What it does

Workflow Init is an agent skill from usenotra/notra. Install and configure Vercel Workflow SDK before it exists in nodemodules. Use when the user asks to "install workflow", "set up workflow", "add durable workflows", "configure workflow sdk", or "init workflow" for Next.js, Express, Hono, Fastify, NestJS, Nitro, Nuxt, Astro, SvelteKit, or Vite.

Its SKILL.md is about 820 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, covering Static sites and blogs. It works with Astro, Nuxt, Vite and Fastify. The repository describes itself as: Notra is a modern GEO tool that asks ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini the questions your buyers ask. See if you show up, who shows up instead and how to fix it. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

Example prompts

“install workflow”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 59bbf7d. 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:
- npx
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
- workflow-sdk.dev
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 Init loads about 821 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 312 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~77
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~821

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.

workflow-init

Initial setup of Vercel Workflow SDK before workflow is installed. Fetch the official getting-started guide for the user's framework.

Decision flow

0) Sanity check

Read package.json. If workflow is already a dependency, tell the user to use /workflow instead (it reads versioned docs from node_modules/workflow/docs/). Only continue if workflow is missing.

1) Determine the framework

Non-interactive: If the user named a framework in their prompt, use it directly.

Auto-detect: Inspect package.json deps and config files. Use the first match:

Next.js - next dep or next.config.*
Nuxt - nuxt dep or nuxt.config.*
SvelteKit - @sveltejs/kit dep or svelte.config.*
Astro - astro dep or astro.config.*
NestJS - @nestjs/core dep or nest-cli.json
Nitro - nitro dep or nitro.config.*
Express - express dep
Fastify - fastify dep
Hono - hono dep
Vite - vite dep (and not matched above)

If no match or multiple matches, ask the user to pick.

2) Fetch and follow the getting-started guide

Fetch exactly one of these URLs and follow the guide step-by-step:

Framework	URL
Next.js	https://workflow-sdk.dev/docs/getting-started/next
Express	https://workflow-sdk.dev/docs/getting-started/express
Hono	https://workflow-sdk.dev/docs/getting-started/hono
Fastify	https://workflow-sdk.dev/docs/getting-started/fastify
NestJS	https://workflow-sdk.dev/docs/getting-started/nestjs
Nitro	https://workflow-sdk.dev/docs/getting-started/nitro
Nuxt	https://workflow-sdk.dev/docs/getting-started/nuxt
Astro	https://workflow-sdk.dev/docs/getting-started/astro
SvelteKit	https://workflow-sdk.dev/docs/getting-started/sveltekit
Vite	https://workflow-sdk.dev/docs/getting-started/vite

Each guide covers: install deps, configure framework, create first workflow, create route handler, run + verify.

3) Verify setup

Start the dev server per the guide.
Trigger the example endpoint with the provided curl.
Confirm logs show the workflow and steps executing.
Optional: npx workflow web or npx workflow inspect runs.

4) No framework yet?

If no framework exists, ask what the user wants:

Web app: Next.js / Nuxt / SvelteKit / Astro
API server: Express / Fastify / Hono
Minimal server: Nitro or Vite

Then follow the "Create Your Project" section of the chosen guide.

Concept questions (pre-install)

If the user asks conceptual questions before installing, fetch:

Handoff

When setup is complete, tell the user: Use /workflow for ongoing development - it reads the versioned docs bundled in node_modules/workflow/docs/.
