What it does

Develop Workflow is an agent skill from fl-sean03/OpenSDL. Design, change, validate, and test an OpenSDL workflow through a simulation manifest. Use when building or iterating on a laboratory workflow without live equipment.

Its SKILL.md is about 460 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `run.sh`).

It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: A modular Python foundation for reproducible computational and autonomous laboratories. Alpha; the reference profile is simulator-only. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Iterating on a laboratory workflow without live equipment

Example prompts

  • “/develop-workflow”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read the manifest, capability contracts, and a nearby tested workflow.
  2. Confirm that spec.environment is simulation, review every enabled adapter, and trace every
  3. Define typed inputs, step dependencies, value bindings, resources, timeouts, retries, and outputs.
  4. Add or update focused workflow validation and execution tests.
  5. Run uv run --locked opensdl validate MANIFEST --workflow WORKFLOW.
  6. Run .agents/skills/develop-workflow/run.sh WORKFLOW MANIFEST 'INPUTS_JSON'. Before the runtime
  7. Inspect failure events when the run does not complete. Use debug-run for a persisted failure.
  8. Export the run when the user needs portable execution evidence.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 43f4988. 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

    Ships script files (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • uv

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, 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

Develop Workflow loads about 462 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 216 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~462

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.

Develop a simulated workflow

Inputs

  • simulation manifest path
  • workflow path
  • intended inputs, outputs, and failure behavior
  • representative JSON inputs

Procedure

  1. Read the manifest, capability contracts, and a nearby tested workflow.
  2. Confirm that spec.environment is simulation, review every enabled adapter, and trace every selected capability through its enabled binding to the intended adapter plugin.
  3. Define typed inputs, step dependencies, value bindings, resources, timeouts, retries, and outputs.
  4. Add or update focused workflow validation and execution tests.
  5. Run uv run --locked opensdl validate MANIFEST --workflow WORKFLOW.
  6. Run .agents/skills/develop-workflow/run.sh WORKFLOW MANIFEST 'INPUTS_JSON'. Before the runtime starts any adapter, the helper permits only the reviewed OpenSDL reference simulated-lab, local-compute, and human-task entry points and verifies every enabled plugin's module and distribution provenance. Qualify and review any addition before changing that allowlist.
  7. Inspect failure events when the run does not complete. Use debug-run for a persisted failure.
  8. Export the run when the user needs portable execution evidence.

Completion

The workflow validates, its tests pass, and a representative simulation run produces the expected outputs and persisted evidence.

Stop conditions

Stop before execution when the manifest environment is not simulation, a binding is missing or ambiguous, any enabled plugin is outside the reviewed simulation allowlist, or the workflow needs an operation that no typed capability provides.
