flows

flows is a skill for Claude Code from Postman-Devrel/postman-claude-code-plugin. It costs 116 tokens per session (2,502 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command-line guide for Postman Flows, which are visual graphs of connected blocks rather than ordinary scripts. It covers running local flow files, deploying cloud flows, triggering deployed flows, and tracing failed runs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run, deploy, trigger, list, inspect, and debug Postman Flows from the command line.
Why use it?
It clarifies the difference between a local flow and a cloud-deployed flow, and it helps locate the block that caused a failure instead of treating the whole flow as one step.

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

flows 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.

Postman Flows

Overview

Listing flows, running them, deploying them so they become callable, and tracing a failed run to the block that caused it — all through postman flows.

Core knowledge

A flow is a graph of blocks, not a script. That single fact drives the rest of this skill: a flow has two independent execution paths, and its HTTP response describes one block rather than the whole graph, so debugging takes a different command than running.

Local file vs deployed artifact

run and trigger are not two ways to execute one flow. Postman Flows has two Native Git modes, and they are isolated from each other:

  • Cloud View (the default) syncs flows to Postman Cloud, which is what makes them shareable and deployable — so Cloud View is the only side deploy, trigger, update, list-runs and get-run ever address.
  • Local View stores flows as JSON in a local Git repo, updated as they are edited. Those flows cannot be shared or deployed, have no snapshots, and are isolated from the flows in Cloud View.
flows run <path> flows trigger <flowId>
Executes a flow JSON file on this machine the cloud-deployed flow, via its webhook
Returns status, output, test results, exit code Run ID + HTTP status + response body
Observability own stdout, --output, --reporters get-run, per block
Environment file -e/--environment not supported

run exits nonzero on failure, which is what lets a CI job gate on it. trigger goes through the real webhook URL, so it exercises the deployed path end-to-end — auth and trigger configuration included — and registers a cloud run that get-run can explain block by block.

postman init scaffolds postman/flows/, and Postman's flows run examples use that path. Note what puts files there: the Git-connected Flows experience is desktop-app only, so postman/flows/*.json is written by the desktop app's Local View, not by the CLI — workspace push/pull carry no flows handling whatever else they sync. Don't tell a user to workspace pull to obtain a flow file.

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.
