common-workflow-writing skillA
This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed, one of 3 copies on public GitHub. Same content hash, same audit grade.
common-workflow-writing is agent-read markdown (skill) from hoangnguyen0403/agent-skills-standard: Rules for writing concise, token-efficient workflow and skill files. Prevents over-building that requires costly optimization passes. Use when creating or editing workflow files, SKILL.md files, or new skill definitions..
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
# Workflow Writing Standard ## **Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)** ## Core Rules - **Templates, not examples**: Workflows define _structure_, not pre-filled data. agent generates data at runtime. - **No example rows in tables**: Include headers + 1 skeleton row only. Never populate with fake data. - **No prose explanations**: If bullet or command achieves same result, delete paragraph. - **No pre-answered questions**: Don't document what agent _will_ output — let it output it. - **Merge sequential steps**: If two steps always happen together, they one step. ## Size Limits | File type | Limit | If exceeded | | ----------------- | --------- | --------------------------------- | | Workflow `.md` | 80 lines | Extract detail to `references/` | | SKILL.md | 100 lines | Extract examples to `references/` | | Table rows | 8 | Extract to `references/` | | Inline code block | 10 lines | Extract to `references/` | ## Workflow Structure (Required order) ``` 1.
