Author or modify a Workflow Template Library template. Use when creating a template, migrating an example to a template, editing template-metadata or install.form, or preparing a template PR.

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

1 rule. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈1

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 308,232 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Create a Workflow Template Library template

Where the rules are

Read CONTRIBUTING.md § "Authoring a template" before writing anything — do not work from memory. It is the single source of truth for the file layout, the template-metadata block, the categories vocabulary (library/categories.yaml), install.form and how __install__.* references render (the most common source of broken templates), step-type rules, and style. Local validation and the PR checklist are in § "Validating locally" and § "Pull request flow" of the same file.

Templates live at library/workflows/<slug>/<slug>.yaml — one directory per slug; directory, file name, and template-metadata.slug must match.

Migration references

Some templates were migrated from a plain workflow in examples/. Study a pair or two before authoring — the diff shows exactly what "templatizing" means (add the template-metadata block, promote operator-specific values and connector ids to install.form, drop banner comments, tidy step comments):

Template (library/workflows/)Original example (examples/)
create-slack-channel/create-slack-channel.yamlintegrations/slack/create-slack-channel.yaml
hash-threat-check/hash-threat-check.yamlsecurity/detection/hash-threat-check.yaml
ip-reputation-check/ip-reputation-check.yamlsecurity/enrichment/ip-reputation-check.yaml

semantic-knowledge-search/semantic-knowledge-search.yamlsearch/semantic-knowledge-search.yaml
web-search/web-search.yamlsearch/web-search.yaml

ip-reputation-check is the golden example referenced throughout CONTRIBUTING.md.

Workflow

  1. Read the CONTRIBUTING.md sections above.
  2. Pick the closest migration pair from the table and mirror its structure.
  3. Author the template; follow every rule in § "Authoring a template" (especially the __install__.* rendering rules).
  4. Validate per § "Validating locally" and open the PR per § "Pull request flow", including the validation output and a test plan.
