What it does
Novu Design Workflow is an agent skill from novuhq/novu. Design notification workflows the Novu way — choose channels, set severity, decide when a workflow is critical, configure digests, and route based on subscriber state. Applies to BOTH dashboard-authored and code-first (@novu/framework) workflows. Use when planning a new workflow, deciding which channels to include, picking severity, configuring digest behavior, or matching a use case (order confirmation, payment failed, account suspended, comment, trial expiring, password reset, webhook fan-out…
Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `references/channel-selection.md`, `references/digest-defaults.md` and `references/severity-and-critical.md`).
It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Webhooks. The repository describes itself as: The open-source communication infrastructure for agents and products.
When your agent uses it
- Planning a new workflow
- Deciding which channels to include
- Picking severity
- Configuring digest behavior
Example prompts
- “/novu-design-workflow”
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Don't set severity by default — leave it unset unless you actually need visual prioritization.
- critical: true is not the same as readOnly: true — readOnly only hides the workflow from the Preferences UI; critical bypasses preferences…
- Don't add fallbacks when the user named the channels — explicit channel requests are exact.
- Cap the channel count at 3 when the user didn't specify channels. More channels = more annoyance, not more reach.
- Don't combine digest with critical: true — critical workflows must deliver immediately. The digest step is auto-skipped.
- Digest key matters for conversational flows — without +threadId, a comment on Post A and a comment on Post B end up in the same digest.
- Push only when offline — sending push to an online user duplicates the In-App alert.
- HTTP step needs responseBodySchema — without it, downstream steps can't read response properties via {{ steps.. }}.
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
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
jsonlogic.com
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 Design Workflow loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~9.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 141 tokens; SKILL.md has 978 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 978 words (~2,640 tokens).
“Design rules for any Novu workflow — independent of whether you author it in the Dashboard (no-code) or in code with @novu/framework. The decisions here (channels, severity, critical, digest, conditions) are the same on both surfaces; only the syntax differs.”
