create-recipe

create-recipe is a skill for Claude Code from rkawaishi/workato-dev-kit. It costs 34 tokens per session (2,996 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

An interactive generator for Workato recipe files. A recipe is an automation that starts with an event and performs one or more actions, and this tool saves the result as JSON files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Defining a recipe’s purpose, trigger, actions, conditions, and target project, then generating the corresponding Workato files. Japanese prompts are supported.
Why use it?
It turns a plain-language automation idea into the required recipe and connection file structure. It can also check the project’s shared asset catalogue for reusable connections and functions.

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 B, and why

create-recipe scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 7d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 239 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/create-recipe

Generates Workato recipe JSON files from a short interview.

Usage

  • /create-recipe <project> — generate into that project
  • /create-recipe — infer the project from context and confirm it

Procedure

1. Interview the recipe design

Confirm with the user:

  • Recipe purpose: what you want to automate.
  • Trigger: which app's which event starts the recipe (e.g. "new email in Gmail").
  • Actions: what happens after the trigger (e.g. "upload file to Google Drive").
  • Conditions: any filter conditions.
  • Target project: which project directory the file goes into.

2. Check the shared asset catalog

If projects/CATALOG.md exists, read it. Look for existing assets matching the requirements:

  • Connections: if a shared connection for the same provider exists → propose reusing it.
  • Recipe Functions: if the logic you need (manager lookup, notification sender, etc.) already exists → propose calling it via call_recipe.
  • If you find matching assets, propose them to the user and bake them in only after they approve.

If the catalog is missing, skip this and tell the user it can be generated with /catalog scan.

3. Check the connector knowledge

  • Use @docs/connectors/_index.md to identify the connector you'll use.
  • Read @docs/connectors/<connector>.md for available triggers/actions and field info.

4. Verify field details

  • If the connector doc has an Input/Output fields section for the target action, use it.
  • If the field info is missing: fetch the official docs with WebFetch.
    • URL pattern: https://docs.workato.com/en/connectors/<name>/<action-name>.html
    • Or: https://docs.workato.com/en/connectors/<name>/actions.html
  • Append what you fetched to docs/connectors/<connector>.md so the knowledge accumulates.
  • Prohibited: do not grep projects/<other-project>/Recipes/ to copy fields from sample JSON. That leaks project-specific logic and naming, and it hides documentation gaps (see "Recipe implementation lifecycle" in @.claude/CLAUDE.md).
  • If you have to implement best-effort because there's no documentation anywhere, record provider / action under ## Unlearned in org/docs/connectors/<provider>.md and tell the user, so /learn-recipe can close the gap after the first push.
