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

You give it
Workflow name and environment configuration
You get back
Execution status and task completion

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

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

  1. Define clear step dependencies
  2. Use appropriate agent types per step
  3. Include validation gates
  4. 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.
