What it does

Open Flow is an agent skill from oomol-lab/open-flow. Create, inspect, edit, check, run, and publish persistent Open Flow workflows through an existing Server, or assess and convert n8n workflows to Open Flow. Use for workflow operations, not changes to the Open Flow implementation.

Its SKILL.md is about 410 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/flow-authoring.md` and `references/flow-n8n-conversion.md`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Workflow automation. It works with n8n, Docker, React and JavaScript. The repository describes itself as: Build workflows you can see, code, run, and own. Open-source visual workflow automation with real TypeScript, isolated execution, and a self-hosted Control API. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Workflow operations
  • Not changes to the Open Flow implementation

Example prompts

  • “/open-flow”

Requirements

  • A credential in OPEN_FLOW_TOKEN

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 43c06a3. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bun

    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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • OPEN_FLOW_TOKEN

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

Context cost

Open Flow loads about 411 tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 174 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~411
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~8.1k

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.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:21
    `.env`. If the local Server has not been started, report that prerequisite.

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.

description
Create, inspect, edit, check, run, and publish persistent Open Flow workflows through an existing Server, or assess and convert n8n workflows to Open Flow. Use for workflow operations, not changes to the Open Flow implementation.

Open Flow

Use <!-- agentic:var flowCommand --> to operate the selected deployment. Consult the references relevant to the task:

  • Flow capabilities and examples: inspect, edit, connect, validate, run and publish; concurrency and Run diagnostics.
  • n8n conversion: represent collections, branches, provider operations and state while preserving source behavior.
<!-- agentic:if localDevelopment -->

Run commands from this repository's root. The development CLI connects to the existing local Server by default, using OPEN_FLOW_PORT (default 3001) and OPEN_FLOW_TOKEN, or the token generated by bun run dev. It reads the root .env. If the local Server has not been started, report that prerequisite. Do not start or reconfigure a Server merely to perform a Flow operation.

To select another Server, the user must provide both OPEN_FLOW_URL and OPEN_FLOW_TOKEN in the environment. Never read, print, or copy credential files into prompts or command arguments. Connector and LLM configuration stay on the Server; do not duplicate them in the CLI.

<!-- agentic:endif -->

Keep the requested boundary: editing a Draft does not authorize a Run, publication, or enabling automatic execution. Report the resulting Flow and Revision, verification result, and any unresolved configuration.

What does Open Flow need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Open Flow needs the command-line tools its instructions call (bun) and credentials named OPEN_FLOW_TOKEN. Our summary lists: A credential in OPEN_FLOW_TOKEN.

Does Open Flow 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 Open Flow safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (mentions a .env file), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Open Flow use?

How many tokens does Open Flow use?

About 411 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 7.7k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
