What it does

Output Workflow Trace File is an agent skill from growthxai/output. Read and render the output of a local Output SDK workflow trace file as clean readable markdown. Use when the user wants to view what a recent workflow produced, see the result from a local trace file, or render trace output as a document.

Its SKILL.md is about 660 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 Documents & Office. 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

  • The user wants to view what a recent workflow produced
  • See the result from a local trace file
  • Render trace output as a document

Example prompts

  • “/output-workflow-trace-file”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Find the trace JSON file
  2. Extract the output from the trace file. You only need output from the JSON root — skip children and input.
  3. Save a markdown file to tmp/trace_result__.md (create the tmp/ directory if it doesn't exist) with
  4. Tell the user the saved file path.

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 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • jq

    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

Output Workflow Trace File loads about 656 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 351 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~656

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.

description
Read and render the output of a local Output SDK workflow trace file as clean readable markdown. Use when the user wants to view what a recent workflow produced, see the result from a local trace file, or render trace output as a document.

Show just the final output of an Output.ai workflow trace — the actual result, rendered as readable markdown.

The argument the user provided is either a workflow name (e.g. context_competitors) or a workflow run ID. If no argument is provided, use the most recent trace across all workflows.

Instructions

  1. Find the trace JSON file:

    • Trace files live in logs/runs/<workflow_name>/ as JSON files
    • Filenames follow the pattern: <timestamp>_<workflow_id>.json
    • If a workflow name is given, find the latest .json file in logs/runs/<workflow_name>/
    • If a run ID is given, search across all logs/runs/*/ folders for a file containing that ID in its filename
    • If no argument, find the most recently modified .json file across all logs/runs/*/ folders

  2. Extract the output from the trace file. You only need output from the JSON root — skip children and input.

    Strategy for large files (trace files can be 10k+ lines):

    • First, try jq '.output' <file> to extract directly — this is the fastest path
    • If jq is not available: read the last 500 lines of the file (the output field is at the root level, near the end of the JSON). Work backwards in chunks if needed
    • Do NOT read the entire file from the top — the children array with step details can be thousands of lines and you don't need any of it

  3. Save a markdown file to tmp/trace_result_<workflow_name>_<id>.md (create the tmp/ directory if it doesn't exist) with:

    Header (brief)
    • One line: workflow name, ID, duration
    Result

    Render output as clean, readable markdown:

    • String fields that contain markdown → render directly
    • Arrays of objects → render each as a sub-section with key fields
    • Arrays of strings → numbered lists
    • Nested objects → sub-sections with key-value pairs
    • URLs → render as links
    • Long text excerpts → render as blockquotes

    The goal is a document you'd want to READ, not debug. Make it look good.

  4. Tell the user the saved file path.

Show full SKILL.md (41 more words)Show less

Important

  • This is a RESULT view — render for readability, not debugging
  • Do NOT include step details, inputs/outputs, or timing per step
  • Do NOT wrap things in JSON code blocks — this should read like a document
  • Include the full output without truncation
