A guide for building Pulse workflows, which are visual pipelines of connected steps that process input and produce results. Pulse is described here as a Dify-based workflow system, with commands for creating, editing, and publishing workflows.

Creating, editing, and preparing Pulse workflows that use control steps, AI steps, data transformations, web requests, and external tools.

It explains the workflow concepts, available commands, and types of steps so an agent can work on Pulse projects consistently.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00061	$0.00922
Opus 5	$0.00030	$0.00461
Sonnet 5	$0.00012	$0.00184
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00092

Security

Grade A, and why

pulse 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 110 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pulse Workflow Development

Build and manage Pulse (Dify) workflows using MCP tools directly from Claude Code.

Available Commands

Command	Description
`/pulse`	This help - overview and concepts
`/pulse-create`	Create a new workflow from description
`/pulse-edit`	Edit an existing workflow
`/pulse-publish`	Validate and publish workflow

Quick Start

1. /pulse-create customer support chatbot with RAG
2. /pulse-edit                    # Make changes
3. /pulse-publish                 # Validate & publish

Core Concepts

Workflows

Workflows are visual pipelines of connected nodes that process user input and generate responses. Each workflow belongs to an app.

Nodes

Processing units in a workflow:

Control: start, end, answer, if-else, iteration, loop
AI: llm, knowledge-retrieval, question-classifier, parameter-extractor
Transform: code, template-transform, variable-assigner, variable-aggregator
External: http-request, tool

Edges

Connections between nodes defining data flow. Each edge connects a source node's output handle to a target node's input handle.

MCP Tools Available

The pulse-workflow MCP server provides these tools:

Discovery (ALWAYS use first)

list_node_types - Get available node types
get_node_schema - Get node configuration schema
list_models - Get available AI models
list_datasets - Get knowledge bases
list_tool_providers / list_tools - Get external tools

App Management

list_apps - List available apps
select_app - Select app to work with
create_app - Create new app
initialize_workflow - Initialize workflow for new app (auto-called by create_app)

Workflow Operations

view_workflow - See current structure
validate_workflow - Check for errors
publish_workflow - Publish draft

Node Operations

add_node - Add node to workflow
edit_node - Modify node config
delete_node - Remove node
get_node / list_nodes - View nodes
batch_add_nodes - Add multiple nodes in one call (efficient)

Files

What ships with it

4 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.

pulse is a skill published in the GitHub repository Pulse-Intelligence/pulse-workflow-mcp (0 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 922 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
