Workflows

Skills for creating and reviewing workflows.

Usage

To give an agent access to a skill, add it to the allowed-skills list in the agent's AGENT.md frontmatter e.g. allowed-skills: workflow-creation. When creating a new agent, you can prompt the #agent-creator agent or the ~agent-creation-iterative workflow to use specific skills.

  • Workflow Creation Skill: Create a new Stencila workflow. Use when asked to create, write, scaffold, or set up a workflow directory or WORKFLOW.md file. Covers workflow discovery, duplicate-name checks, ephemeral workflows, WORKFLOW.md frontmatter, DOT pipeline authoring, goals, agents, branching, composition, and validation.

  • Workflow Review Skill: Critically review a Stencila workflow and suggest improvements. Use when asked to review, audit, critique, evaluate, or improve a workflow directory or WORKFLOW.md file. Covers frontmatter validation, DOT pipeline quality, workflow structure, agent selection quality, discovery metadata, ephemeral workflow conventions, workflow composition, and adherence to Stencila workflow patterns.
