At a glance

Author and run a deterministic multi-agent workflow — a JavaScript script that fans out, pipelines, loops, and judges across many child agents.

  • The work decomposes into many similar units (review every changed file
  • SKILL.md covers When this is worth it, Reusable workflows, The contract and API, plus 5 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Research N topics

What it does

Workflow is an agent skill from mweinbach/agent-coworker. Author and run a deterministic multi-agent workflow — a JavaScript script that fans out, pipelines, loops, and judges across many child agents. Use when the work decomposes into many similar units (review every changed file, research N topics, migrate M call sites), when it needs adversarial verification or a judge panel, or when the user asks to "use a workflow", "fan out agents", or be exhaustive. Do not use for a single delegated task — spawnAgent is cheaper.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k 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 Agent Workflows, covering Multi-agent orchestration. It works with JavaScript. The repository describes itself as: Terminal-first coworker agent (Bun + OpenTUI).

When your agent uses it

  • The work decomposes into many similar units (review every changed file
  • Research N topics
  • Migrate M call sites)
  • It needs adversarial verification

Example prompts

  • “use a workflow”
  • “fan out agents”
  • “/workflow”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aab9dc6. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json and typescript).

    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

Workflow loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 119 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,053 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~119
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.6k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,053 words (~2,596 tokens).

“A workflow is a script you write that orchestrates child agents in real code. The harness runs it in a sandbox and drives AgentControl from it.”

Author and run a deterministic multi-agent workflow — a JavaScript script that fans out, pipelines, loops, and judges across many child agents.

When should I use Workflow?

Workflow fits situations like: the work decomposes into many similar units (review every changed file; research N topics; migrate M call sites); it needs adversarial verification.

How do I install Workflow in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add mweinbach/agent-coworker --skill workflow -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/workflow in mweinbach/agent-coworker) into .claude/skills/workflow in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Workflow in Codex?

Run `npx skills add mweinbach/agent-coworker --skill workflow -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/workflow in mweinbach/agent-coworker) into .agents/skills/workflow in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Workflow in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add mweinbach/agent-coworker --skill workflow -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/workflow, .gemini/skills/workflow, .github/skills/workflow and .opencode/skills/workflow in your project.

What does Workflow need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Workflow is instructions for the agent only.

Does Workflow access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Workflow safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Workflow use?

Workflow has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.

How many tokens does Workflow use?

About 2.6k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 10k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Workflow?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Workflow: Workflows (openpi-dev/openpi, 169 stars), Open Dynamic Workflows (xz1220/open-dynamic-workflows, 104 stars), Orca CLI (stablyai/orca, 87k stars) and Paseo Advisor Second Opinion (getpaseo/paseo, 20k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
