workflow-creator: Research & Knowledge for AI Agents | OpenAgentSkill

Overview

Turn a repeatable multi-step task into a runnable, reusable saved workflow through guided conversation, in either of two shapes — chaining existing skills/recordings (wiring each one's output into the next's input), or composing the workflow script's own primitives (agent/parallel/pipeline) directly when the task needs fresh sub-agent orchestration and no existing skill covers it. Figure out which shape fits, generate the Ruby workflow, dry-run it, and save it with workflow_save. Use when the user wants to combine / chain / orchestrate work into one repeatable flow — whether that's several EXISTING skills, or a from-scratch multi-agent script (parallel review, fan-out research, a pipeline over a list) — e.g. "chain these skills", "把这几个技能连起来", "串个流程", "做个 workflow", "编排一下", "build a workflow", "写个并行跑多个 agent 的脚本".

Build a saved workflow

A saved workflow is a small Ruby (mruby) script that runs on demand or on a schedule. Your job is to guide the user from a one-off description of what they want repeated to a saved, validated workflow. It takes one of two shapes, sometimes mixed in the same script:

Skill chain — the script calls existing skills/recordings in order via recording(...) / skill(...), passing each one's output to the next's input. You are composing things that already exist.
Primitive-composed — the script calls agent(...) directly (alone, or fanned out with parallel/pipeline) to do fresh sub-agent work that has no matching existing skill — e.g. "review this diff across 3 dimensions in parallel" or "run this check over every file in the list." There is nothing to inventory here; you're writing the orchestration from scratch, just not the agent-level logic (that's still an LLM call inside agent(...), not new Go/tool code).

Figure out which shape (or mix) fits before drafting anything — see Step 0.

The pieces you use

agent(prompt, opts = {}) — run one sub-agent to completion, returns a String. opts[:schema] (a JSON-schema string) makes the reply come back as a JSON string matching it — parse it yourself with JSON.parse, unlike skill()'s schema results, which arrive already parsed.
skill(name, params = {}, opts = {}) — runs one existing SKILL.md skill as a sub-agent and returns its result as native Ruby. opts[:schema] makes the reply come back structured (already parsed).
recording(name, params = {}) — replays one existing browser recording deterministically and returns its declared outputs as a Ruby Hash.
args — the workflow's input, a Ruby Hash, so the saved workflow is parameterizable and reusable.
parallel(items) { |it| ... } / pipeline(items, *stages) — for fan-out or staged flows, over agent() / skill() / recording() calls.
log(msg) / phase(title) — progress output, no effect on scheduling.
The workflow tool — runs a script (in the background: returns a run id).
workflow_save — persists the script as a named workflow.

Steps

0. Decide the shape

First check this isn't actually a loop in disguise: if the user describes something that keeps running on its own (daily/hourly cadence, "keep checking until X", needs to remember state between runs, needs a done-condition or a human gate) — use cron-task-creator to schedule a saved workflow or build stateful persistence yourself; that's not this skill's job. A saved workflow is a single deterministic script; it has no opinion on when or how often it's invoked. Redirect there instead of scoping cadence/state yourself.

Otherwise, ask what the workflow should do — its steps and their order, not the broader scenario or how often it runs — then place it:

Every step maps to a skill/recording the user already has → skill chain, go to Step 1.
The work is fresh sub-agent orchestration with no matching skill (a review fanned out across dimensions, a search run in parallel over several sources, a per-item pipeline) → primitive-composed, skip straight to Step 3 and write agent/parallel/pipeline calls directly — there's nothing to inventory or infer an output schema for, since you're writing the prompts yourself.
Some steps are existing skills and others are ad hoc agent work → do both: inventory only the skill steps (Step 1), and for the primitive steps just decide the prompt and, if a later step needs structured output from it, a schema.

1. Inventory what's available (skill-chain steps only)

Read the system prompt's # Available skills (SKILL.md skills) and # Browser recordings (recordings) sections. List the candidates relevant to the user's goal — with their params, and, for recordings, their outputs — and ask which ones, in what order.

Check for a name collision: one name can exist as both a recording and a SKILL.md skill. That's no longer an error — recording("x") always picks the recording, skill("x") always picks the skill — but it IS a readability trap for whoever reads the script later. Flag it, and prefer renaming one of them.

2. Wire outputs → inputs (skill-chain steps only)

For each adjacent pair, propose how the earlier step's output feeds the next step's params, then have the user confirm before you generate anything. Be honest that the two skill types give you different amounts to work with:

Upstream is a browser recording — its outputs are in the manifest ([outputs: files (file[])]). Wire directly, e.g. dl["files"] → the next step's inputs. This is manifest-driven and reliable.
Upstream is a SKILL.md skill — the manifest does not list its outputs. Infer the likely output shape from the skill's description/body and propose a call-site schema for that step so its reply comes back structured. Show the user the shape you assumed and ask them to confirm or fix it. You are proposing, not reading a declared contract — don't present it as certain.

For a primitive-composed step feeding another primitive-composed step, the same idea applies but there's no manifest at all: you decide both the upstream agent()'s schema (if you need structured output) and how the result is used downstream, and confirm your choice with the user the same way.

3. Generate the Ruby workflow

The script is Ruby (mruby), not JavaScript. Read inputs via args. Show it to the user before running. Shape for a skill chain:

# invoked as: workflow name=monthly-report, args={ "month" => "2026-06" }
dl  = recording("download-excels", { "month" => args["month"] })    # recording → {"files"=>[...]}
tbl = skill("merge-excels", { "inputs" => dl["files"] },            # SKILL.md, proposed schema
            schema: '{"type":"object","properties":{"path":{"type":"string"}},"required":["path"]}')
ppt = skill("excels-to-ppt", { "table" => tbl["path"] })            # SKILL.md
ppt                                                                 # last expression = the result

Shape for a primitive-composed workflow — no skill() call anywhere:

# invoked as: workflow name=diff-review
findings = parallel(["correctness", "security", "perf"]) do |dimension|
  agent("Review the current diff for #{dimension} issues", read_only: true)
end
findings.each { |f| log(f) }
findings

A failed agent()/skill()/recording() raises and halts the run, so you don't have to check each result for errors.

4. Dry-run to validate the wiring — it is asynchronous

The workflow tool runs in the background: it returns a run id, and you must poll workflow_status(id) until the run reports done before judging it. Don't declare success before results land; cap how many times you poll.

A dry-run actually executes the steps, and a browser recording drives a real Chrome right now. So if the chain contains a recording:

confirm Chrome is attached (port 9222) before dry-running, or
validate only the SKILL.md tail by hand-feeding a sample value for the recording's output (e.g. pass a couple of file paths as inputs), and validate the recording itself separately with the browser tool's replay.

Fix any wiring error and re-run before saving.

5. Save it and show how to run it

Call workflow_save(name, script, description) — it writes to ~/.octo/workflows, available across every project. Confirm the name with the user first.

Then tell them the three ways to run it:

In chat — ask to run the workflow by name (passing args).
CLI / headless — run it by name.
On a schedule — use the cron-task-creator skill.

6. State the constraints

A workflow that includes a browser recording needs a live Chrome every time it runs — it errors clearly in a headless/cron run without one. Say so when the flow has a recording in it. A pure primitive-composed workflow has no such constraint.
A SKILL.md or agent() step's structured handoff depends on the call-site schema you proposed in step 2; without one, that step returns free text.

Don't

Don't author a new SKILL.md — that is skill-creator.
Don't design cadence/state/trigger for a recurring loop — use cron-task-creator to schedule a saved workflow instead; don't ask "定时跑还是手动触发" or "这个 workflow 解决什么场景" as scoping questions, since scheduling is only ever a consumer of a saved workflow (mentioned once, in Step 5, as one of three ways to run it by name).
Don't save before the user has confirmed the name.
Don't report the dry-run as passing before workflow_status says done.

# Build a saved workflow

A **saved workflow** is a small Ruby (mruby) script that runs on demand or on a
schedule. Your job is to guide the user from a one-off description of what they
want repeated to a saved, validated workflow. It takes one of two shapes,
sometimes mixed in the same script:

- **Skill chain** — the script calls *existing* skills/recordings in order via
  `recording(...)` / `skill(...)`, passing each one's output to the next's
  input. You are composing things that already exist.
- **Primitive-composed** — the script calls `agent(...)` directly (alone, or
  fanned out with `parallel`/`pipeline`) to do fresh sub-agent work that has no
  matching existing skill — e.g. "review this diff across 3 dimensions in
  parallel" or "run this check over every file in the list." There is nothing to
  inventory here; you're writing the orchestration from scratch, just not the
  agent-level logic (that's still an LLM call inside `agent(...)`, not new Go/tool
  code).

Figure out which shape (or mix) fits **before** drafting anything — see Step 0.

  `opts[:schema]` (a JSON-schema string) makes the reply come back as a JSON
  *string* matching it — parse it yourself with `JSON.parse`, unlike `skill()`'s

  a sub-agent and returns its result as native Ruby. `opts[:schema]` makes the
  reply come back structured (already parsed).
- `recording(name, params = {})` — replays one *existing* browser recording
  deterministically and returns its declared outputs as a Ruby `Hash`.

  go to Step 1.
- The work is fresh sub-agent orchestration with no matching skill (a review
  fanned out across dimensions, a search run in parallel over several sources, a
  per-item pipeline) → **primitive-composed**, skip straight to Step 3 and write
  `agent`/`parallel`/`pipeline` calls directly — there's nothing to inventory or
  infer an output schema for, since you're writing the prompts yourself.
- Some steps are existing skills and others are ad hoc agent work → do both:
  inventory only the skill steps (Step 1), and for the primitive steps just
  decide the prompt and, if a later step needs structured output from it, a
  `schema`.

### 1. Inventory what's available (skill-chain steps only)
Read the system prompt's `# Available skills` (SKILL.md skills) and
`# Browser recordings` (recordings) sections. List the candidates relevant to the
user's goal — with their params, and, for recordings, their outputs — and ask
which ones, in what order.

Check for a **name collision**: one name can exist as *both* a recording and a
SKILL.md skill. That's no longer an error — `recording("x")` always picks the
recording, `skill("x")` always picks the skill — but it IS a readability trap
for whoever reads the script later. Flag it, and prefer renaming one of them.

### 2. Wire outputs → inputs (skill-chain steps only)
For each adjacent pair, propose how the earlier step's output feeds the next
step's params, then have the user confirm *before* you generate anything. Be
honest that the two skill types give you different amounts to work with:

  step's `inputs`. This is manifest-driven and reliable.
- **Upstream is a SKILL.md skill** — the manifest does **not** list its outputs.
  Infer the likely output shape from the skill's description/body and **propose a
  call-site `schema`** for that step so its reply comes back structured. Show the
  user the shape you assumed and ask them to confirm or fix it. You are

For a **primitive-composed** step feeding another primitive-composed step, the
same idea applies but there's no manifest at all: you decide both the upstream
`agent()`'s `schema` (if you need structured output) and how the result is used
downstream, and confirm your choice with the user the same way.

### 3. Generate the Ruby workflow
The script is **Ruby (mruby), not JavaScript**. Read inputs via `args`. Show it
to the user before running. Shape for a skill chain:

```ruby
# invoked as: workflow name=monthly-report, args={ "month" => "2026-06" }
dl  = recording("download-excels", { "month" => args["month"] })    # recording → {"files"=>[...]}
tbl = skill("merge-excels", { "inputs" => dl["files"] },            # SKILL.md, proposed schema
            schema: '{"type":"object","properties":{"path":{"type":"string"}},"required":["path"]}')
ppt = skill("excels-to-ppt", { "table" => tbl["path"] })            # SKILL.md
ppt                                                                 # last expression = the result
```

Shape for a primitive-composed workflow — no `skill()` call anywhere:

```ruby
# invoked as: workflow name=diff-review
findings = parallel(["correctness", "security", "perf"]) do |dimension|
  agent("Review the current diff for #{dimension} issues", read_only: true)
end
findings.each { |f| log(f) }
findings
```

A failed `agent()`/`skill()`/`recording()` raises and halts the run, so you
don't have to check each result for errors.

### 4. Dry-run to validate the wiring — it is asynchronous
The `workflow` tool runs in the **background**: it returns a run id, and you must
poll `workflow_status(id)` until the run reports done before judging it. Don't
declare success before results land; cap how many times you poll.

A dry-run **actually executes** the steps, and a browser recording drives a real

- validate only the SKILL.md tail by hand-feeding a sample value for the
  recording's output (e.g. pass a couple of file paths as `inputs`), and validate
  the recording itself separately with the `browser` tool's `replay`.

Fix any wiring error and re-run before saving.

### 5. Save it and show how to run it
Call `workflow_save(name, script, description)` — it writes to
`~/.octo/workflows`, available across every project. Confirm the name with
the user first.

Then tell them the three ways to run it:
- **In chat** — ask to run the workflow by name (passing `args`).
- **CLI / headless** — run it by name.
- **On a schedule** — use the `cron-task-creator` skill.

### 6. State the constraints
- A workflow that includes a browser recording needs a live Chrome **every time
  it runs** — it errors clearly in a headless/cron run without one. Say so when
  the flow has a recording in it. A pure primitive-composed workflow has no such
  constraint.
- A SKILL.md or `agent()` step's structured handoff depends on the call-site
  `schema` you proposed in step 2; without one, that step returns free text.

## Don't
- Don't author a new SKILL.md — that is `skill-creator`.
- Don't design cadence/state/trigger for a recurring loop — use `cron-task-creator` to schedule a saved workflow instead; don't ask "定时跑还是手动触发" or "这个 workflow 解决什么场景"
  as scoping questions, since scheduling is only ever a *consumer* of a saved
  workflow (mentioned once, in Step 5, as one of three ways to run it by name).
- Don't save before the user has confirmed the name.
- Don't report the dry-run as passing before `workflow_status` says done.
