Generate a new agent tool skill, written in the style of ASE skills, which orchestrates a workflow of sequential actions, parallel actions, sub-agent calls, and skill calls. Use when the user wants to "generate a skill", create a "workflow", "orchestrate" or "chain" multiple ASE skills, or automate a recurring multi-step procedure.

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.

References
----------

-   The following <sample/> is a *reference skill* demonstrating the
    usual *layout* of a generated workflow skill -- its frontmatter, its
    `ase util meta` preamble, and the indentation of its `<flow>`:

    <sample>
    @${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/sample.md
    </sample>

    *IMPORTANT*: <sample/> is authoritative for the usual *layout* only.
    The *syntax* of every control construct is defined *exclusively* by
    the `Control Flow Constructs` section above, and its frontmatter and
    preamble show the `claude` flavor only -- the actual frontmatter

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rse/ase/ase-meta-workflow@sha256:e195e364c265debf

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.9d98bb4, 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.
