Workflow Skill Designer
Meta-skill for creating structured workflow skills following the orchestrator + phases pattern. Generates complete skill packages with SKILL.md as coordinator and phases/ folder for execution details.

Core Design Patterns
Patterns extracted from successful workflow skill implementations (workflow-plan, project-analyze, etc.):
Pattern 1: Orchestrator + Progressive Loading
SKILL.md
= Pure coordinator. Contains:
Architecture diagram (ASCII)
Execution flow with
Ref: phases/0N-xxx.md
markers
Phase Reference Documents table (read on-demand)
Data flow between phases
Core rules and error handling
Phase files
= Full execution detail. Contains:
Complete agent prompts, bash commands, code implementations
Validation checklists, error handling
Input/Output specification
Next Phase link
Key Rule
SKILL.md references phase docs via
Ref:
markers. Phase docs are read
only when that phase executes
, not all at once.
Pattern 2: TodoWrite Attachment/Collapse
Phase starts:
→ Sub-tasks ATTACHED to TodoWrite (in_progress + pending)
→ Orchestrator executes sub-tasks sequentially
Phase ends:
→ Sub-tasks COLLAPSED back to high-level summary (completed)
→ Next phase begins
Pattern 3: Inter-Phase Data Flow
Phase N output → stored in memory/variable → Phase N+1 input
└─ or written to session file for persistence
Each phase receives outputs from prior phases via:
In-memory variables (sessionId, contextPath, etc.)
Session directory files (.workflow/active/{sessionId}/...)
Planning notes (accumulated constraints document)
Pattern 4: Conditional Phase Execution
Phase N output contains condition flag
├─ condition met → Execute Phase N+1
└─ condition not met → Skip to Phase N+2
Pattern 5: Input Structuring
User input (free text) → Structured format before Phase 1:
GOAL: [objective]
SCOPE: [boundaries]
CONTEXT: [background/constraints]
Pattern 6: Interactive Preference Collection (SKILL.md Responsibility)
Workflow preferences (auto mode, force explore, etc.) MUST be collected via AskUserQuestion in SKILL.md
before
dispatching to phases. Phases reference these as
workflowPreferences.{key}
context variables.
Anti-Pattern

--yes
,

}
)

// CORRECT: In phase files (reference only)

const
autoYes
=
$
ARGUMENTS
.
includes
(
'--yes'
)
||
$
ARGUMENTS
.
includes
(
'-y'
)
Pattern 7: Direct Phase Handoff
When one phase needs to invoke another phase within the same skill, read and execute the phase document directly. Do NOT use Skill() routing back through SKILL.md.
// CORRECT: Direct handoff (executionContext already set)
Read
(
"phases/02-lite-execute.md"
)
// Execute with executionContext (Mode 1)
// WRONG: Skill routing (unnecessary round-trip)
Skill
(
skill
=
"workflow-lite-plan"
,
args
=
"--in-memory"
)
Pattern 8: Phase File Hygiene
Phase files are internal execution documents. They MUST NOT contain:
Prohibited
Reason
Correct Location
Flag parsing (
$ARGUMENTS.includes(...)
)
Preferences collected in SKILL.md
SKILL.md via AskUserQuestion
Invocation syntax (
/skill-name "..."
)
Not user-facing docs
Removed or SKILL.md only
Conversion provenance (
Source: Converted from...
)
Implementation detail
Removed
Skill routing for inter-phase (
Skill(skill="...")
)
Use direct phase read
Direct
Read("phases/...")
Pattern 9: Compact Recovery (Phase Persistence)
Multi-phase workflows span long conversations. Context compression (compact) will naturally summarize earlier phase documents. The strategy uses
双重保险
TodoWrite 跟踪 active phase 保护其不被压缩,sentinel 作为兜底在压缩发生时触发恢复。
Design principle
TodoWrite
in_progress
= active phase → protect from compact | Sentinel = re-read fallback if protection fails.
Double insurance mechanism
:
Layer
Role
Mechanism
1. Active Phase Protection
预防
TodoWrite
in_progress
标记当前 phase → compact 时保留该 phase 完整内容,不压缩
2. Sentinel Re-read
恢复
Phase 文件嵌入标识符 → 若仍被压缩,检测到 sentinel-only 状态时立即 re-read
When to apply
任何通过 direct handoff (Pattern 7) 跨 phase 执行的场景,尤其是后续 phase 包含复杂执行协议(多 Step、agent 调度、CLI 编排)时。 Layer 1: Active Phase Protection (TodoWrite 联动) TodoWrite 已经跟踪每个 phase 的执行状态。利用此信息驱动 compact 策略: TodoWrite status → Compact behavior: ┌─ completed → ✅ 可压缩(已完成,不再需要完整内容) ├─ in_progress → 🛡️ 禁止压缩(正在执行,必须保留完整协议) └─ pending → ✅ 可压缩(尚未加载,无内容) SKILL.md Execution Flow 中标注 compact 联动:

Execution Flow
>
**
⚠️ COMPACT DIRECTIVE
**
Context compression MUST check TodoWrite phase status.

The phase currently marked in_progress is the active execution phase — preserve its FULL content.

Only compress phases marked completed or pending . Phase 1: Requirements Analysis ← TodoWrite tracks status └─ Ref: phases/01-xxx.md Phase 2: Execution Engine ← TodoWrite tracks status └─ Ref: phases/02-xxx.md ... TodoWrite 状态转换 时自动更新 compact 保护范围: Phase 1: in_progress 🛡️ → completed ✅ (compact 可压缩 Phase 1) Phase 2: pending ✅ → in_progress 🛡️ (compact 保护 Phase 2) Layer 2: Sentinel Re-read (兜底恢复) 即使有 Layer 1 保护,compact 仍可能在极端场景(超长上下文、多轮 agent 调度)下压缩 active phase。Sentinel 确保恢复能力: Phase 文件顶部嵌入 sentinel :

** 📌 COMPACT SENTINEL [Phase N: {phase-name}] **

This phase contains {M} execution steps (Step N.1 — N.{M}).

If you can read this sentinel but cannot find the full Step protocol below, context has been compressed.

Recovery: Read("phases/0N-xxx.md") Sentinel 设计特点: 结构化、醒目 → compact 会将其作为关键信息保留在摘要中 包含 step 数量 → 提供自检依据("应该看到 M 个 Step,但只有摘要") 包含 re-read 路径 → 无需查表即可恢复 Phase Reference Table (整合双重保险) | Phase | Document | Purpose | Compact | |

Critical Rule
Phase files must be content-faithful to their source. Do NOT summarize, abbreviate, or simplify. The phase file IS the execution instruction - every bash command, every agent prompt, every validation step must be preserved. SKILL.md Template

Next Phase Return to orchestrator, then auto-continue to Phase N+1: xxx . Design Decision Framework When designing a new workflow skill, answer these questions: Question Impact Example How many phases? Directory structure 3-7 phases typical Which phases are conditional? Orchestrator logic "Phase 3 only if conflict_risk >= medium" What data flows between phases? Data Flow section sessionId, contextPath, configFlags Which phases use agents? Phase file complexity Agent prompts need verbatim preservation What's the TodoWrite granularity? TodoWrite Pattern Some phases have sub-tasks, others are atomic Is there a planning notes pattern? Post-Phase Updates Accumulated state document across phases What's the error recovery? Error Handling Retry once then report, vs rollback Does it need preference collection? Interactive Preference Collection Collect via AskUserQuestion in SKILL.md, pass as workflowPreferences Does phase N hand off to phase M? Direct Phase Handoff (Pattern 7) Read phase doc directly, not Skill() routing Will later phases run after long context? Compact Recovery (Pattern 9) Add sentinel + checkpoints, mark 🔄 in Phase Reference table
