What it does

Wf Player is an agent skill from catlog22/Claude-Code-Workflow. Workflow template player — load a JSON template produced by wf-composer, bind context variables, execute nodes in DAG order (serial/parallel), persist state at checkpoints, support resume from any checkpoint. Uses ccw-coordinator serial-blocking for CLI nodes and team-coordinate worker pattern for parallel agent nodes. Triggers on "wf-player " or "/wf-player".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files (for example `phases/01-load.md`, `phases/02-instantiate.md` and `phases/03-execute.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Session handoff and Subagents. The repository describes itself as: JSON-driven multi-agent cadence-team development framework with intelligent CLI orchestration (Gemini/Qwen/Codex), context-first architecture, and automated workflow execution. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Session handoff
  • Tasks that involve Subagents

Example prompts

  • “wf-player”
  • “/wf-player”
  • “/wf-player”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Agent(*), AskUserQuestion(*), Read(*), Write(*), Edit(*), Bash(*), Glob(*), Grep(*), Skill(*)

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. (Resume): Session Reconciliation
  2. Load & Bind
  3. Instantiate
  4. Execute Loop
  5. Complete

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 07491b0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Agent(*)
    • AskUserQuestion(*)
    • Read(*)
    • Write(*)
    • Edit(*)
    • Bash(*)
    • Glob(*)
    • Grep(*)
    • Skill(*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Wf Player loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 346 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~93
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Agent(*), AskUserQuestion(*), Read(*), Write(*), Edit(*), Bash(*), Glob(*), Grep(*), Skill(*)

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Workflow Run

Load a workflow template → bind variables → execute DAG → persist checkpoints → resume capable.

  +-- Phase 0: Entry Router
       |-- --list        -> list available templates, exit
       |-- --resume      -> load session, skip to Phase 3 (Execute)

  ...

Run: Skill(skill="wf-player", args="<slug> --context goal='...'")

Phase 0 (Resume): Session Reconciliation

Trigger: --resume <session-id> or active WFR session found in .workflow/sessions/WFR-*/

  1. Scan .workflow/sessions/WFR-*/session-state.json for status = "running" | "paused"
  2. Multiple found → AskUserQuestion for selection
  3. Load session-state.json
  4. Identify last_checkpoint and node_states
  5. Reset any running nodes back to pending (they were interrupted)
  6. Determine next executable node from topological_order after last checkpoint
  7. Resume at Phase 3 (Execute Loop) from that node

Phase 1: Load & Bind

Read phases/01-load.md and execute.

Objective: Load template, collect missing variables, bind all {variable} references.

Success: Template loaded, all required variables bound, bound_context{} ready.


Phase 2: Instantiate

Read phases/02-instantiate.md and execute.

Objective: Create WFR session directory, init state, compute execution plan.

Success: session-state.json written, topological_order ready.


Phase 3: Execute Loop

Read phases/03-execute.md and execute.

Objective: Execute each node in topological_order using appropriate mechanism.

CRITICAL — CLI node blocking:

  • CLI nodes launch ccw cli in background and immediately STOP
  • Wait for hook callback — DO NOT poll with TaskOutput
  • Hook callback resumes execution at next node

Success: All nodes completed, all checkpoints saved.


Phase 4: Complete

Read phases/04-complete.md and execute.

Objective: Archive session, output execution summary and artifact paths.

Wf Player is an agent skill from catlog22/Claude-Code-Workflow. Workflow template player — load a JSON template produced by wf-composer, bind context variables, execute nodes in DAG order (serial/parallel), persist state at checkpoints, support resume from any checkpoint.

When should I use Wf Player?

Wf Player fits situations like: tasks that involve Session handoff; tasks that involve Subagents.

How do I install Wf Player in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add catlog22/Claude-Code-Workflow --skill wf-player -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/wf-player in catlog22/Claude-Code-Workflow) into .claude/skills/wf-player in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Wf Player in Codex?

Run `npx skills add catlog22/Claude-Code-Workflow --skill wf-player -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/wf-player in catlog22/Claude-Code-Workflow) into .agents/skills/wf-player in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Wf Player in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add catlog22/Claude-Code-Workflow --skill wf-player -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/wf-player, .gemini/skills/wf-player, .github/skills/wf-player and .opencode/skills/wf-player in your project.

What does Wf Player need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Wf Player needs the command-line tools its instructions call (node). Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Agent(*), AskUserQuestion(*), Read(*), Write(*), Edit(*), Bash(*), Glob(*), Grep(*), Skill(*).

Does Wf Player access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Wf Player safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Wf Player use?

Wf Player is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Wf Player use?

About 1.3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Wf Player?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Wf Player: Orchestrator (backnotprop/orchestrator, 118 stars), Knowledge Agent Execution And Orchestration (echoVic/blade-code, 181 stars), Explore (yonatangross/orchestkit, 289 stars) and Process (notque/vexjoy-agent, 438 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Wf Player?

catlog22 (a GitHub user) maintains it in catlog22/Claude-Code-Workflow, which has 2,130 GitHub stars. The repository holds 82 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on June 18, 2026.
