description	Create or modify Alfred workflows by writing info.plist files directly

Workflow location

Alfred workflows live in ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows/. Each workflow is a directory named user.workflow.<UUID> containing an info.plist.

Creating a workflow

Generate a UUID for the directory name: uuidgen
Generate a UUID for each object (keyword input, script action, notification output, etc.)
Write info.plist with the structure below
Validate with plutil -lint <path>
Alfred picks up new workflows automatically (may need to close/reopen preferences)

Plist structure

An info.plist defines:

objects: Array of workflow nodes, each with a type, uid, config, and version
connections: Dict mapping source UIDs to arrays of {destinationuid, modifiers, modifiersubtext, vitoclose} dicts
uidata: Dict mapping UIDs to {xpos, ypos} for canvas layout (space nodes ~230px apart horizontally)
name, description, bundleid: Workflow metadata

Common object types

Keyword input (alfred.workflow.input.keyword, version 1):

keyword: the trigger word
argumenttype: 0 = required, 1 = optional, 2 = none
text: display title in Alfred results
subtext: subtitle text
withspace: true to allow space before argument

Run Script (alfred.workflow.action.script, version 2):

script: the script body (XML-escaped)
type: 0 = bash, 5 = zsh
scriptargtype: 0 = input as {query} in script, 1 = input as argv ($1 in bash, $argv in zsh)
escaping: bitmask (102 = spaces+tilde+backslashes+double quotes, does not escape $)
concurrently: false for sequential execution
scriptfile: empty string for inline scripts

Post Notification (alfred.workflow.output.notification, version 1):

title: notification title
text: notification body (use {query} for script output)
lastpathcomponent: false
removeextension: false

Clipboard (alfred.workflow.output.clipboard, version 3):

clipboardtext: text to copy (use {query})
autopaste: true to paste immediately
transient: true to not save in clipboard history

Open URL (alfred.workflow.action.openurl, version 1):

url: the URL to open
browser: bundle ID (e.g., com.google.Chrome) or empty for default

Reference workflows

Existing workflows to study for patterns:

user.workflow.CF67E427-2764-4E80-8A14-50E9E23CAC2A — Google Meet (simple keyword → open URL)
user.workflow.A0DC9B64-8694-4A42-B13B-15D6EEDD9691 — Transform selected text (hotkey + keyword → script → clipboard, uses variables)
user.workflow.FE496108-4453-4225-87DD-C457FD27420C — Details Wrap (keyword → script → notification)

Tips

List existing workflows: for d in ~/Library/Application\ Support/Alfred/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows/*/; do /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print :name" "$d/info.plist" 2>/dev/null; done
Read a workflow's script: /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy or just Read the info.plist
XML-escape < and > in script bodies as < and >

Drive a real browser during frontend work — verify a change rendered, click through a flow, fill forms, read console errors, take screenshots, or debug performance/memory/network. Use whenever interacting with a local web app in a browser (Playwright script templates, chrome-devtools tradeoffs, SPA mock-API gotchas).
