At a glance
Base skill for the Refly ecosystem: finds, runs and monitors workflow-backed skills through the refly command line, with the actual work done on the Refly backend.
- Works in 5 steps: CLI only - Use refly , never call API… → Trust JSON - Only trust CLI JSON (ok,… → No fabricated IDs - Never invent… → …
- Running an installed Refly skill and collecting its output files
- SKILL.md covers Rules, Available Commands, Skill Categories & Execution… and Directory Structure, plus 2 more sections
- Calls jq
What it does
Refly creates, discovers and runs domain skills that are bound to workflows, and it hands execution to the Refly backend instead of doing the work locally. Everything goes through the `refly` command line. The agent is told to trust only the CLI's JSON output, never invent workflow, run or node IDs, never print or request auth tokens, and to stop and show the hint when a call reports an error.
The command table covers `refly status`, `refly login`, listing marketplace skills and your installed ones, `refly skill run` with an installation ID and JSON input, watching a run with `--watch` (polling every 5000 ms by default), reading run details and tool calls, and downloading result files. Execution follows a pattern by output type: image, video and audio skills are run, awaited, downloaded and opened; search and report skills return text; email and messaging skills return a status to confirm. The excerpt ends inside the first pattern.
When your agent uses it
- Running an installed Refly skill and collecting its output files
- Checking the progress or result of a Refly workflow run
- Listing the skills available in the Refly marketplace
Example prompts
- “List my installed Refly skills and run the image generator with a prompt about a lighthouse at dusk.”
- “Watch the latest Refly workflow run and download the files it produced.”
- “Check whether I am logged in to Refly.”
Requirements
- The @refly/cli package installed and authenticated
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- CLI only - Use refly , never call API directly.
- Trust JSON - Only trust CLI JSON (ok, payload, error, hint).
- No fabricated IDs - Never invent workflow/run/node IDs.
- No tokens - Never print or request auth tokens.
- Stop on error - If ok=false, stop and show hint.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 71f8b87. 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:
jq
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
Refly Skill Runner loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 448 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 448 words (~1,655 tokens).
“Tip: Get installationId (skpi-xxx) from refly skill installations.”
- name
- refly
