output-error-direct-ioFix direct I/O in Output SDK workflow functions. An agent skill from growthxai/output.
Output Error Direct Io is an agent skill from growthxai/output. Fix direct I/O in Output SDK workflow functions. Use when workflow hangs, returns undefined, shows "workflow must be deterministic" errors, or when HTTP/API calls are made directly in workflow code.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k 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 Backend & APIs, covering REST APIs. The repository describes itself as: The open-source TypeScript framework for building AI workflows and agents. Designed for Claude Code describe what you want, Claude builds it, with all the best practices already… The licence is Apache-2.0.
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 99ee298. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
BashReadFrom allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npxFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Output Error Direct Io loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 372 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
allowed-tools: Bash, ReadAutomated 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.

.claude/skills/output-error-direct-io/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).This skill helps diagnose and fix a critical error pattern where I/O operations (HTTP calls, database queries, file operations) are performed directly in workflow functions instead of in steps. This violates Temporal's determinism requirements.
You're seeing:
Workflow functions must be deterministic - they should only orchestrate steps, not perform I/O directly. When you make HTTP calls, database queries, or any external operations directly in a workflow function:
// WRONG: I/O directly in workflow
export default workflow( {
fn: async input => {
const response = await fetch( 'https://api.example.com/data' ); // BAD!
const data = await response.json();
return { data };
}
} );// WRONG: Database I/O in workflow
export default workflow( {
fn: async input => {
const user = await db.users.findById( input.userId ); // BAD!
return { user };
}
} );// WRONG: File I/O in workflow
import fs from 'fs/promises';
export default workflow( {
fn: async input => {
const data = await fs.readFile( input.path, 'utf-8' ); // BAD!
return { data };
}
} );Move ALL I/O operations to step functions. Steps are designed to handle non-deterministic operations.
export default workflow( {
fn: async input => {
const response = await fetch( 'https://api.example.com/data' );
const data = await response.json();
return { data };
}
} );import { z, step, workflow } from '@outputai/core';
import { createKyClient } from '@outputai/http';
// Create a step for the I/O operation
export const fetchData = step( {
name: 'fetchData',
inputSchema: z.object( {
endpoint: z.string()
} ),
outputSchema: z.object( {
data: z.unknown()
} ),
fn: async input => {
const client = createKyClient( { prefix: 'https://api.example.com' } );
const data = await client.get( input.endpoint ).json();
return { data };
}
} );
// Workflow only orchestrates steps
export default workflow( {
inputSchema: z.object( {} ),
outputSchema: z.object( { data: z.unknown() } ),
fn: async input => {
const result = await fetchData( { endpoint: 'data' } );
return result;
}
} );export default workflow( {
fn: async input => {
const user = await prisma.user.findUnique( {
where: { id: input.userId }
} );
const orders = await prisma.order.findMany( {
where: { userId: input.userId }
} );
return { user, orders };
}
} );import { z, step, workflow } from '@outputai/core';
import { prisma } from '../lib/db';
export const fetchUser = step( {
name: 'fetchUser',
inputSchema: z.object( { userId: z.string() } ),
outputSchema: z.object( {
user: z.object( {
id: z.string(),
name: z.string(),
email: z.string()
} ).nullable()
} ),
fn: async input => {
const user = await prisma.user.findUnique( {
where: { id: input.userId }
} );
return { user };
}
} );
export const fetchOrders = step( {
name: 'fetchOrders',
inputSchema: z.object( { userId: z.string() } ),
outputSchema: z.object( {
orders: z.array( z.object( {
id: z.string(),
total: z.number()
} ) )
} ),
fn: async input => {
const orders = await prisma.order.findMany( {
where: { userId: input.userId }
} );
return { orders };
}
} );
export default workflow( {
inputSchema: z.object( { userId: z.string() } ),
outputSchema: z.object( {
user: z.unknown(),
orders: z.array( z.unknown() )
} ),
fn: async input => {
const { user } = await fetchUser( { userId: input.userId } );
const { orders } = await fetchOrders( { userId: input.userId } );
return { user, orders };
}
} );Search for common I/O patterns in workflow files:
# Find fetch calls
grep -rn "await fetch" src/workflows/
# Find axios calls
grep -rn "axios\." src/workflows/
# Find database operations
grep -rn "prisma\.\|db\.\|mongoose\." src/workflows/
# Find file system operations
grep -rn "fs\.\|readFile\|writeFile" src/workflows/Then review each match to see if it's in a workflow function vs a step function.
Workflow functions should contain:
await myStep( input )Workflow functions should NOT contain:
After moving I/O to steps:

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add growthxai/output --skill output-error-direct-io -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/output-error-direct-io, .gemini/skills/output-error-direct-io, .github/skills/output-error-direct-io and .opencode/skills/output-error-direct-io in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Output Error Direct Io needs the command-line tools its instructions call (npx). Our summary lists: Node.js. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Bash, Read.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Output Error Direct Io is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.6k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 6.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
