What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Creates and improves workflows (an ordered multi-skill arc) for a plugin to the Advanced Skill Library Standard. Use when a recurring sequence of skills is worth formalizing as a workflow, when you need to author a _workflows file with steps and exit criteria, or to resolve S5 workflow findings.

Purpose

Author a plugin's workflows: ordered arcs that chain multiple skills toward an outcome (Standard sec 3.4). Two modes: create authors _workflows/<name>.md (steps, inputs/outputs handed between steps, exit criteria); improve resolves findings. Authoring depth is in references/authoring-workflows.md. Follows the shared builder contract (../../docs/reference/builder-pattern.md).

When to use

When the user asks to author, scaffold, or improve a workflow, or to formalize a recurring multi-skill sequence into an ordered arc.

create mode

Identify the recurring arc: the ordered skills, what is handed between steps, and the exit criteria. Skip the interview if in context.
Author _workflows/<name>.md (copy templates/workflow.md): frontmatter steps (each naming the skill it invokes) plus a body describing the handoffs and exit criteria.
Every referenced skill MUST exist (S5). Every chaining step MUST be permitted by the chain contract (sec 3.4); use askit-build-chain-contract to add the permission if needed.
A workflow SHOULD declare which agent targets it supports.
Evaluate (node scripts/evaluate.mjs . --json) until S5 is clean.

improve mode

Run evaluate and read findings.
For an S5 finding (a step references a skill not on disk), fix the skill name or create the skill. Tighten the handoffs and exit criteria.
Re-run to confirm.

Scope

A workflow is _workflows/<name>.md with ordered steps and exit criteria (sec 3.4). Referenced skills must exist (S5) and chaining steps must be chain-permitted (sec 3.6). The deterministic workflow-step chain-permission check (step orphans) is a planned enhancement; today S5 enforces step skill-existence and the chain contract governs component-to-component invocation.
