Example Workflow Skill
This skill demonstrates proper structure and common patterns for building skills.
Instructions
Step 1: Understand the Request
Analyze user input to determine:
- What outcome they want
- What tools/data are needed
- Any constraints or preferences
Step 2: Execute Workflow
Based on analysis:
For document creation:
- Gather required information
- Apply template from
assets/ - Generate content
- Run quality checks
For MCP operations:
- Verify MCP connection
- Make API calls in sequence
- Validate each response
- Handle errors gracefully
Step 3: Deliver Results
- Summarize what was done
- Provide output/links
- Suggest next steps if applicable
Examples
Example 1: Simple Task
User says: "Create a project checklist"
Actions:
- Ask for project name and key milestones
- Generate checklist from template
- Format as markdown
Result: Formatted checklist ready for use
Example 2: Multi-Step Workflow
User says: "Set up a new client workspace"
Actions:
- Create project folder (Phase 1)
- Generate standard documents (Phase 2)
- Set up tracking (Phase 3)
- Send notification (Phase 4)
Result: Complete workspace with all components linked
Error Handling
Error: Missing Required Input
Cause: User didn't provide necessary information
Solution:
- Identify missing fields
- Ask user for specific missing items
- Provide examples of expected format
Error: Validation Failed
Cause: Generated content didn't meet quality threshold
Solution:
- Log specific validation failures
- Attempt automated fix if possible
- Request user guidance if needed
