Workflow Create

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Agent Workflows work in your project

Example prompts

• “/workflow-create”

Requirements

• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__workflow_create, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__workflow_template, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__workflow_list, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__workflow_status, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__workflow_delete, Write, Read, Edit, Bash

Workflow steps

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

1. 1List templates — call mcpplugin_ruflo-core_rufloworkflow_template to see available templates
2. 2Create workflow — call mcpplugin_ruflo-core_rufloworkflow_create with steps, conditions, and execution order
3. 3List workflows — call mcpplugin_ruflo-core_rufloworkflow_list to see all defined workflows
4. 4Check status — call mcpplugin_ruflo-core_rufloworkflow_status to monitor a workflow
5. 5Clean up — call mcpplugin_ruflo-core_rufloworkflow_delete to remove unused workflows

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 these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

  • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__workflow_create
  • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__workflow_template
  • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__workflow_list
  • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__workflow_status
  • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__workflow_delete
  • Write
  • Read
  • Edit
  • Bash

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • node

  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

Workflow Create loads about 934 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 242 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~45

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~934

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.

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.
