Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Workflow creation, execution, and template management. Automates complex multi-step processes with agent coordination. Use when: automating processes, creating reusable workflows, orchestrating multi-step tasks. Skip when: simple single-step tasks, ad-hoc operations.Key capabilities
- →Define multi-step task sequences
- →Coordinate multiple agent types
- →Manage workflow templates
- →Execute workflows with environment variables
- →Export workflow configurations to YAML
How it works
It uses a YAML-based structure to define sequential steps where each step specifies an agent, a task, and its dependencies on previous steps.
Inputs & outputs
When to use workflow-automation
- →Setting up automated CI/CD pipelines
- →Creating reusable deployment workflows
- →Orchestrating multi-agent research and coding tasks
- →Automating release management processes
About this skill
Workflow Automation Skill
Purpose
Create and execute automated workflows for complex multi-step processes.
When to Trigger
- Multi-step automated processes
- Reusable workflow creation
- Complex task orchestration
- CI/CD pipeline setup
Commands
Create Workflow
npx claude-flow workflow create --name "deploy-flow" --template ci
Execute Workflow
npx claude-flow workflow execute --name "deploy-flow" --env production
List Workflows
npx claude-flow workflow list
Export Template
npx claude-flow workflow export --name "deploy-flow" --format yaml
View Status
npx claude-flow workflow status --name "deploy-flow"
Built-in Templates
| Template | Description |
|---|---|
ci | Continuous integration pipeline |
deploy | Deployment workflow |
test | Testing workflow |
release | Release automation |
review | Code review workflow |
Workflow Structure
name: example-workflow
steps:
- name: analyze
agent: researcher
task: "Analyze requirements"
- name: implement
agent: coder
depends: [analyze]
task: "Implement solution"
- name: test
agent: tester
depends: [implement]
task: "Write and run tests"
Best Practices
- Define clear step dependencies
- Use appropriate agent types per step
- Include validation gates
- Export workflows for reuse
When not to use it
- →For simple single-step tasks
- →For ad-hoc operations
Limitations
- →Requires explicit definition of step dependencies
- →Limited to predefined templates like ci, deploy, and test
How it compares
This approach formalizes task orchestration into reusable templates rather than manually triggering individual agent commands.
