Workflow Skill Creator
Overview
This skill enables the agent to package successful SAGE workflows or human interactions into reusable, config-driven agent skills under skills/ or vertical domains.
Dependencies
orchestration/workflow-designorchestration/agent-handoff-packet
Quick Start
To package a workflow:
- Conduct Phase 1 (Brainstorming) with the user to refine inputs, outputs, rate limits, and approaches.
- Search existing skills to see if any steps are already implemented (Rule 1: reuse and depend instead of duplicating).
- Scaffold
SKILL.md under skills/<domain>/<name>/.
- If code is needed (API calls, data processing), generate a Python helper script using the
references/cli_script_template.py template, incorporating rate limiting (Rule 2) and file-based output (Rule 4).
- Append the skill in
skills/SKILL_REGISTRY.md and add the trigger rule to skills/skill-rules.json.
- Run
npm test test/v77-skill-rules.test.ts to verify skill rule validity.
Common Mistakes
- Skipping Brainstorming: Creating a skill without Socratic user alignment leads to rigid or incorrect parameter scopes.
- Console Bloat (Rule 4 violation): Printing huge API payloads to stdout instead of routing the output to local files, which consumes the agent's context window.
- API Rate Violations: Forgetting to implement cross-process rate limits (defaulting to 1 req/sec if undocumented).
