askit-build-workflow

askit-build-workflow is a skill for Claude Code from product-on-purpose/agent-skills-toolkit. It costs 67 tokens per session (537 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A builder for creating workflows: written sequences that connect several coding-agent skills to produce a defined result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Authoring or improving workflow files for plugins, including naming the skills used, passing their outputs between steps, and checking that each referenced skill and connection is valid.
Why use it?
It turns a repeated multi-step process into documented steps with clear handoffs and completion conditions.

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

askit-build-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 10d 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

askit-build-workflow

Purpose

Author a plugin's workflows: ordered arcs that chain multiple skills toward an outcome (Standard sec 3.4). Two modes: create authors _workflows/<name>.md (steps, inputs/outputs handed between steps, exit criteria); improve resolves findings. Authoring depth is in references/authoring-workflows.md. Follows the shared builder contract (../../docs/reference/builder-pattern.md).

When to use

When the user asks to author, scaffold, or improve a workflow, or to formalize a recurring multi-skill sequence into an ordered arc.

create mode

  1. Identify the recurring arc: the ordered skills, what is handed between steps, and the exit criteria. Skip the interview if in context.
  2. Author _workflows/<name>.md (copy templates/workflow.md): frontmatter steps (each naming the skill it invokes) plus a body describing the handoffs and exit criteria.
  3. Every referenced skill MUST exist (S5). Every chaining step MUST be permitted by the chain contract (sec 3.4); use askit-build-chain-contract to add the permission if needed.
  4. A workflow SHOULD declare which agent targets it supports.
  5. Evaluate (node scripts/evaluate.mjs . --json) until S5 is clean.

improve mode

  1. Run evaluate and read findings.
  2. For an S5 finding (a step references a skill not on disk), fix the skill name or create the skill. Tighten the handoffs and exit criteria.
  3. Re-run to confirm.

Scope

A workflow is _workflows/<name>.md with ordered steps and exit criteria (sec 3.4). Referenced skills must exist (S5) and chaining steps must be chain-permitted (sec 3.6). The deterministic workflow-step chain-permission check (step orphans) is a planned enhancement; today S5 enforces step skill-existence and the chain contract governs component-to-component invocation.

Files

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
