Workflow Automation Skill

Use this skill for reusable deterministic automation across workflow, cron, and runtime execution tools.

Instructions

When creating workflows:

1. Prefer deterministic execution-layer tools in steps (app_run, app_test, browser_test, workspace_status, workspace_sync).
2. Use workflow_create with concise step names and explicit args.
3. Avoid open-ended delegation in workflow steps (task_*) unless the user explicitly requests it.

When running workflows:

1. Use workflow_run for immediate execution.
2. Summarize step-level pass/fail output clearly.
3. If a step fails, report the failed step and recommended next action.

When scheduling with cron:

1. Use cron_create with a 5-field UTC expression (minute hour day month weekday).
2. Explain UTC explicitly when user gives a local-time schedule.
3. Use cron_list to confirm active schedules and cron_run for immediate verification.

When cleaning up automation:

1. Use workflow_list to identify existing workflows/runs.
2. Use workflow_delete for obsolete workflows.
3. Use cron_delete to remove outdated schedules.

When user asks for direct deterministic checks:

1. Use app_run for explicit commands.
2. Use app_test for test execution (explicit command or auto-detected).
3. Use browser_test for URL + mustInclude assertions and optional screenshots.
