workflows-create

workflows-create is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zapier/agent-skills. It costs 73 tokens per session (8,592 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow builder for Zapier, a service that connects apps and automates actions between them. It turns a plain-language request into a multi-step workflow and uses Zapier's command-line tools to test and publish it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to automate tasks across Zapier-connected apps, such as starting from a trigger, performing several actions, waiting for events, and deploying the resulting workflow.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually design each step of an automation and helps check that the workflow works before publishing it.

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

workflows-create 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 4d 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 — 604 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Zapier Workflows Create

Create a complete durable workflow from natural language, test it when appropriate, and deploy it through the Zapier SDK experimental Code Workflows commands.

Use the public SDK CLI path. Do not use zapier-sdk-code-substrate.

Compatibility Gate

Before using this skill, run the workflows-doctor bundle compatibility check. If workflows-doctor is not installed or cannot be loaded, run workflows-install or install workflows-doctor from zapier/agent-skills before continuing. If workflows-doctor reports SDK/skill drift, follow its refresh instructions, stop this skill invocation, reload the agent workspace if needed, and ask the user to rerun the original request.

Prerequisites

Verify these at the start:

zapier-sdk --version
zapier-sdk get-profile --json
zapier-sdk --experimental --help
zapier-sdk --experimental create-workflow --help
zapier-sdk --experimental publish-workflow-version --help
zapier-sdk --experimental run-durable --help
zapier-sdk --experimental list-triggers --help
zapier-sdk --experimental trigger-workflow --help

Pass latest for versions — the platform resolves it. The sandbox installs with pnpm install --config.minimumReleaseAge=1440, so a dependency published less than 24h ago is rejected, and @zapier/zapier-sdk publishes several times a day. You do not have to work out which release is old enough: latest is resolved for you to the newest release that clears that 24h gate (COSUB-956).

That only applies to @zapier/zapier-durable and @zapier/zapier-sdk. They are resolved server-side, at publish and at run submit, and the exact version is stored on the workflow version or the run — so a workflow stays on the version it resolved to, however long it runs.

Give every other dependency an exact version:

--zapier-durable-version latest
--dependencies '{"@zapier/zapier-sdk":"latest","zod":"4.3.6"}'

A spec that isn't resolved server-side is stored as written, and every tick regenerates package.json from it with no lockfile. So "zod":"latest" would install whatever is newest at each tick, and a run that spans a zod major would replay against a different library than it recorded. The install itself would succeed — pnpm falls back from the latest tag to the newest release outside the 24h gate — which is what makes this worth stating: the failure shows up later, as a replay that doesn't match.

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.
