Groq Core Workflow A

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Implementing chat interfaces
• Function calling
• Structured output
• Building AI features with Groqs fast inference

Example prompts

• “s fast inference. Trigger with phrases like”
• “groq tool use”
• “groq function calling”
• “/groq-core-workflow-a”

Requirements

• Node.js
• A credential in GROQ_API_KEY
• Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash(npm:*)

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Chat completion — send system + user messages to
2. 2Tool use / function calling — a three-phase loop: send the message with
3. 3JSON mode — set response_format: { type: "json_object" } and describe
4. 4Structured outputs — use response_format.json_schema with
5. 5Multi-turn conversation — accumulate the message history and push each

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. 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:

  • Read
  • Write
  • Edit
  • Bash(npm:*)

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • npm

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

• Network

  Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

  • console.groq.com

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

  • GROQ_API_KEY

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

• Compatibility

  Designed for Claude Code

  From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Groq Core Workflow A loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 554 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~85

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.5k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~3.2k

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

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.
