What it does

The agent first scopes the deployment by listing the agents, capabilities and runtime needs (sessions, resume, event bus, checkpoint stores) required, then drafts the deployment document in the order resources, agents, runtime, deciding between whole-resource and item-level dependency references. Sub-documents for workspace, sandbox and other resources follow the owning module's schema, with workspace written before sandbox since custom sandbox runners may depend on it, and memory implementation details left to the app's own registered modules.

Graph JSON wiring prefers routing the inference.Router into the graph engine over pinning a model directly, requires the nested id form for model references, and needs script nodes to carry runtime and source fields with edges wired back to the inference node after tool nodes. A bundled shell script runs an L2 structural validator that strictly decodes the deployment document, the runtime subtree and the graph definition, rejecting unknown fields and checking shapes, but it does not build resources, resolve settings files, decode node configs or make provider calls. A minimal runnable deployment template is included as a starting point.

When your agent uses it

  • Writing a new FlowCraft deployment configuration
  • Fixing a FlowCraft config build failure such as a missing route policy
  • Wiring graph JSON nodes for an agent's capabilities

Example prompts

  • “Write a minimal FlowCraft deploy.yaml for an agent with chat and tool capabilities.”
  • “My graph build fails with "not registered". Fix the FlowCraft config.”
  • “Validate this FlowCraft deployment file and fix any structural errors.”

Requirements

  • Go, since the config validator pins the FlowCraft core module in its go.mod

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 88944e3. 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 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.

    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

FlowCraft Config Authoring loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~24k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 173 tokens; SKILL.md has 995 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~173
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~24k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description
Author, validate, and troubleshoot complete FlowCraft configuration: deployment documents (deploy.yaml with the runtime section, inference/workspace/sandbox/tool sub-documents, core/memory contracts, and graph JSON node wiring), craft.yaml application definitions, and plugin.json manifests. Use when writing or reviewing FlowCraft configs, assembling an agent deployment on top of a Craft, adding runtime/session settings, building graph definitions, defining plugins and their permissions, resolving config build failures ("not registered", dead configuration, route policy missing, graph node errors), or copying a minimal runnable FlowCraft deployment or craft template.

FlowCraft Config Authoring

Write complete FlowCraft deployment configuration: deploy.yaml, the runtime section, resource sub-documents, and graph JSON. Validate with the L2 structural validator and fix errors against the reference cards.

Workflow

  1. Scope the deployment. Collect the agents, capabilities (chat, tools, memory, scripts, sandboxing), and runtime needs (sessions, resume, event bus, checkpoint stores).

  2. Draft the deployment document. deploy.yaml is the convention but any filename works; pass whatever path you choose to the validator. Read references/deploy.md first. Order the areas: resources → agents → runtime. Decide whole-resource vs item dep refs (infer vs ws/project).

  3. Write sub-documents. Read references/resources.md for the owning module's schema. Workspace before sandbox (custom sandbox runners may depend on workspace resources). Memory implementation modules are app-registered — omit implementation examples; core/memory contracts and hooks are fine to use.

  4. Write graph JSON. Read references/graph.md. Prefer routing: wire the inference.Router into the graph engine and omit model in inference nodes; pin model only when no router is wired. Model refs must use the nested id form; script nodes need runtime and source; wire edges back to the inference node after tool nodes.

  5. Assemble the Craft application. When the deployment runs inside a Craft, wrap it in craft.yaml: an inline deploy (or base_layers), plus ui, plugins (roots, tool_registry, node_targets) and host_tools where they matter. Read references/craft.md, then copy assets/minimal-craft as a starting point. A definition is checked by the host with craft.ParseDefinition; the standalone validator does not cover craft.yaml (see "Compatibility and versioning").

  6. Validate structurally with L2. Run skills/flowcraft-config/scripts/validate-config.sh <deployment-file> (or the installed copy's script). The validator pins the FlowCraft core module in its go.mod and works standalone from any directory. It is structural only: it strictly decodes the document through core/deploy.Parse (unknown fields are rejected, resource/agent entries are shape-checked), strictly decodes and validates the runtime subtree through core/runtime.DecodeConfig when present, and structurally validates graph definitions through core/graph.GraphDefinition.Validate. It does not build resources: no factory registry, no settings file/embed resolution, no node config decoding, no credentials, and no provider calls. Custom and app-registered kinds pass as long as they fit the resource envelope; their settings semantics are the host build's job.

    Sub-documents can also be validated on their own: validate-config.sh --type inference inference.yaml (types: deploy, inference, workspace, sandbox, tool, graph, agent). Standalone types are parsed as JSON/YAML with strict YAML conversion (duplicate keys rejected, single document enforced); graph additionally runs GraphDefinition.Validate (unique node ids, entry presence, edge endpoints). No sub-document schema is decoded in standalone mode — inference, workspace, sandbox, tool, and agent are syntax checks only.

  7. Fix errors. Each failure is prefixed [parse], [graph], or [build] ([parse] input/syntax errors, [graph] graph definition errors, [build] deploy document or runtime subtree errors); validation stops at the first error. Consult references/pitfalls.md for the error → cause map. The validator prints no warnings: custom and app-registered kinds pass structurally, and settings semantics it cannot check are the host build's responsibility.

  8. Hand off. Report the structural validation result and what L2 could not verify: settings schemas, factory resolution, file/embed references, and graph node configs are validated only when the host builds the deployment with its own registry. Note the registration code the host still needs. If the deployment relies on runtime agent registration, call out that it needs the live registry API (Runtime.RegisterAgent / UnregisterAgent; see references/runtime.md) and any dynamic_catalog default/WithToolAssembly requirement.

Cross-file invariants

These invariants describe core semantics. The validator enforces the structural subset (see step 6); the rest are enforced when the host builds the deployment with its own factory registry.

  • Memory hooks bind a whole memory.Assembly resource; the settings schema is impl-owned. Concrete implementations are app-registered.
  • Sandbox runners are sandbox.Runner resources; first-party impls (local, bwrap, seatbelt) take no deps, custom impls declare their own.
  • runtime.event_bus is required when a runtime section exists, and event_bus/checkpoint_store/dynamic_catalog.tools values must name resources in the document (the host build resolves them by contract).
  • sessions.resume: true requires checkpoint_store.
  • Agent tools is an allow-list, not a catalog declaration; policy is harness state, not engine settings.
  • Graph model refs: model: {id: {provider, name}}.
  • Runtime-registered agents reuse the deployment assembly path; their names must not collide with deployed agents, and with a dynamic_catalog they need a tool mapping or a default.
  • craft.yaml wraps the deployment document: deploy and base_layers are mutually exclusive and one is required, craft.id and craft.version are required, and min_host_version is a compatibility floor checked against the host (craft.Version).
  • A plugin's gated sections are fail-closed: mcp / skills / hooks / nodes declared without mcp:provide / skills:provide / hooks:provide / nodes:provide are dropped, and an unknown permission is rejected rather than ignored.
  • plugins.tool_registry and plugins.node_targets are mounting points resolved against the composed document — the named resource or agent must exist — and a plugin can never register a resource kind.

Templates

Copy assets/minimal-deploy as a starting point: one agent, graph inference node, and a validated runtime section. Replace the model/provider references and workspace root, then extend per the workflow.

Copy assets/minimal-craft when the deployment runs inside a Craft: it wraps an inline deploy with ui, plugins and host_tools, and ships a sample plugin directory.

Compatibility and versioning

One skill version pins one FlowCraft version. The validator's go.mod requires exactly github.com/GizClaw/flowcraft/core v0.4.10; the schema cards in this skill document that release (no driver/* or backends/* modules are required, since the validator never constructs factories). When FlowCraft releases a new version, bump the pin and reconcile the cards in the same change. Custom kinds are structurally valid by design; their factories and settings schemas live in the host application.

The validator pins core only and does not validate craft.yaml: no craft/vX.Y.Z release exists, so a standalone validator cannot resolve the craft module. A craft definition is checked by the host with craft.ParseDefinition, and its factories by the host registry.
