Authors Friday workspace signals with correct provider configs, payload schemas, and runtime wiring.

  • Editing signals in workspace.yml

  • A signal needs to accept user input from the Run dialog

What it does

Writing Workspace Signals is an agent skill from friday-platform/friday-studio. Authors Friday workspace signals with correct provider configs, payload schemas, and runtime wiring. Use when creating or editing signals in workspace.yml; when a signal needs to accept user input from the Run dialog; or when signal validation or runtime dispatch fails.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including assets (for example `assets/http-signal-with-schema.yml`, `assets/minimal-http-signal.yml` and `assets/schedule-signal.yml`).

It sits in Backend & APIs. The repository describes itself as: Agent Harness Platform — shareable workspaces, MCP tools, skills, memory, and cron/webhook automations. Self-hosted and transparent.

When your agent uses it

  • Editing signals in workspace.yml
  • A signal needs to accept user input from the Run dialog
  • Signal validation
  • Runtime dispatch fails

Example prompts

  • “Use the writing-workspace-signals skill to author Friday workspace signals with correct provider configs, payload schemas, and runtime wiring”
  • “/writing-workspace-signals”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fb3069a. 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 (its code samples are yaml).

    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

Writing Workspace Signals loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 821 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k

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 821 words (~2,108 tokens).

“No schema → Run dialog renders no input fields → payload arrives empty. Job gets {} instead of the params it expects.”
