What it does

Workflow From Chats is an agent skill from cursor/plugins, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Extract durable working preferences from recent Cursor chats and convert them into skills, rules, or workflow docs. Use when asked to learn preferences, mine feedback, personalize workflows, or generate team/person-specific agent guidance.

Its SKILL.md is about 670 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: Cursor plugin specification and official plugins.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to learn preferences
  • Personalize workflows
  • Generate team/person-specific agent guidance

Example prompts

  • “/workflow-from-chats”

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. State the target workflow or preference surface in one paragraph.
  2. Build an internal transcript inventory: title/topic, parent conversation ID, approximate date, completion state, relevant subagents, and…
  3. Scan for explicit preferences, corrections, and workflow markers such as "I prefer", "always", "never", "not what I asked", "stop"…
  4. Extract preference atoms: trigger, workflow step, decision rule, quality bar, stop condition, evidence, and confidence.
  5. Rate confidence as strong, medium, weak, or contradicted.
  6. Cluster by workflow shape rather than transcript: shipping, review, simplification, debugging, capture, communication, delegation, or…
  7. Choose the artifact: new skill, skill edit, rule, workflow doc, or no artifact.
  8. Draft only the reusable guidance. Filter anecdotes that will not help future tasks.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ccb5507. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Workflow From Chats loads about 672 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 313 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~672

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 313 words (~672 tokens).
