What it does

Template Generator is an agent skill from dafthunk-com/dafthunk. Generate workflow templates with coherent node graphs and integration tests

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Integration testing and Workflow automation. It works with React, Cloudflare, TypeScript and n8n. The repository describes itself as: A workflow execution platform built on top of the fantastic Cloudflare infrastructure. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

“/template-generator”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 66be308. 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:
- pnpm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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

Template Generator loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 281 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~24
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.4k

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.

name: template-generator
description: Generate workflow templates with coherent node graphs and integration tests

Template Generator Skill

Generate workflow templates: discover nodes, design graphs, wire edges correctly, create tests.

Runtime Essentials

Topological execution: Nodes run in dependency order (edges define order)
Data flows through edges: sourceOutput → targetInput (port names must match exactly)
Skipping: If all upstream edges fail/skip, downstream nodes skip (not an error)
No cycles: Runtime rejects circular dependencies

Discover Nodes

Directory structure:

packages/runtime/src/nodes/
├── input/      # TextInputNode, ImageInputNode, NumberInputNode...
├── preview/    # TextPreviewNode, ImagePreviewNode, NumberPreviewNode...
├── text/       # Summarization, translation, sentiment
├── image/      # Generation, manipulation
├── audio/      # Processing, transcription
├── anthropic/  # Claude models
├── openai/     # GPT models
├── logic/      # ConditionalForkNode, ConditionalJoinNode
└── ...         # json/, math/, fetch/, browser/, etc.

Search commands:

bash

Grep pattern="translate" path="apps/api/src/nodes" glob="*.ts"
Glob pattern="packages/runtime/src/nodes/text/*.ts"

Read node interface - look for nodeType.inputs and nodeType.outputs:

bash

Read file_path="packages/runtime/src/nodes/text/bart-large-cnn-node.ts"

Key fields: inputs[].name → targetInput, outputs[].name → sourceOutput

Trigger Types

The type field defines how the workflow is triggered:

Type	Description	Entry Node
`manual`	User-initiated via UI/API	Input nodes (TextInputNode, etc.)
`email_message`	Triggered by incoming email	ReceiveEmailNode
`http_request`	Triggered by HTTP request (sync)	HttpRequestNode
`http_webhook`	Triggered by webhook (async)	HttpRequestNode
`scheduled`	Triggered on schedule (cron)	ReceiveScheduledTriggerNode
`queue_message`	Triggered by queue message	ReceiveQueueMessageNode

Finding trigger-compatible nodes: Nodes declare which triggers they work with via the compatibility field in their nodeType. Search for compatible nodes:

bash

Grep pattern="compatibility:.*email_message" path="apps/api/src/nodes" glob="*.ts"
Grep pattern="compatibility:.*http_request" path="apps/api/src/nodes" glob="*.ts"

Create Template

File: apps/api/src/templates/{template-id}.ts

typescript

import type { WorkflowTemplate } from "@dafthunk/types";
import { TextInputNode } from "../nodes/input/text-input-node";
import { BartLargeCnnNode } from "../nodes/text/bart-large-cnn-node";
import { TextPreviewNode } from "../nodes/preview/text-preview-node";

export const myTemplate: WorkflowTemplate = {
  id: "my-template",
  name: "My Template",
  description: "What it does",
  icon: "file-text",
  type: "manual",
  tags: ["text", "ai"],
  nodes: [
    TextInputNode.create({
      id: "text-to-process",
      name: "Text to Process",
      position: { x: 100, y: 100 },
      inputs: { value: "Sample text...", rows: 4 },
    }),
    BartLargeCnnNode.create({
      id: "summarizer",
      name: "Summarizer",
      position: { x: 500, y: 100 },
    }),
    TextPreviewNode.create({
      id: "result",
      name: "Summary",
      position: { x: 900, y: 100 },
    }),
  ],
  edges: [
    { source: "text-to-process", target: "summarizer", sourceOutput: "value", targetInput: "inputText" },
    { source: "summarizer", target: "result", sourceOutput: "summary", targetInput: "value" },
  ],
};

Positioning: Inputs at x:100, processing at x:500, outputs at x:900. Stack vertically with 200px spacing.

Naming: IDs are kebab-case (text-to-translate). Names are short Title Case, omit "Preview" for outputs.

Logic Nodes

ConditionalForkNode - splits flow based on boolean:

Inputs: condition (boolean), value (any)
Outputs: true, false (only ONE has value)

ConditionalJoinNode - merges exclusive branches:

Inputs: a, b (exactly ONE must have value)
Output: result

[BooleanInput] ──condition──► [Fork] ──true──► [ProcessorA] ──►┐
[TextInput] ────value──────►        ──false─► [ProcessorB] ──►├─► [Join] ──► [Preview]

Register & Test

Register in apps/api/src/templates/index.ts:

typescript

import { myTemplate } from "./my-template";
export const workflowTemplates = [..., myTemplate];

Test file {template-id}.integration.ts:

typescript

describe("My Template", () => {
  it("should have valid structure", () => {
    expect(myTemplate.nodes).toHaveLength(3);
    expect(myTemplate.edges).toHaveLength(2);
    const nodeIds = new Set(myTemplate.nodes.map(n => n.id));
    for (const edge of myTemplate.edges) {
      expect(nodeIds.has(edge.source)).toBe(true);
      expect(nodeIds.has(edge.target)).toBe(true);
    }
  });
});

Run: pnpm typecheck && pnpm --filter '@dafthunk/api' test {template-id}
