What it does

Output Workflow Result is an agent skill from growthxai/output. Get the result of an Output SDK workflow execution. Use when retrieving the output of a completed workflow, getting the return value, or checking what a workflow produced after async execution.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

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.

When your agent uses it

  • Retrieving the output of a completed workflow
  • Getting the return value
  • Checking what a workflow produced after async execution

Example prompts

  • “/output-workflow-result”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 99ee298. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx
    • jq

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

  • Network

    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.

  • 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

Output Workflow Result loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 316 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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.

Get Workflow Execution Result

Overview

This skill retrieves the result (return value) of a completed workflow execution. Use it after a workflow started with npx output workflow start has completed, or to retrieve results from historical runs.

When to Use This Skill

  • Getting output from an asynchronously started workflow
  • Retrieving results from a completed workflow
  • Checking what a workflow produced
  • Processing workflow output in scripts
  • Comparing results between runs

Prerequisites

  • The workflow must have completed (status: COMPLETED)
  • You need the workflow ID
  • For FAILED workflows, use npx output workflow debug instead

Instructions

Get Result
bash
npx output workflow result <workflowId>

The result is the return value of the workflow function, typically JSON.

Check Status First

Before getting results, verify the workflow completed:

bash
npx output workflow status <workflowId>
# Should show: COMPLETED

npx output workflow result <workflowId>

Understanding Results

Success Results

A successful workflow returns the value from its fn function:

typescript
// Workflow code
export default workflow( {
  fn: async input => {
    return { processed: true, count: 42 };
  }
} );
bash
# Result output
npx output workflow result abc123
# { "processed": true, "count": 42 }
Error Results

If you try to get the result of a failed workflow:

  • You'll get an error message
  • Use npx output workflow debug instead to see what went wrong
No Result (void workflows)

Some workflows don't return a value:

bash
npx output workflow result abc123
# null

Examples

Scenario: Get result after async start

bash
# Start workflow
npx output workflow start calculate --input '{"values": [1, 2, 3]}'
# Output: Workflow ID: calc-abc123

# Wait for completion
npx output workflow status calc-abc123
# Status: COMPLETED

# Get the result
npx output workflow result calc-abc123
# { "sum": 6, "average": 2 }

Scenario: Process result with jq

bash
# Extract specific field
npx output workflow result abc123 | jq '.total'

# Format for display
npx output workflow result abc123 | jq '.'

# Save to file
npx output workflow result abc123 > result.json

Scenario: Compare results between runs

bash
# Get results from two runs
npx output workflow result run-1-abc > result1.json
npx output workflow result run-2-xyz > result2.json

# Compare
diff result1.json result2.json

Scenario: Use in a script

bash
WORKFLOW_ID="abc123"

# Wait for completion
while [[ $(npx output workflow status $WORKFLOW_ID) == *"RUNNING"* ]]; do
  sleep 5
done

# Check if completed successfully
if [[ $(npx output workflow status $WORKFLOW_ID) == *"COMPLETED"* ]]; then
  RESULT=$(npx output workflow result $WORKFLOW_ID)
  echo "Workflow result: $RESULT"
else
  echo "Workflow did not complete successfully"
  npx output workflow debug $WORKFLOW_ID
fi

Handling Different Result Types

JSON Objects
bash
npx output workflow result abc123
# { "key": "value", "nested": { "data": true } }
Arrays
bash
npx output workflow result abc123
# [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Primitive Values
bash
npx output workflow result abc123
# 42

npx output workflow result abc123
# "success"

npx output workflow result abc123
# true
Large Results

For large results, redirect to a file:

bash
npx output workflow result abc123 > large-result.json

Error Handling

"Workflow not found"
  • Check the workflow ID is correct
  • Use npx output workflow runs list to find valid IDs
"Workflow not completed"
  • Check status: npx output workflow status <id>
  • Wait for COMPLETED status before getting result
  • If RUNNING, wait and try again
  • If FAILED, use npx output workflow debug
"No result available"
  • The workflow may return void/undefined
  • Check the workflow code to see what it returns
  • npx output workflow status <id> - Check if workflow completed
  • npx output workflow debug <id> - Debug failed workflows
  • npx output workflow run <name> - Run and get result in one step
  • npx output workflow runs list - Find workflow IDs
