Workflow

Workflow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from xyva-yuangui/XyvaClaw. It costs 18 tokens per session (773 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A system for defining automated pipelines as reusable components and connected steps, with configuration, logs, and saved state between runs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building data-processing jobs, connecting services, tracking progress with checkpoints, handling errors, and scheduling or responding to triggers.
Why use it?
It organizes multi-step automation and helps runs continue safely, retry failed work, and avoid processing the same data twice.

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

Workflow scanned grade A 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (examples/daily-stock-report/run.sh, examples/daily-stock-report/test.sh, scripts/check-enhanced.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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Architecture

Workflows live in workflows/ with components and flows:

Requirements

  • jq — JSON processing
  • yq — YAML config parsing
  • curl — HTTP requests
  • flock — Lock files to prevent concurrent runs
  • Secrets in macOS Keychain (security find-generic-password)

Data Storage

  • Location: workflows/ in workspace root
  • State: flows/{name}/state/ — cursor.json, seen.json, checkpoint.json
  • Logs: flows/{name}/logs/ — JSONL per run
  • Data: flows/{name}/data/ — intermediate files between nodes

Core Rules

1. Data Flow Pattern

Each node writes output to data/{NN}-{name}.json. Next node reads it.

curl ... > data/01-fetch.json
jq '...' data/01-fetch.json > data/02-filter.json

Breaking this pattern = nodes can't communicate.

2. Error Declaration

Every node in flow.md MUST declare:

  • On error: retry(N) | fail | continue | alert
  • On empty: skip | continue | fail

Undefined behavior = unpredictable workflow.

3. Lock Files

Prevent concurrent runs:

LOCKFILE="/tmp/workflow-${NAME}.lock"
exec 200>"$LOCKFILE"
flock -n 200 || exit 0

4. State Files

File Purpose
cursor.json "Where did I leave off?"
seen.json "What have I processed?"
checkpoint.json "Multi-step recovery"

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.

Workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository xyva-yuangui/XyvaClaw (21 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 773 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
