Agent Workflow Designer
Design production-grade multi-agent workflows with clear pattern choice (sequential, parallel, hierarchical), handoff contracts, failure handling, and cost/context controls. It scaffolds workflow configurations and provides guidance on pattern selection, error recovery, and context discipline.
✨ What it does
- Workflow pattern selection for multi-step agent systems.
- Skeleton config generation via workflow_scaffolder.py.
- Context and cost discipline across long-running flows.
- Error recovery and retry strategy scaffolding.
- Documentation pointers for operational pattern tradeoffs.
🎯 When to use it
- A single prompt is insufficient for task complexity.
- You need specialist agents with explicit boundaries.
- You want deterministic workflow structure before implementation.
- You need validation loops for quality or safety gates.
🚀 How to use
Trigger by asking to design or scaffold a multi-agent workflow, e.g., 'Design a sequential workflow for content pipeline' or 'Generate an orchestrator workflow for incident triage'. The skill expects a pattern name (sequential, parallel, router, orchestrator, evaluator) and a workflow name; optionally specify an output path. Example prompts:
python3 scripts/workflow_scaffolder.py sequential --name content-pipeline
python3 scripts/workflow_scaffolder.py orchestrator --name incident-triage --output workflows/incident-triage.json
📄 Output: A scaffolded workflow configuration file (JSON) and/or guidance on pattern selection and best practices.

⚠️ Good to know
Requires Python 3 to run the scaffolder script; the skill provides templates and guidance but does not implement the agents themselves.
❓ FAQ
What patterns are supported?
The skill supports sequential, parallel, router, orchestrator, and evaluator patterns, each suited for different dependency shapes and risk profiles.
How do I generate a workflow skeleton?
Use the workflow_scaffolder.py script with a pattern and name, e.g., python3 scripts/workflow_scaffolder.py sequential --name content-pipeline.
What are common pitfalls to avoid?
Common pitfalls include over-orchestrating simple tasks, missing timeouts/retries, passing full context instead of targeted artifacts, and ignoring cost accumulation.
