design-workflow-graphs SKILL.md skillA
design-workflow-graphs from flc1125/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Design, transform, review, and evolve graph-based workflows with explicit state, nodes, edges, routing, concurrency, joins, loops, approvals, recovery, termination, side effects, and observability. Use when Codex needs to decide whether graph orchestration fits a process; turn requirements, a linear workflow, or an agent loop into a workflow graph; audit an existing DAG or state graph; or produce a framework-neutral graph specification before implementation.
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
# Design Workflow Graphs Design workflow graphs as explicit engineering contracts rather than decorative diagrams. Make control flow, state mutation, termination, failure behavior, and side effects reviewable before choosing an execution framework. ## Operating Principles - Start from the objective, state, and termination contract; do not start by inventing agents or nodes. - Use a graph only when branching, parallelism, bounded iteration, durable recovery, approval gates, or independently observable stages justify it. - Prefer a linear workflow or one bounded agent loop when it is sufficient. - Keep deterministic control in edges, guards, budgets, and validation. Use model reasoning inside nodes only where judgment is required. - Give each state field and side effect an owner. - Bound every cycle by attempts, elapsed time, cost, or another measurable budget. - Place irreversible side effects after validation and approval whenever possible. - Keep the core design framework-neutral. Map it to a runtime only after the graph contract is stable. ## Resource Map Load only what the request needs: …

How to install
mdr add flc1125/skills/design-workflow-graphs@sha256:05871c56734ec9adThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260818.a396ecb, 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.
