At a glance

Documents how Smithers discovers and registers workflow flow files, so catalog listings stay metadata-only while running a flow loads its full body and action layers.

  • Changing how Smithers discovers or lists flow files
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Adding a new workflow pack or executable catalog entry
  • Debugging why a flow's runtime layer or action table is missing

What it does

The skill covers the boundary between discovering a flow and executing it in the Smithers workflow framework. A flow directory has exactly one entry file, flow.ts, flow.mdx or SKILL.md, and the registry's list and warnings commands read a lightweight descriptor, source and digest only, without importing the file's body, so a catalog listing never executes the flow it describes.

Running a flow is a separate step that loads the selected file's body, resolves its delegate and supplies runtime layers; a TypeScript module can export a layer alongside its default flow, built once in the scoped host context with named refusals recorded for any service that is unavailable. The host alone owns the action table, so modules export their layer directly rather than providing implementations themselves. The skill also flags one exception to the no-execution rule: the filesystem command listing's help, OpenAPI or MCP projection imports visible modules to publish their input schemas.

When your agent uses it

  • Changing how Smithers discovers or lists flow files
  • Adding a new workflow pack or executable catalog entry
  • Debugging why a flow's runtime layer or action table is missing

Example prompts

  • “Add a new flow.mdx entry to the registry and confirm it shows up in list without executing it.”
  • “Explain why this flow's layer export is not reaching the runtime context.”
  • “Check that editing this flow descriptor refreshes correctly without stale entries.”

Requirements

  • A Smithers workflow project

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7688150. 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

    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

Smithers Flow Registry Internals loads about 432 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 204 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~31
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~432

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.

description
Change flow discovery, SKILL.md/flow.mdx registration, workflow packs, or executable catalog refresh.

Flow registry

Read the registry README and filesystem router README before changing discovery or command projection. A flow directory has one entry file: flow.ts, flow.mdx, or SKILL.md; the descriptor records source and digest without importing its body. Registry list and warnings read one metadata snapshot. Do not execute a discovered flow to answer a catalog listing.

Executable registration is a separate boundary that loads the selected body, resolves its delegate, and supplies runtime layers. A TypeScript module may export layer beside its default flow; build its action implementations once in the scoped host context, retain named load refusals for unavailable services, and provide the built context to both flow registrations. The host owns the action table: modules export Declared.toLayer / AgentAction.layer directly, without providing Action.layerImplementations. Preserve warning receipts for refusals and the refresh path for edited entries. A host must provide services required by delegate success/error codecs even when the catalog erases their static requirements. Pack entries retain provenance and path confinement; verify name precedence, stale descriptors, and an edit during refresh in tests.

@smthrs/fs command listing is metadata-only, but its first Incur help/OpenAPI/MCP projection imports visible modules to publish input schemas. Keep that distinction explicit when claiming a discovery path runs no user code.
