What it does

Workflow is an agent skill from waynesutton/markdown-site. Project workflow for PRDs, task tracking, changelog sync, and documentation updates. Use for any non-trivial task that spans multiple steps, touches several files, changes architecture, or needs project tracking updates. Also activates with @update to sync task.md, changelog.md, and files.md after completing work.

Its SKILL.md is about 620 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 Product & Project Management, covering PRD writing, Task management and Changelog and release notes. The repository describes itself as: An open-source publishing framework built for AI agents and developers to ship websites, docs, or blogs. Write markdown, sync from the terminal. Your content is instantly… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Any non-trivial task that spans multiple steps
  • Touches several files
  • Changes architecture
  • Needs project tracking updates

Example prompts

  • “/workflow”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify what is missing, broken, or incomplete.
  2. Theorize a few likely causes or approaches.
  3. Narrow to the most likely plan.
  4. Ask if anything important is still unclear.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3872c59. 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:

    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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 loads about 624 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 318 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~624

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.

Project Workflow Skill

Use this skill for any non trivial task that spans multiple steps, touches several files, changes architecture, or needs project tracking updates.

Activate with: @update (for docs sync only)

Triage first

Before changing code:

  1. Identify what is missing, broken, or incomplete.
  2. Theorize a few likely causes or approaches.
  3. Narrow to the most likely plan.
  4. Ask if anything important is still unclear.

Skip the long process only for obvious one file fixes like typos or tiny copy changes.

PRD rules

Create a PRD before non trivial work.

  • Path: prds/<feature-or-problem-slug>.md
  • Extension: .md
  • Include:
    • problem
    • root cause for bugs
    • proposed solution
    • files to change
    • edge cases
    • verification steps
    • task completion log

Add metadata at the top:

  • Created: YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm UTC
  • Last Updated: YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm UTC
  • Status: Draft | In Progress | Done

Task tracking

Update task.md as the work moves forward.

  • Put new work under ## to do
  • Move finished work to ## completed
  • Add timestamps in YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm UTC
  • Do not mark a task done until it has been verified
  • Keep task notes short but specific enough for the next session

When useful, include:

  • the PRD path
  • the files touched
  • the verification command or outcome

Docs sync after changes

After each feature or fix, sync the project docs:

  • task.md
  • changelog.md
  • files.md

For changelog.md:

  • use Keep a Changelog structure
  • get real dates from git log --date=short -n 10
  • add timestamps when helpful

For files.md:

  • add new files
  • update descriptions that changed
  • keep descriptions brief and concrete

Execution style

  • Use subagents for research or parallel analysis when the task is large enough to benefit.
  • Use one focused subagent per task.
  • Stop and re plan if the work stops making sense.
  • Keep the change set tight.
  • Ask whether a staff engineer would approve the result before calling it done.

Learning loop

If the user corrects a repeated pattern, record the lesson in prds/lessons.md so the mistake does not come back.
