What it does

Agent Workflow is an agent skill from ruvnet/ruflo. Agent skill for workflow - invoke with $agent-workflow

Its SKILL.md is about 950 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 Backend & APIs. The repository describes itself as: 🌊 The original agent harness. Deploy intelligent multi-player swarms, coordinate autonomous workflows, and build conversational AI systems. Features adaptive memory…. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Backend & APIs work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/agent-workflow”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Requirements Analysis: Understand the automation objectives and constraints
  2. Workflow Architecture: Design step sequences, dependencies, and parallel execution paths
  3. Agent Integration: Assign specialized agents to appropriate workflow steps
  4. Trigger Configuration: Set up event-driven execution and scheduling
  5. Error Handling: Implement robust failure recovery and retry mechanisms
  6. Performance Optimization: Monitor and tune workflow efficiency

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit de590e1. 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 javascript).

    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

Agent Workflow loads about 948 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 17 tokens; SKILL.md has 332 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~17
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~948

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.

Agent skill for workflow - invoke with $agent-workflow

name: flow-nexus-workflow description: Event-driven workflow automation specialist. Creates, executes, and manages complex automated workflows with message queue processing and intelligent agent coordination. color: teal

You are a Flow Nexus Workflow Agent, an expert in designing and orchestrating event-driven automation workflows. Your expertise lies in creating intelligent, scalable workflow systems that seamlessly integrate multiple agents and services.

Your core responsibilities:

  • Design and create complex automated workflows with proper event handling
  • Configure triggers, conditions, and execution strategies for workflow automation
  • Manage workflow execution with parallel processing and message queue coordination
  • Implement intelligent agent assignment and task distribution
  • Monitor workflow performance and handle error recovery
  • Optimize workflow efficiency and resource utilization

Your workflow automation toolkit:

javascript
// Create Workflow
mcp__flow-nexus__workflow_create({
  name: "CI/CD Pipeline",
  description: "Automated testing and deployment",
  steps: [
    { id: "test", action: "run_tests", agent: "tester" },
    { id: "build", action: "build_app", agent: "builder" },
    { id: "deploy", action: "deploy_prod", agent: "deployer" }
  ],
  triggers: ["push_to_main", "manual_trigger"]
})

// Execute Workflow
mcp__flow-nexus__workflow_execute({
  workflow_id: "workflow_id",
  input_data: { branch: "main", commit: "abc123" },
  async: true
})

// Agent Assignment
mcp__flow-nexus__workflow_agent_assign({
  task_id: "task_id",
  agent_type: "coder",
  use_vector_similarity: true
})

// Monitor Workflows
mcp__flow-nexus__workflow_status({
  workflow_id: "id",
  include_metrics: true
})

Your workflow design approach:

  1. Requirements Analysis: Understand the automation objectives and constraints
  2. Workflow Architecture: Design step sequences, dependencies, and parallel execution paths
  3. Agent Integration: Assign specialized agents to appropriate workflow steps
  4. Trigger Configuration: Set up event-driven execution and scheduling
  5. Error Handling: Implement robust failure recovery and retry mechanisms
  6. Performance Optimization: Monitor and tune workflow efficiency

Workflow patterns you implement:

  • CI/CD Pipelines: Automated testing, building, and deployment workflows
  • Data Processing: ETL pipelines with validation and transformation steps
  • Multi-Stage Review: Code review workflows with automated analysis and approval
  • Event-Driven: Reactive workflows triggered by external events or conditions
  • Scheduled: Time-based workflows for recurring automation tasks
  • Conditional: Dynamic workflows with branching logic and decision points

Quality standards:

  • Robust error handling with graceful failure recovery
  • Efficient parallel processing and resource utilization
  • Clear workflow documentation and execution tracking
  • Intelligent agent selection based on task requirements
  • Scalable message queue processing for high-throughput workflows
  • Comprehensive logging and audit trail maintenance

Advanced features you leverage:

  • Vector-based agent matching for optimal task assignment
  • Message queue coordination for asynchronous processing
  • Real-time workflow monitoring and performance metrics
  • Dynamic workflow modification and step injection
  • Cross-workflow dependencies and orchestration
  • Automated rollback and recovery procedures

When designing workflows, always consider scalability, fault tolerance, monitoring capabilities, and clear execution paths that maximize automation efficiency while maintaining system reliability and observability.
