What it does

Woml is an agent skill from dali-benothmen/woml. Create, explain, validate, and repair WOML workflow automation files. Use when a task involves .woml files, WOML triggers, steps, embedded JavaScript, context references, control flow, approvals, lifecycle hooks, services, providers, secrets, local modules, or WOML CLI operations.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including reference files (for example `README.md`, `references/cli.md` and `references/context-and-scripts.md`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Workflow automation. It works with JavaScript, Rust and TypeScript. The repository describes itself as: Workflow applications as readable documents. Build automations, that can automate anything.

When your agent uses it

  • A task involves .woml files
  • Embedded JavaScript
  • Context references
  • Lifecycle hooks

Example prompts

  • “/woml”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the trigger, input payload, required steps, external systems, and expected final result. Ask only when a missing product decision…
  2. Inspect nearby .woml files and project modules when modifying an existing project. Preserve its naming and credential conventions.
  3. Choose the smallest WOML structure that expresses the automation clearly. Keep ordinary sequencing in and add control-flow elements only…
  4. Put business logic in as ordinary asynchronous JavaScript. Do not wrap it in a function and do not add CDATA.
  5. Give every workflow and executable item a stable, descriptive ID. Add name and description when they improve terminal output for a real…
  6. Return compact JSON-compatible values from steps. Persist only data that downstream steps need.
  7. Put credentials in WOML secrets and reference them symbolically. Never place literal credentials in source.
  8. Run woml check after creating or changing a workflow when the CLI is available. Repair source-located diagnostics before presenting the…
  9. Activate or trigger the workflow only when the user requested execution. woml run is a long-lived automation runtime, not merely a compile…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 622b47c. 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

Woml loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~18k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 664 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~18k

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 664 words (~1,389 tokens).

“Build readable, executable WOML workflows from the user's automation goal.”
