workflow-foundation

workflow-foundation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from managedcode/dotnet-skills. It costs 105 tokens per session (424 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for maintaining or assessing Windows Workflow Foundation, a .NET system for building processes that may run for a long time and use visual workflow designers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when maintaining WF activities and workflows, checking long-running state and persistence, or deciding whether to keep, isolate, or replace legacy workflow logic.
Why use it?
Older workflow systems can contain important business rules and saved process state, so replacing them without understanding their behavior can create failures or split responsibilities.

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

workflow-foundation 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.

What it actually says

Windows Workflow Foundation

Trigger On

  • working on WF activities, workflows, or designer-backed process logic
  • reviewing long-lived workflow state and persistence behavior
  • assessing whether to keep, isolate, or replace Workflow Foundation

Workflow

  1. Treat WF as legacy infrastructure and start by understanding what workflow behavior is still business-critical before proposing replacement.
  2. Separate workflow host concerns, activity logic, persistence, and integration points so risk is visible.
  3. Avoid half-migrations that leave workflow state and business rules split across two orchestration systems without ownership.
  4. If replacement is needed, define explicit equivalence for triggers, compensation, persistence, and audit expectations.
  5. Stabilize current behavior with targeted tests or scenario captures before changing designer-driven artifacts.
  6. Validate with representative long-running and failure scenarios, not just a single successful execution path.

Deliver

  • practical maintenance or migration guidance for WF
  • clear boundaries around host, workflow, and persistence responsibilities
  • risk-aware change plans for legacy process logic

Validate

  • business-critical workflow behavior is identified before change
  • migration work preserves state and audit expectations
  • designer artifacts are treated carefully

References

  • Migration Guidance - decision framework for keeping, replacing, or isolating WF; migration targets and steps; common pitfalls
  • Maintenance Patterns - host management, persistence, activity design, testing, and operational patterns for WF systems

What ships with it

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.
