Fallback workflow for general implementation and debugging tasks without a more specific workflow

  • Tasks that involve Debugging
  • SKILL.md covers Execution Steps and The Loop
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Default Workflow is an agent skill from GoogleCloudPlatform/magic-modules. Fallback workflow for general implementation and debugging tasks without a more specific workflow

Its SKILL.md is about 560 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 Development, covering Debugging. The repository describes itself as: Add Google Cloud Platform support to Terraform.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Debugging

Example prompts

  • “/default-workflow”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Repo Sync
  2. Triage
  3. Generate
  4. Test and Debug
  5. Fix

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e5db069. 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

Default Workflow loads about 556 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 271 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~29
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~556

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 271 words (~556 tokens).

“This document outlines the structured 5-step lifecycle for formal implementation and debugging tasks in Magic Modules.”
