software-workflow-automation

software-workflow-automation is a skill for Codex from vasilyu1983/AI-Agents-public. It costs 38 tokens per session (3,824 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to designing automated workflows that connect tools and services through triggers, routing, approvals, retries, and AI-assisted steps. It compares platforms such as n8n, Langflow, Temporal, and Trigger.dev.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose an automation platform, design event-driven processes, add approvals and retries, and decide when a visual workflow should become code.
Why use it?
It helps turn multi-step manual processes into controlled workflows with clearer failure handling and oversight.

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

software-workflow-automation 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/check_workflow_idempotency.py, scripts/replay_dlq.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Workflow Automation

Use this skill to choose and design software workflow automation when the system needs triggers, integrations, routing, approvals, or AI-assisted steps across tools and services.

This skill covers:

  • platform choice between n8n, Langflow, Huginn, Temporal, Trigger.dev, and custom code
  • event-driven workflow design for internal tools and product operations
  • side-effect control, retries, approvals, and observability
  • AI-assisted workflow steps without turning every flow into a full agent system
  • handoff rules for when visual automation should become code

Quick Reference

Need Default path Notes
Broad integration workflow with many SaaS connectors n8n Strong default for business and product operations with many external systems. Fair-code Sustainable Use License — free for internal business use; check terms before reselling hosted access.
Visual AI or LLM pipeline prototyping Langflow Best fit when the workflow is model-centric and still evolving quickly. Open source, IBM-stewarded since the DataStax acquisition; the DataStax-hosted managed product was retired in early 2026 — self-host or re-check current managed options.
Self-hosted event watchers and automation agents Huginn Good fit for monitoring, alerts, and privacy-first self-hosted automations; upstream project has low recent activity — evaluate community forks before committing
Long-running, retried, or replay-sensitive business workflows Temporal or Trigger.dev v4 Use when durable execution, idempotency, and code review matter more than visual editing speed. Trigger.dev v3 was fully shut down 2026-07-01 — v4 is the only supported line.
Complex state, strong testing, or strict SLOs Custom code Move out of no-code/low-code once the workflow becomes core software
Tool protocol or reusable tool surface ../agents-mcp/SKILL.md MCP is the integration contract layer, not the workflow designer itself
Platform state, version traps, and migration notes (verify before advising) references/platform-state.md Temporal (Nexus GA), Trigger.dev v4, n8n 2.x, Inngest, Hatchet 1.0, LangGraph vs Langflow
Durable execution deep-dive: Temporal, Trigger.dev v4, n8n 2.x, LangGraph/Langflow references/durable-execution.md breaking changes and production traps

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.
