workflow-authoring from qwenlm/qwen-code is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Reference for writing a Workflow tool script (script API and gotchas, agent() options, pipeline() vs parallel(), verification and convergence patterns, resume, worked example). Load before authoring a script for a workflow the user already opted into; it does not itself authorize running one.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Workflow authoring reference Everything below is about _writing_ the script. Whether a workflow may run at all is decided by the Workflow tool's own opt-in rule — this reference does not authorize a run. Reach for one to be comprehensive (decompose the work and cover every part in parallel), to be confident (independent perspectives and adversarial checks before an answer is committed to), or to take on scale a single context cannot hold — migrations, audits, broad sweeps. The script is where that structure is encoded: what fans out, what verifies, what synthesizes. Parallelism on its own is not a reason; work that is already one short sequence of edits belongs in the main loop. ## Scout first, then orchestrate The strongest pattern is hybrid: discover the work list in the main loop (list the files, scope the diff, read the failing test), then hand that list to a workflow. You do not need to know the shape of the work before the task — only before the orchestration step. When the work has distinct phases, run several small workflows across turns and read each result before choosing the next, rather than authoring one large script that runs unattended. …

How to install
mdr add qwenlm/qwen-code/workflow-authoring@sha256:b0fb6b662f3c61d6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.bd63f90, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
