What it does
Create a new Stencila workflow. Use when asked to create, write, scaffold, or set up a workflow directory or WORKFLOW.md file. Covers workflow discovery, duplicate-name checks, ephemeral workflows, WORKFLOW.md frontmatter, DOT pipeline authoring, goals, agents, branching, composition, and validation.
Overview
Create a new workflow directory and WORKFLOW.md file for Stencila. A workflow is a directory under .stencila/workflows/ containing a WORKFLOW.md file with YAML frontmatter and a Markdown body. The body should begin with a short human-readable explanation of what the workflow does and how it works, followed by a dot fenced code block that defines the pipeline, and then any additional documentation or referenced content blocks.
Use this skill when the user wants to define a multi-stage AI workflow, orchestrate several agent or human steps, or scaffold a reusable pipeline that can be validated and run with Stencila.
