What it does

Novu Dashboard Workflows is an agent skill from novuhq/novu. Author step content for Novu workflows defined in the Dashboard or generated/edited via the Novu MCP. Use when filling in step controls (subject, body, editorType, headers, body, conditions) for email, in-app, sms, push, chat, delay, digest, throttle, or HTTP Request steps.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including reference files (for example `references/chat-step.md`, `references/delay-step.md` and `references/digest-step.md`).

It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: The open-source communication infrastructure for agents and products.

When your agent uses it

  • Filling in step controls (subject
  • Conditions) for email
  • HTTP Request steps

Example prompts

  • “/novu-dashboard-workflows”

Requirements

  • A credential in NOVU_SECRET_KEY

Workflow steps

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

  1. Curly braces inside Block Editor attributes — Maily TipTap node attrs (url, text, src, id, each, href, externalLink) take bare variable…
  2. Referencing undeclared HTTP response fields — {{ steps.. }} only works for properties listed in that step's responseBodySchema. Add the…
  3. Hardcoding array items instead of looping — when the payload contains an array (payload.items, payload.providers), iterate with a Block…
  4. Empty key/value entries in HTTP headers or body — use an empty array [] when not needed. Never [{ "key": "", "value": "" }].
  5. Hardcoded URLs / product names — always pull from payload.* or subscriber.* so the workflow stays portable.
  6. Changing editorType when editing email — keep block as block and html as html unless the user explicitly asks to switch.
  7. Replacing a step condition when the user said "add" — "add" / "also" / "and" merges with { "and": [...] }; "change to" / "set to"…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c4d3eda. 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.

    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

Novu Dashboard Workflows loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 608 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~7.3k

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 608 words (~1,629 tokens).

“Rules for authoring step content (subject, body, editorType, headers, body, conditions) on workflows that live in the Novu Dashboard — whether you're editing them by hand or via the Novu MCP.”
