  • Calls pnpm and curl; needs UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN and QSTASH_TOKEN

What it does

Workflow Management is an agent skill from Microck/ordinary-claude-skills. Create, debug, or modify QStash workflows for data updates and social media posting in the API service. Use when adding new automated jobs, fixing workflow errors, or updating scheduling logic.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `metadata.json`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation. It works with Upstash. The repository describes itself as: An unappealing collection of Claude Skills and resources.

When your agent uses it

  • Adding new automated jobs
  • Fixing workflow errors
  • Updating scheduling logic

Example prompts

  • “/workflow-management”

Requirements

  • A credential in UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN
  • A credential in QSTASH_TOKEN
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Edit, Write, Bash, Grep, Glob

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Workflow Definition
  2. Scheduling Workflows
  3. Error Handling

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1056d29. 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
    • Edit
    • Write
    • Bash
    • Grep
    • Glob

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pnpm
    • curl

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm and curl, 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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN
    • QSTASH_TOKEN

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

Context cost

Workflow Management loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 308 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Edit, Write, Bash, Grep, Glob

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 308 words (~1,039 tokens).

“This skill helps you work with QStash-based workflows in apps/api/src/lib/workflows/.”
