workflows-doctor

workflows-doctor is a skill for Claude Code from zapier/agent-skills. It costs 55 tokens per session (2,212 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A diagnostic skill for checking whether the installed Zapier SDK command-line tool matches the requirements of Zapier workflow skills. It also checks whether those skills may be out of date.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for checking workflow-skill freshness, verifying required SDK commands and flags, and recording the SDK versions used and supported.
Why use it?
It helps identify missing commands, unsupported options, or differences between the installed tool and the workflow instructions before troubleshooting the workflow itself.

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

workflows-doctor 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/skill-freshness-check.sh, scripts/skill-freshness-check.test.sh), 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

If global npm installs fail because of permissions, tell the user to fix their Node/npm setup before retrying. Prefer a user-owned Node install through nvm or Homebrew over `sudo npm install -g`.

Zapier Workflows Doctor

Diagnose whether the installed Zapier SDK CLI can support the Zapier Workflows skill bundle. Be diagnostic first. Do not refresh skills unless SDK/skill drift is detected or compatibility cannot be confirmed.

Compatibility Metadata

Workflow skills use these metadata fields:

  • sdk_cli_min: oldest SDK CLI version the skill is allowed to run against. Set it to the first SDK CLI version that supports the newest command or flag the skill depends on. If that exact first-supported version is uncertain, use the SDK CLI version used when introducing the skill instruction change.
  • sdk_cli_validated: SDK CLI version used during the latest validation pass. Update it whenever workflow skills are intentionally tested and republished against a newer SDK CLI, even if sdk_cli_min does not change.
  • refresh_source: canonical skill source. For these skills, keep this as zapier/agent-skills.

Command-surface checks verify required bundle capabilities only. They do not prove full workflow correctness or that JSON payload semantics are unchanged.

Step 0: Daily Skill-Freshness Check

Run this before the SDK compatibility steps below. It keeps the workflow skills current with zapier/agent-skills even when the SDK CLI has not changed, by occasionally running npx skills update for the bundle. It is soft and non-blocking: it self-throttles to roughly once per day per project, never stops the calling skill, and prints nothing unless it actually applied an update.

Run it exactly once, then continue to Step 1 regardless of its output. Do not parse or branch on the result:

bash scripts/skill-freshness-check.sh

Resolve scripts/skill-freshness-check.sh relative to this skill's own directory. The script locates the installed skill bundle from its own path and runs the bundle update from the scope root that contains it (the directory holding .agents/.claude), so it does not matter which directory you invoke it from.

  • If it prints a note that skills were refreshed, pass that note along to the user and keep going; the update takes full effect on the next workspace reload.
  • If it prints nothing, say nothing and continue.

What ships with it

2 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.
