write-workflows skillA

write-workflows is agent-read markdown (skill) from mendixlabs/mxcli: Author Mendix workflows in MDL — user tasks, decisions, parallel splits, jumps, waits and boundary events, with CREATE, ALTER and DROP. Use when building a business process with human steps, timers or parallel branches..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

# Mendix Workflows Skill

Guidance for **authoring** workflows in Mendix projects with MDL — not just
reading them. `CREATE WORKFLOW` / `DROP WORKFLOW` / `ALTER WORKFLOW` are fully
supported and build in Studio Pro. Workflows are **not** read-only in mxcli; do
not punt workflow creation to Studio Pro.

## When to Use This Skill

- Creating a business process: approvals, reviews, multi-step tasks with user
  interaction, timers, and parallel branches.
- Adding/removing/reordering activities in an existing workflow (`ALTER WORKFLOW`).
- Regenerating a workflow from `DESCRIBE WORKFLOW` output (round-trippable).

A workflow is a `Workflows$Workflow` unit driven by a **context entity**: the
persistent entity each workflow instance is about (the `Expense` being approved,
the `LeaveRequest` being reviewed). User tasks render a page bound to
`System.WorkflowUserTask`.

## Syntax — CREATE WORKFLOW

The header options may be written in **any order** — each at most once — and the
body **must** close with `END WORKFLOW`. (They used to be order-sensitive, in
exactly the sequence below; a clause written out of place failed with
