

You have enough info when you know:

  1. Task: What should the agent do? (Concrete, not vague.)
  2. Schedule: When should it run? (So you can convert to cron.)
  3. Catch-up: Should missed runs execute on startup? (If not specified, ask or choose a sensible default.)
  4. Auto-approve: What risk level? (read-only / low-risk / high-risk / false—default to conservative.)
  5. Skills: Which skills does the agent need? (e.g. email, calendar, deep-research.)
  6. Instructions: Clear, safety-first prompt with explicit criteria and "when in doubt" rules.
  7. Location: Where to save? (Local ./workflows/<name>/ or global ~/.jazz/workflows/<name>/.)

How to run the questionnaire:

  • Ask one or a few questions at a time; don't dump a long list.
  • Use the user's words to refine (e.g. "You said 'clean my inbox'—should that be archive only, or also delete? How old is 'old'?").
  • After each answer, confirm what you have and ask only what's still missing.
  • Once you have all seven items above, proceed to create the WORKFLOW.md.

Workflow

  1. Understand the task: What should the agent do? When should it run? If unclear, ask.
  2. Determine schedule: Convert user intent to cron format; if not stated, ask when they want it to run.
  3. Decide catch-up behavior: Should missed runs execute on startup? Ask if not specified.
  4. Choose auto-approve policy: Based on risk level of operations; default to conservative.
  5. Identify required skills: What skills will the agent need?
  6. Write clear instructions: Safety-first prompt with explicit guidelines.
  7. Create WORKFLOW.md: Place in appropriate directory only after you have enough info from above.

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.

create-workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository lvndry/jazz (54 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 2,748 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
