write-microflows skillA

write-microflows is agent-read markdown (skill) from mendixlabs/mxcli: Microflow syntax reference in MDL — every activity type, control flow, expressions, and the mistakes that fail `mxcli check`. Use before writing any CREATE MICROFLOW, and when debugging a microflow syntax error..

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.

- [`reference/control-flow.md`](reference/control-flow.md) — every form of `if`,
  `case`, `split type`, `loop` and `while`, plus error handling (`try`/custom
  handlers) and the `@position` / `@merge` / `@anchor` activity annotations.
- [`reference/data-operations.md`](reference/data-operations.md) — create, change,
  commit, delete; list operations and aggregates; `retrieve` from database,
  association and list; XPath navigation.
- [`reference/integration.md`](reference/integration.md) — `rest call` and
  `send rest request`, legacy SOAP, calling Java actions (including the `empty`
  argument and microflow-typed parameters), and file downloads.
- [`reference/pitfalls.md`](reference/pitfalls.md) — **read this when
  `mxcli check` rejects something you believe is correct.** The anti-patterns, the
  CE0111 duplicate-variable trap, the syntax that looks plausible and does not
