workflow-creator SKILL.md skillA
workflow-creator from open-octo/octo-agent is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Turn a repeatable multi-step task into a runnable, reusable saved workflow through guided conversation, in either of two shapes — chaining existing skills/recordings (wiring each one's output into the next's input), or composing the workflow script's own primitives (agent/parallel/pipeline) directly when the task needs fresh sub-agent orchestration and no existing skill covers it. Figure out which shape fits, generate the Ruby workflow, dry-run it, and save it with workflow_save. Use when the…
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
# Build a saved workflow
A **saved workflow** is a small Ruby (mruby) script that runs on demand or on a
schedule. Your job is to guide the user from a one-off description of what they
want repeated to a saved, validated workflow. It takes one of two shapes,
sometimes mixed in the same script:
- **Skill chain** — the script calls *existing* skills/recordings in order via
`recording(...)` / `skill(...)`, passing each one's output to the next's
input. You are composing things that already exist.
- **Primitive-composed** — the script calls `agent(...)` directly (alone, or
fanned out with `parallel`/`pipeline`) to do fresh sub-agent work that has no
matching existing skill — e.g. "review this diff across 3 dimensions in
parallel" or "run this check over every file in the list." There is nothing to
inventory here; you're writing the orchestration from scratch, just not the
agent-level logic (that's still an LLM call inside `agent(...)`, not new Go/tool
code).
Figure out which shape (or mix) fits **before** drafting anything — see Step 0.
## The pieces you use
- `agent(prompt, opts = {})` — run one sub-agent to completion, returns a String.

How to install
mdr add open-octo/octo-agent/workflow-creator@sha256:2435e5ea13423d1fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260802.3c4aeb5, 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.
