What it does
Flow Step Development is an agent skill from ChatbotXIO/ChatbotX. Add new flow steps with state-based routing (success/error/skip). Covers the full lifecycle: flow-config schema, worker handler, builder viewer, and step registration. Use when creating any step that branches to a different node based on its outcome.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: Open-source ManyChat alternative, built for AI. Omnichannel marketing across WhatsApp, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, Zalo, Email, API, and Webchat 🤖.
When your agent uses it
- Creating any step that branches to a different node based on its outcome
Example prompts
- “/flow-step-development”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Define the schema in packages/flow-config
- Register the step type
- Write the worker handler
- Register in step.ts
- Build the viewer (builder)
- Register the step definition
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 565c51a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
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
Flow Step Development loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 626 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 626 words (~2,222 tokens).
“A step is the unit of work inside a flow node. Steps execute sequentially within a node. After each step, the worker checks the result status and may route to a different node.”
