writing-relayflows skillA
writing-relayflows is agent-read markdown (skill) from agentworkforce/relay: Use when authoring a Relayflows flow (@relayflows/surface / @relayflows/sdk, the journal-based v2 engine — the CLI is `flows`, package versions 2.0.x) in TypeScript or YAML/JSON. Covers the three-rung ladder (run/llm/agent), the resident verbs (human/dispatch/done), verification gates, TypeScript vs YAML authoring, per-step cli/model selection and its resolution order, flows.json, and `flows check`/`run`/`resume` with their real refusal shapes and exit codes. Not for the older, unrelated `@relay.
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.
What the file says
### Overview
Relayflows turns a coding-agent task into steps a journal can inspect, verify, and resume. A flow is data (YAML/JSON) or code (TypeScript) that compiles to the same journal-backed kernel spec. Every effect is journaled before it's treated as real — a journal write that fails fails the step, with no silent fallback.
**Name collision warning.** This repo also has skills for an older, unrelated engine that is _also_ casually called "Relayflow" (singular) — `@relayflows/core`'s `WorkflowBuilder`, a chained builder (`workflow('name').pattern('dag').agent(...).step(...).run()`). That's `writing-agent-relay-workflows` and `migrating-persona-to-relayflow`'s territory. This skill is the **v2** engine: `@relayflows/surface`'s `flow()` function and the YAML/JSON dialect compiled by `@relayflows/sdk`. If you see `.pattern(`, `.agent(` as a chained builder call, or `ctx.workflow.run()`, you're in the other engine — stop and use one of those skills instead.
### When to use this skill
- Writing a new `.flow.ts` or `.flow.yaml`/`.flow.json` for the `flows` CLI (package `@relayflows/sdk`, binary name `flows`).

How to install
mdr add agentworkforce/relay/writing-relayflows@git:20260919.270f08cmdr add agentworkforce/relay/writing-relayflows@sha256:941cbfb54a6e4f7dPin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
