Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.
Pinned to a commit: passed

About this skill
What it does
The workflow-patterns skill provides a structured approach to designing and managing AI agent workflows. It enables users to define, organize, and automate sequences of tasks with predefined patterns such as linear, branching, or parallel execution models.
When to use it
- When building complex multi-step processes that require precise control over task order and dependencies.
- To streamline repetitive or modular operations in automation scenarios.
- When integrating multiple AI agents into a coordinated system for improved efficiency.
- For developers looking to standardize workflow design across different projects or teams.
Key capabilities
- Supports common workflow patterns like linear, parallel, and conditional branching.
- Enables task dependency management and execution sequencing.
- Facilitates modular workflow construction using reusable components.
- Integrates with AI agent systems for automated process orchestration.
Example prompts
- "Design a workflow pattern for processing customer support tickets in parallel."
- "Create a linear workflow that executes data cleaning, analysis, and reporting sequentially."
- "Implement a branching workflow where the next step depends on the output of the previous task."
Tips & gotchas
- Ensure all agents involved in the workflow are compatible with the defined patterns.
- Use clear documentation for each pattern to avoid confusion during execution or debugging.
