workflow-creator

workflow-creator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from open-octo/octo-agent. It costs 278 tokens per session (2,452 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for turning a repeated multi-step task into a saved workflow that can be run on demand or on a schedule. It can connect existing skills or coordinate new agent tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to chain existing tasks, run work across many files, or coordinate several agent checks in sequence or in parallel.
Why use it?
It saves repeatable processes so they do not have to be rebuilt manually each time.

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-creator 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.

Build a saved workflow

A saved workflow is a small Ruby (mruby) script that runs on demand or on a schedule. Your job is to guide the user from a one-off description of what they want repeated to a saved, validated workflow. It takes one of two shapes, sometimes mixed in the same script:

  • Skill chain — the script calls existing skills/recordings in order via recording(...) / skill(...), passing each one's output to the next's input. You are composing things that already exist.
  • Primitive-composed — the script calls agent(...) directly (alone, or fanned out with parallel/pipeline) to do fresh sub-agent work that has no matching existing skill — e.g. "review this diff across 3 dimensions in parallel" or "run this check over every file in the list." There is nothing to inventory here; you're writing the orchestration from scratch, just not the agent-level logic (that's still an LLM call inside agent(...), not new Go/tool code).

Figure out which shape (or mix) fits before drafting anything — see Step 0.

The pieces you use

  • agent(prompt, opts = {}) — run one sub-agent to completion, returns a String. opts[:schema] (a JSON-schema string) makes the reply come back as a JSON string matching it — parse it yourself with JSON.parse, unlike skill()'s schema results, which arrive already parsed.
  • skill(name, params = {}, opts = {}) — runs one existing SKILL.md skill as a sub-agent and returns its result as native Ruby. opts[:schema] makes the reply come back structured (already parsed).
  • recording(name, params = {}) — replays one existing browser recording deterministically and returns its declared outputs as a Ruby Hash.
  • args — the workflow's input, a Ruby Hash, so the saved workflow is parameterizable and reusable.
  • parallel(items) { |it| ... } / pipeline(items, *stages) — for fan-out or staged flows, over agent() / skill() / recording() calls.
  • log(msg) / phase(title) — progress output, no effect on scheduling.
  • The workflow tool — runs a script (in the background: returns a run id).
  • workflow_save — persists the script as a named workflow.

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.
