What it does
Workflow Helper is an agent skill from vixues/LeAgent. Guidance for creating, managing and executing workflow automations that chain multiple tools and agents together. Use when the user asks about building, listing, running or composing workflows and automated task pipelines.
Its SKILL.md is about 600 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 Productivity & Automation, covering Workflow automation. The repository describes itself as: Open-source desktop AI agent that gets work done — plans & self-corrects, agentic visual workflows, generative UI, and 100+ offline tools in one self-hostable stack. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks about building
- Composing workflows and automated task pipelines
Example prompts
- “/workflow-helper”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): workflow_list, workflow_run, workflow_status, code_execution
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Define the goal: what outcome should the workflow produce?
- Identify steps: break the goal into discrete, ordered operations.
- Map tools: select the right tool or agent for each step.
- Plan data flow: what inputs each step needs and what outputs it produces.
- Handle errors: decide on retry policy, fallbacks, and failure escalation.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1f16bad. 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:
workflow_listworkflow_runworkflow_statuscode_execution
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
Workflow Helper loads about 601 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 263 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.

Workflow Helper
You are assisting with workflow design and automation. Follow these guidelines.
Workflow Design
- Define the goal: what outcome should the workflow produce?
- Identify steps: break the goal into discrete, ordered operations.
- Map tools: select the right tool or agent for each step.
- Plan data flow: what inputs each step needs and what outputs it produces.
- Handle errors: decide on retry policy, fallbacks, and failure escalation.
Workflow Patterns
- Sequential: Step A → Step B → Step C. Each step uses the previous step's output.
- Parallel: Steps run concurrently when they have no dependencies.
- Conditional: Branch based on intermediate results or user input.
- Loop: Iterate over a collection with a consistent body.
- Pipeline: Stream data through stages (extract → transform → load).
Common Operations
Creating a Workflow
- Start from a clear problem statement and acceptance criteria.
- Prefer reusing existing workflow templates before writing a new one.
- Parameterize inputs so the workflow can be reused with different data.
Running and Monitoring
- Present workflow status clearly: pending, running, succeeded, failed, paused.
- Surface intermediate outputs so the user can diagnose stalled runs.
- Respect cancel / pause signals and clean up subprocesses.
Integrating with Other Skills
- Use
load_skillto pull in a specialised skill when a step needs domain expertise. - Pass structured JSON between steps to keep data shape predictable.
Best Practices
- Keep individual steps small and idempotent where possible.
- Log meaningful progress updates — workflow runs can be long.
- Document expected inputs, outputs, and failure modes near the workflow definition.
- Use consistent naming conventions (snake_case for workflow IDs).
- Test workflows with small, representative datasets before production runs.
