Windmill Flow CLI Guide

Creating a Flow

You — the AI agent — scaffold the flow yourself by running wmill flow new <path> with the right flags. Do NOT hand-create the folder + flow.yaml, and do NOT tell the user to "run wmill flow new and follow the prompts".

wmill flow new creates the folder with the correct suffix (__flow or .flow depending on the workspace's nonDottedPaths setting), writes a minimal flow.yaml shell, and prints Claude-specific next-step hints. Scaffolding by hand skips all of that and often picks the wrong suffix.

Step 1 — Gather path + summary by asking the user

You need two things:

1. path — the windmill path, e.g. f/folder/my_flow or u/username/my_flow.
2. summary — a short description of the flow.

If the user's request didn't supply both, ask for both in a single round-trip. Use whichever interactive question facility your runtime provides — a structured multi-choice tool if available, otherwise plain chat — and provide one or two example values for each (with an "Other" / free-form fallback). Do not guess paths or summaries.

Step 2 — Run the command yourself

wmill flow new f/folder/my_flow --summary "Short description"

Add --description "..." when the user provided a longer explanation worth preserving separately from the summary.

Step 3 — Fill in flow.yaml

Open the generated flow.yaml (under the folder the command just created) and replace the empty value.modules + schema with the real flow definition.

For rawscript modules, use !inline path/to/script.ts for the content key. Inline script files should NOT include .inline_script. in their names (e.g. use a.ts, not a.inline_script.ts).

Once the flow has real content, offer to open the visual preview as a one-sentence next step (e.g. "Want me to open the visual preview?"). Don't auto-open — opening the dev page has side effects (browser window, possibly a launch.json entry) and the user should consent.

Anti-patterns to avoid

• ❌ Hand-creating the __flow folder + flow.yaml instead of running wmill flow new. You'll miss the suffix-setting resolution, the default shape, and the Claude hints.
• ❌ Telling the user to "run wmill flow new <path>" — you can and should run it yourself.
• ❌ Inventing a path/summary instead of asking the user.

CLI Commands — running, previewing, deploying

After writing, act on the user's intent instead of just listing commands. Run the safe, non-deploying command yourself when it fits (wmill flow preview — see "After writing — offer to run, don't wait passively" below); only name the commands that deploy or rewrite files (wmill sync push, wmill generate-metadata) so the user can approve them. The options:

• wmill flow preview <flow_path> — default when iterating on a local flow. Runs the local flow.yaml against local inline scripts without deploying. Add --remote to use deployed workspace scripts for PathScript steps instead of local files. Add --step <step_id> to run only one module in isolation (see "Single-step vs whole-flow preview" below).
• wmill flow run <path> — runs the flow already deployed in the workspace. Use only when the user explicitly wants to test the deployed version, not local edits.
• wmill generate-metadata — regenerate stale .lock and .script.yaml files. By default it scans scripts, flows, and apps across the workspace; pass --skip-flows --skip-apps (or run from a subdirectory) to limit the scope when you only care about the flow you edited.
• wmill sync push — deploy local changes to the workspace. Only suggest/run this when the user explicitly asks to deploy/publish/push — not when they say "run", "try", or "test".

Preview vs run — choose by intent, not habit

If the user says "run the flow", "try it", "test it", "does it work" while there are local edits to a flow.yaml, use flow preview. Do NOT push the flow to then flow run it — pushing is a deploy, and deploying just to test overwrites the workspace version with untested changes.

Only use flow run when:

• The user explicitly says "run the deployed version" / "run what's on the server".
• There is no local flow.yaml being edited (you're just invoking an existing flow).

Only use sync push when:

• The user explicitly asks to deploy, publish, push, or ship.
• The preview has already validated the change and the user wants it in the workspace.

Single-step vs whole-flow preview

Use flow preview <flow_path> --step <step_id> when the user is iterating on one module and the flow's upstream steps aren't part of what they're trying to validate. It runs only that step's runnable (rawscript: the inline script; script: the PathScript, locally if available; flow: the subflow by path) and is much faster than running the whole flow when previous steps are slow or expensive. The step id is resolved by walking nested branchone/branchall/forloopflow/whileloopflow modules and includes the special preprocessor and failure modules.

Use flow preview <flow_path> (no --step) when steps depend on each other's outputs, when the user is validating the overall control flow, or when --step doesn't apply (branchone, branchall, forloopflow, whileloopflow, identity, and AI agent steps cannot themselves be tested in isolation — for branchone/branchall/forloopflow/whileloopflow, the contained steps can, by passing the inner step's id).

After writing — offer to run, don't wait passively

This is about programmatic execution (wmill flow preview -d '<args>'), which actually runs the flow and has side effects. Visual preview (the preview skill) is offered separately — see "Visual preview" below.

If the user hasn't already told you to run/test the flow, offer it as a one-sentence next step (e.g. "Want me to run wmill flow preview with sample args?"). Do not present a multi-option menu.

If the user already asked to test/run/try the flow in their original request, skip the offer and just execute wmill flow preview <path> -d '<args>' directly — pick plausible args from the flow's input schema.

wmill flow preview is safe to run yourself (it does not deploy). wmill sync push and wmill generate-metadata modify workspace state or local files — only run these when the user explicitly asks; otherwise tell them which to run.

Visual preview

To open the flow visually in the dev page (graph + live reload), use the preview skill. Always offer it as a one-sentence next step (e.g. "Want me to open the visual preview?") rather than opening it automatically — opening the dev page has side effects (browser window, possibly a launch.json entry under MCP-preview branches) the user should consent to. If the user already asked to see/preview/visualize the flow in their original request, skip the offer and just invoke the skill.

Windmill Flow Building Guide

OpenFlow Schema

The OpenFlow schema (openflow.openapi.yaml) is the source of truth for flow structure. Refer to OPENFLOW_SCHEMA for the complete type definitions.

Reserved Module IDs

• failure - Reserved for failure handler module
• preprocessor - Reserved for preprocessor module
• Input - Reserved for flow input reference

Hard Structural Rules

These are strict Windmill schema rules. Follow them exactly.

• value.modules is only for normal sequential steps
• value.preprocessor_module and value.failure_module are special top-level fields inside value, not entries in value.modules
• If a flow needs a preprocessor, create value.preprocessor_module with id: preprocessor
• If a flow needs a failure handler, create value.failure_module with id: failure
• Do NOT create regular modules inside value.modules named preprocessor or failure
• preprocessor_module and failure_module only support script or rawscript
• preprocessor_module runs before normal modules and cannot reference results.*
• failure_module can use the error object with error.message, error.step_id, error.name, and error.stack

Correct shape:

value:
  preprocessor_module:
    id: preprocessor
    value:
      type: rawscript
      ...
  failure_module:
    id: failure
    value:
      type: rawscript
      ...
  modules:
    - id: process_event
      value:
        type: rawscript
        ...

Incorrect shape:

value:
  modules:
    - id: preprocessor
      ...
    - id: process_event
      ...
    - id: failure
      ...

Module ID Rules

• Must be unique across the entire flow
• Use underscores, not spaces (e.g., fetch_data not fetch data)
• Use descriptive names that reflect the step's purpose

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Missing input_transforms - Rawscript parameters won't receive values without them
• Referencing future steps - results.step_id only works for steps that execute before the current one
• Duplicate module IDs - Each module ID must be unique in the flow

Data Flow Between Steps

• flow_input.property - Access flow input parameters
• results.step_id - Access output from a previous step only when that step result is in scope
• results.step_id.property - Access specific property from a previous step output only when that step result is in scope
• flow_input.iter.value - Current iteration value when inside a loop (forloopflow or whileloopflow)
• flow_input.iter.index - Current loop index when inside a loop (forloopflow or whileloopflow)

Loop Structure Rules

• For whileloopflow, use module-level stop_after_if on the loop module itself when the loop should stop after an iteration result
• Do NOT put stop_after_if inside value of a whileloopflow
• stop_after_all_iters_if is for checks after the whole loop finishes, not the normal per-iteration break condition
• When a whileloopflow carries state forward between iterations, use flow_input.iter.value as the current loop value and provide an explicit first-iteration fallback when needed
• Use flow_input.iter.index only when the loop logic is truly based on the iteration index, not as a replacement for the current loop value
• If the user asks for a final scalar/object after a loop, add a normal step after the loop that extracts the final value from the loop result instead of returning the whole loop result array

Correct whileloopflow shape:

- id: loop_until_done
  stop_after_if:
    expr: result.done === true
    skip_if_stopped: false
  value:
    type: whileloopflow
    skip_failures: false
    modules:
      - id: advance_state
        value:
          type: rawscript
          input_transforms:
            state:
              type: javascript
              expr: flow_input.iter && flow_input.iter.value !== undefined ? flow_input.iter.value : flow_input.initial_state
- id: return_final_state
  value:
    type: rawscript
    input_transforms:
      final_state:
        type: javascript
        expr: results.loop_until_done[results.loop_until_done.length - 1]

Incorrect whileloopflow patterns:

- id: loop_until_done
  value:
    type: whileloopflow
    stop_after_if:
      expr: result.done === true

input_transforms:
  state:
    type: javascript
    expr: flow_input.iter.index

input_transforms:
  final_state:
    type: javascript
    expr: results.loop_until_done

Approval / Suspend Structure

• suspend belongs on the flow module object itself, as a sibling of id and value
• Never put suspend inside value

Correct shape:

- id: request_approval
  suspend:
    required_events: 1
    resume_form:
      schema:
        type: object
        properties:
          comment:
            type: string
        required: [comment]
  value:
    type: identity

Incorrect shape:

- id: request_approval
  value:
    type: rawscript
    suspend:
      required_events: 1

Branch Result Scope Rules

• Inside a branch, you may reference earlier outer steps and earlier steps in the same branch
• Outside a branchone, do NOT reference ids of steps that only exist inside its branches or default branch. Use results.<branchone_module_id> instead
• Outside a branchall, do NOT reference ids of steps inside its branches. Use results.<branchall_module_id> instead
• If downstream steps need a stable shape after a branch, make each branch return the same fields
• When needed, add a normalization step immediately after the branch and consume results.<branch_module_id> there

Correct after branchone:

- id: route_order
  value:
    type: branchone
    ...
- id: send_confirmation
  value:
    input_transforms:
      routed:
        type: javascript
        expr: results.route_order

Incorrect after branchone:

expr: results.create_shipment
expr: results.create_backorder

Correct after branchall:

- id: enrich_parallel
  value:
    type: branchall
    parallel: true
    ...
- id: combine_data
  value:
    input_transforms:
      enrichments:
        type: javascript
        expr: results.enrich_parallel

Input Transforms

Every rawscript module needs input_transforms to map function parameters to values:

Static transform (fixed value): {"param_name": {"type": "static", "value": "fixed_string"}}

JavaScript transform (dynamic expression): {"param_name": {"type": "javascript", "expr": "results.previous_step.data"}}

Resource References

• For flow inputs: Use type "object" with format "resource-{type}" (e.g., "resource-postgresql")
• For step inputs: Use static value "$res:path/to/resource"

Final Structural Self-Check

Before finalizing a flow, verify:

• any preprocessor is in value.preprocessor_module
• any failure handler is in value.failure_module
• any approval step has module-level suspend
• no downstream step references inner branch step ids from outside the branch

S3 Object Operations

Windmill provides built-in support for S3-compatible storage operations.

To accept an S3 object as flow input:

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "file": {
      "type": "object",
      "format": "resource-s3_object",
      "description": "File to process"
    }
  }
}

Using Resources in Flows

On Windmill, credentials and configuration are stored in resources. Resource types define the format of the resource.

As Flow Input

In the flow schema, set the property type to "object" with format "resource-{type}":

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "database": {
      "type": "object",
      "format": "resource-postgresql",
      "description": "Database connection"
    }
  }
}

As Step Input (Static Reference)

Reference a specific resource using $res: prefix:

{
  "database": {
    "type": "static",
    "value": "$res:f/folder/my_database"
  }
}
