What it does

Windsurf Flows Automation is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Create and manage Windsurf Flows for repetitive tasks. Activate when users mention "windsurf flows", "task automation", "workflow automation", "repetitive tasks", or "process automation". Handles Flow creation and management. Use when working with windsurf flows automation functionality. Trigger with phrases like "windsurf flows automation", "windsurf automation", "windsurf".

Its SKILL.md is about 490 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/directory-structure.md`, `references/errors.md` and `references/examples.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Workflow automation. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • S mention windsurf flows
  • Task automation
  • Workflow automation
  • Repetitive tasks

Example prompts

  • “windsurf flows”
  • “task automation”
  • “workflow automation”
  • “/windsurf-flows-automation”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash(cmd:*)

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify Repetitive Tasks
  2. Design Flow Structure
  3. Create Flow Definitions
  4. Test and Validate
  5. Deploy and Monitor

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(cmd:*)

    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

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

    • docs.windsurf.ai

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Windsurf Flows Automation loads about 488 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 101 tokens; SKILL.md has 127 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~101
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~488
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.4k

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.
