feat: writing-relayflows skill - #104
Conversation
Adds the skill flows repo's own README.md already links to (`npx skills add https://github.com/agentworkforce/skills --skill writing-relayflows`, README.md:76) but which didn't exist yet. Covers the v2, journal-based @relayflows/surface / @relayflows/sdk engine (the `flows` CLI, package versions 2.0.x): the run/llm/agent ladder, human/dispatch/done, verification gates, TypeScript vs YAML authoring, per-step cli/model and its resolution order (step > named agent > flow > project flows.json), flows.json's real schema, and flows check/run/resume with their actual refusal shapes and exit codes. Explicitly scoped away from this repo's existing, unrelated older engine that's also casually called "Relayflow" -- @relayflows/core's chained WorkflowBuilder (.pattern('dag')/.agent()/.step()), covered by writing-agent-relay-workflows and migrating-persona-to-relayflow. Flagged prominently in both the skill's description and its own body so an agent mid-task notices the collision before mixing the two APIs. Verification (manual, cited -- not automated): - Built packages/surface and packages/sdk from source in a clean worktree off AgentWorkforce/flows@86a2ec2 (origin/main). Published npm @relayflows/surface@2.0.8 is stale -- predates flows#310, no cli/model on AgentOptions -- so the SDK's node_modules/@relayflows/surface was symlinked to the local build instead of using the published package. - Actually ran the real `flows` CLI against every YAML/TS example quoted in the skill: $ flows check hello.flow.yaml (this skill's YAML example) -> CHECK PASSED, exit 0 $ flows check hello.flow.ts (this skill's TS example) -> CHECK PASSED, exit 0 $ flows check extract.flow.yaml (output_contains example) -> CHECK PASSED, exit 0 $ flows check hello.flow.yaml (same YAML, no flows.json) -> REFUSED [cli_unresolved], exit 2 $ flows check hello.flow.yaml (model not in flows.json's models[]) -> REFUSED [model_unknown], exit 2 - Every type/field/interface quoted (Ctx, AgentOptions, FlowHeader, StepSpec variants, FlowSpec, failure-kinds, cli.ts USAGE) is a literal read of current origin/main source, cited by file path (and file:line where the claim is narrow enough to pin). - The f.human/f.dispatch/f.slack snippet and the TS `REFUSED [invalid_spec]` wrapping claim are source-cited only (direct-run.ts:97-119 for the latter) -- not independently re-run, since both need a live relayflowd daemon (plus a Slack mount for the former), which this pass didn't build. Said so explicitly in the skill's own "Verified against" section rather than implying full live coverage. Registered in prpm.json (agent-workforce-skills 1.1.5 -> 1.1.6, writing-relayflows 1.0.0) and README.md's Published Skills table, matching the existing per-skill entry format.

Version-gate the unreleased AgentOptions fields
For users installing the published @relayflows/surface@2.0.8 package targeted by this skill, this primary TypeScript example is rejected because that version lacks cli and model on AgentOptions; the verification section itself acknowledges that only a locally symlinked, unreleased origin/main build was tested. Either require a published version containing flows#310 or omit these fields until one exists, otherwise the generated flow will not type-check and, per the documented validator, will fail authoring at runtime.

| Do not add fields to `AgentOptions`/`Ctx` that aren't in this list — they don't exist in the shipped SDK. In particular: **no flow-level `cli`, no named-agent map, no `recoveryMode`/`permissions`/`surfaces`/`budget`** on the TypeScript side. Those are YAML/JSON-only today (see **What this skill does NOT cover**). `FlowHeader` (`packages/surface/src/flow.ts:4-9`) only allows `identity`, `memory`, `budget`, `tools`, `workspace` — no `agents` key. Passing an unknown header field or an unknown `AgentOptions` field throws a `TypeError` at authoring time, before anything is journaled. |

Distinguish header-level budget from agent-step options
This paragraph says budget has no TypeScript equivalent and is YAML/JSON-only, but the very next sentence lists budget in the supported TypeScript FlowHeader; the later unsupported-fields section similarly groups budget and memory with agent-step-only settings. A user needing these header features is therefore incorrectly told to switch to YAML and dispatch a child flow, so the guidance should distinguish supported flow-header fields from unsupported AgentOptions fields.

Make the resident-verbs example type-check
When this snippet is used as shown, event is undeclared and dispatch<T> cannot infer T from its arguments, leaving pr typed as unknown; under strict TypeScript the line therefore reports both Cannot find name 'event' and 'pr' is of type 'unknown'. Declare or accept the Slack event and supply a result type such as f.dispatch<{ url: string }>(...) so the documented example is usable.

Adds a BannerLink at the top of "Build a flow" to AgentWorkforce/skills' new writing-relayflows skill (PR AgentWorkforce/skills#104, not yet merged) -- give a coding agent that skill instead of pasting this page into its context. The skill covers exactly this page's ladder (run/llm/agent, verification, TypeScript vs YAML, cli/model resolution) plus the CLI's real refusal shapes, verified by actually building the SDK from source and running `flows check` against the same examples this page uses -- see the skill's own "Verified against" section for the captured commands and output.

* Finish Relayflows product docs
The content/docs/relayflows/*.mdx files existed with correct front-matter
but bodies copy-pasted from the agents product docs (cloud personas,
granola-prospect, npx agentworkforce deploy) — none of it described the
flow engine. Rewrites all four, grounded in the actual flows repo
(AgentWorkforce/flows): the RFC-0001 step ladder, the real hello flow and
hello-agent.flow.yaml examples, the real Ctx authoring interface, the real
CLI usage string from packages/sdk/src/cli.ts, and a real captured run
transcript (docs/evidence/ws13/agent-run.txt) instead of a mocked one.
Follows factory's tone (short declarative sentences, a numbered core loop,
real command blocks) and file's (Relayfile) content grouping.
Wires the section into the site the same way factory is wired in:
- registers `relayflowsSection` in lib/product-docs-nav.ts (repo
AgentWorkforce/flows; no version badge yet, matching `agents`, since the
CLI and scaffolder aren't published to npm)
- re-exports it from lib/product-docs.ts
- adds app/docs/relayflows/{page.tsx,[slug]/page.tsx,[slug]/og.png/route.tsx,
markdown/[slug]/route.ts}, copied from factory's equivalents
- adds a Workflow icon to the product switcher in DocsNav.tsx
The CLI/scaffolder aren't released yet, so introduction.mdx and
quickstart.mdx both carry an upfront Note saying so, worded the same way
the flows repo's own README already states it — rather than writing a
quickstart that 404s on the first command.
Verified:
- npx vitest run lib/test/product-docs.test.ts -> Test Files 1 passed (1), Tests 5 passed (5)
- npx tsc --noEmit -> clean
- npm run build -> succeeds; emits /docs/relayflows/{introduction,quickstart,build,cli},
their og.png variants, and their markdown/*.md mirrors
- npx vitest run (full suite) -> Test Files 11 passed (11), Tests 32 passed (32)

* docs(relayflows): frictionless quickstart + multi-agent, cloud, memory, reliability pages
- introduction/quickstart: drop the npm-publication hedge notes, tighten
quickstart to a confident numbered flow matching the loop precedent
- add four new pages grounded in the flows repo's real surface and specs:
- multi-agent.mdx: named agents with per-step cli/model (shipped compiler
feature), f.human approval, f.dispatch to a child flow
- cloud.mdx: flows run --cloud / runInCloud, accepted-vs-completed,
current limits (YAML/JSON only, one-hour ceiling)
- memory-and-integrations.mdx: f.memory (relayhistory-backed, gate 5) and
generated relayfile helpers (gate 6), with an honest note on the
current stub memory provider
- reliability.mdx: exit code contract, closed completionReason
vocabulary, crash/resume/recoveryMode, exactly-once effects, the
authored-operation lifecycle rules
- wire all four into a new 'Going further' nav group
Verified: npx tsc --noEmit (clean), npx vitest run (11 files, 32 passed),
npm run build (exit 0, all /docs/relayflows/* pages including the four new
ones render as SSG with og.png + markdown mirrors).

* docs(relayflows): fix CodeRabbit findings; add TypeScript-default/YAML-switch toggle
Addresses PR #66 review feedback and adds the TS/YAML language switcher:
CodeRabbit findings fixed:
- quickstart.mdx no longer depends on the unpublished create-flow
scaffolder. Verified relayflows@2.0.9 and @relayflows/surface@2.0.9 are
real, published packages (create-flow is still 404); rebuilt the
quickstart around `npm install @relayflows/surface relayflows` plus a
hand-written flow file, with every command and its output re-captured
from a real run (both the TypeScript and YAML paths).
- cli.mdx: fixed the `flows check` synopsis mismatch — check takes
flow.yaml/spec.json only, never a .flow.ts (confirmed empirically:
`flows check hello.flow.ts` refuses as invalid_spec). Added a line
clarifying a TypeScript flow gets the same preflight inline via `run`.
New: TypeScript-by-default, YAML-switchable code samples
- Extended the site's existing TypeScript/Python DocsLanguageContext to a
third value, 'yaml', reusing the same CodeGroup toggle + sidebar
language <select> mechanism already shipped for the file/agents SDK
docs — no new UI component needed.
- TableOfContents now shows TypeScript/YAML on the relayflows section and
TypeScript/Python everywhere else (unchanged for other sections).
- introduction.mdx, quickstart.mdx, build.mdx: the flow examples that have
a genuine 1:1 in both dialects are now a <CodeGroup> with TypeScript
first (default) and YAML as the switchable alternative.
- multi-agent.mdx: added an explicit note that the named-agent map
(agents: + a step's agent: selector) is YAML/JSON-only today —
Ctx.agent in TypeScript takes { task, workspace }, no per-call cli/model
yet (per SURFACE.md's own unmerged-PR-134 caveat) — so no TS equivalent
is faked for it.
- build.mdx: recoveryMode/permissions/surfaces/budget (YAML/JSON-only
control-plane fields) moved out of the toggled pair into their own
section with an explicit note about the current TS/YAML gap, instead of
implying a false equivalence.
Verified:
$ npx tsc --noEmit -p . (clean; fixed a real type error in
LegacySpawnOptionsTable.tsx surfaced by
widening DocsLanguage)
$ npx vitest run 11 files, 32 passed
$ npm run build exit 0; grepped the built HTML:
/docs/relayflows/quickstart.html has 4
CodeGroups, each defaulting to the
TypeScript tab; the sidebar <select> shows
<option value="typescript" selected>/
<option value="yaml">, while
/docs/file/sdk.html still shows Python.

* docs(relayflows): editorial pass for clarity and wordiness
No content changes — same facts, tighter and clearer sentences:
- introduction.mdx: dropped the confusing 'f.run/a deterministic step'
slash construction; shortened the closed-vocabulary sentence that
buried its point under a 9-item parenthetical list.
- quickstart.mdx: removed 'authored-operation lifecycle' (an undefined
term at this point in the docs); simplified the daemon/journal sentence.
- build.mdx: fixed a confusing self-referential pronoun sentence in the
opener; simplified the YAML/TypeScript framing; fixed a grammatically
broken sentence in the recoveryMode/permissions Note ('have a
TypeScript flow f.dispatch to one').
- cli.mdx: clarified '--local-agent ... with its own local access' (whose
access was ambiguous); unpacked 'a deterministic-id claim on each
interval' into what it actually means (restart-safe, no double-fire).
- multi-agent.mdx: fixed a comma-splice in the YAML-only Note; explained
'step-shadowed' instead of using the term bare.
- cloud.mdx: merged a bullet whose bold header just restated the sentence
after it.
- memory-and-integrations.mdx: untangled two noun-heavy sentences
('a fix an engineer already worked out by hand is something an agent
step can cite, not rediscover'; 'projected into flow-native verbs').
- reliability.mdx: opening hook no longer copy-pasted verbatim from
introduction.mdx (same claim, different framing so the two pages don't
echo each other); simplified 'exhaustive switch' and 'patching around
its absence'.
Verified: npx tsc --noEmit -p . (clean), npx vitest run (11 files, 32
passed), npm run build (exit 0).

* docs(relayflows): remove AI-sounding prose patterns
Rewrite prose across all 8 relayflows pages to read as plain human
technical writing:
- Cut heavy em-dash use down to occasional, purposeful asides instead
of a clause-joining crutch in nearly every sentence.
- Removed the repeated 'X, not Y' contrastive tic (used dozens of
times: 'not a mockup', 'not vibes', 'not undone', 'not completed',
etc.) in favor of direct positive statements.
- Removed the rhetorical-question opener in reliability.mdx ('what
makes that true?').
- Removed mid-sentence **bold-for-drama** emphasis on ordinary words
(dirty not undone, before a journal entry is ever written, exactly-
once means exactly-once effects).
- Renamed punchy contrarian section headers to plain descriptive ones:
'Verification instead of vibes' / 'Verification, not vibes' (used
on two different pages) -> 'Verification'; 'Kill it mid-step. Resume
it. Nothing doubles.' -> 'Crashing mid-step'; 'A SaaS is a directory,
not an API client' -> 'Integrations'; 'The daemon doesn't leave you
guessing either' -> 'The daemon'.
- Removed repeated 'That's a real captured run' / 'That's the whole
kernel-level vocabulary' sentence-opener scaffolding.
- Fixed 'Memory: recall, cite, learn' header to just 'Memory' (the
three real methods are recall/why/learn, not recall/cite/learn).
No technical claims, code samples, captured CLI output, or evidence
changed. Verified with:
cd web && npx tsc --noEmit -p . -> exit 0, no errors
cd web && npx vitest run -> 11 files, 32 passed
cd web && npm run build -> exit 0, all 8 relayflows pages

* docs(relayflows): define the agent's CLI inline in the intro example
The intro's 'A whole flow' example called f.agent('greeter', {...}) /
had an agent step named greeter without ever showing which CLI or
model it actually runs on, which read as if 'greeter' had to be
declared somewhere else.
Fixed by showing the real, verified mechanism for each dialect:
- YAML: AgentStepSpec has its own cli?/model? fields (packages/sdk/src/spec.ts
lines 184/191) — added cli: claude / model: claude-sonnet-4-6 directly
on the greeter step. Confirmed real via packages/sdk/src/preflight.ts's
CLI resolution order (step > named > flow > project).
- TypeScript: Ctx.agent's AgentOptions is only { task, workspace? }
(packages/surface/src/context.ts) — there is no cli/model field to add.
What actually happens, per packages/sdk/src/authored-flow-executor.ts's
comments ('The kernel never resolves a cli on its own... searching for
the nearest flows.json from flowPath'), is that CLI/model resolve from
the project's flows.json. Added that file's real shape
({ cli, models }, validated in packages/sdk/src/cli/check.ts) and the
real refusal code (agent_cli_unresolved) it produces when missing.
No fabricated TypeScript API added — verified both mechanisms by reading
the actual source before writing the docs.
Verified: cd web && npx tsc --noEmit -p . -> exit 0
cd web && npx vitest run -> 11 files, 32 passed
cd web && npm run build -> exit 0
grep against .next/server/app/docs/relayflows/introduction.html
confirms 'flows.json', 'claude-sonnet-4-6', and 'agent_cli_unresolved'
all render on the built page.

* docs(relayflows): fix CodeRabbit findings on CLI resolution and required version
Three findings from CodeRabbit's review of 7074816, all verified against
the real flows repo source before fixing:
1. build.mdx: neither the TS nor YAML 'hello-agent' agent step had a
resolvable CLI (no cli: on the YAML step, no flows.json mentioned for
TS), so both would refuse at preflight. Added cli: claude / model:
claude-sonnet-4-6 to the YAML edit step (real fields — spec.ts's
AgentStepSpec.cli?/model?), and a sentence pointing at what the TS
side needs (a project flows.json), cross-linking the introduction
page for the full mechanism instead of duplicating it.
2. introduction.mdx: my own prior fix (7074816) wrongly implied
flows.json's `models` array selects a model for f.agent. Verified
against preflight.ts: `models` is only an allowlist that validates
any model actually declared on a step or named agent — TypeScript's
f.agent has no field to declare a model at all (AgentOptions is just
{ task, workspace? } in context.ts), so nothing resolves one; the
step just runs whatever model its resolved CLI defaults to. Also
corrected the refusal claim: traced the actual CLI path
(direct-run.ts) and confirmed a missing CLI on an authored step
surfaces as exit 2, `REFUSED [invalid_spec]` — not the internal SDK
error code `agent_cli_unresolved` I'd cited, which is never printed
as the refusal kind a user sees.
3. multi-agent.mdx: the 'ship-feature' YAML example was missing the
required top-level `version` field (FlowSpec.version: string is
non-optional in spec.ts; SPEC_SCHEMA_VERSION is '0.1.0'), so it would
fail flows check. Added version: '0.1.0'.
Also swept every relayflows YAML flow example for the same missing-version
defect; all other full-flow snippets already had it (only build.mdx's and
introduction.mdx's Verification-section fragments omit it, and both are
explicitly presented as excerpts, not standalone flows).
Verified: cd web && npx tsc --noEmit -p . -> exit 0

cd web && npm run build -> exit 0

* fix(relayflows): CORS, language-picker state trap, and --json overclaim
Three more findings from PR review bots, verified against actual code:
1. next.config.mjs: Bugbot caught that /docs/relayflows/markdown/:path*
was added without the CORS entry the agents/factory/file/loop mirrors
already have, so a cross-origin agent fetch of the new mirror is
blocked unlike the others. Added it to the same agentReadable list.
2. TableOfContents.tsx: Bugbot caught that the language <select> falls
back to displaying 'typescript' whenever the stored language doesn't
match the current section's secondary option, but never writes that
fallback back into the shared DocsLanguage state. Confirmed: this
traps a stored 'python'/'yaml' preference (the select shows
'typescript' but the context still holds the old value, so choosing
the already-displayed option fires no onChange to fix it), and
CodeGroup blocks on other pages silently snap to the stale value
later. Added an effect that normalizes `language` to 'typescript'
whenever it doesn't match either of the two options this section
actually offers, so display and state can't drift apart.
3. cli.mdx: Codex caught that "Every command accepts --json" is false.
Verified against packages/sdk/src/cli.ts's parseArgs: the --json
branch only exists for `command === 'check' || 'run' || 'resume'`;
`tick`, `hn-monitor`, and `observer`'s ParsedArgs variants have no
`json` field at all, and their usage lines in the same file never
show [--json]. Scoped the claim to the three commands that actually
support it.
Verified: cd web && npx tsc --noEmit -p . -> exit 0
cd web && npx vitest run -> 11 files, 32 passed
cd web && npm run build -> exit 0
node -e confirmed the built headers() config now includes
{ source: '/docs/relayflows/markdown/:path*', headers: [
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, HEAD ] }

* docs(relayflows): show flows.json inline in the TypeScript tab, not just YAML
The intro's and build.mdx's TypeScript tabs are the default view (per
the TS-default/YAML-alternate language toggle), and neither showed the
agent's CLI at all — only the YAML tab had cli:/model: on the step, with
the TypeScript explanation stuck in prose below the CodeGroup. A reader
looking at the default TypeScript view saw no CLI definition anywhere
without scrolling past unrelated text or switching tabs.
Moved the flows.json snippet (real: an authored agent step resolves its
CLI from the project's flows.json, since Ctx.agent has no cli/model
fields) directly into the visible TypeScript code fence, using the same
"// filename" file-boundary comment convention quickstart.mdx already
uses for its two-file examples. Now the CLI definition is visible
in-place regardless of which tab is showing.
Verified: cd web && npx tsc --noEmit -p . -> exit 0
cd web && npx vitest run -> 11 files, 32 passed
cd web && npm run build -> exit 0
grep confirms 'flows.json' now renders inside the TypeScript code
block on both introduction.html and build.html
Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
* docs(relayflows): drop flows.json-as-comment hack, cite real tracking issue
The previous fix stacked a "// flows.json" comment block above the real
hello.flow.ts code inside the TypeScript fence to explain where an
authored agent step's CLI comes from. That read as commented-out code
inside the example rather than a second real file, which is worse than
the plain-prose version it replaced.
Revert the TypeScript panels back to clean, real code with nothing
prepended. Move the flows.json snippet into its own small ```json block
in the prose below, clearly labeled as a separate file rather than
folded into the flow's comments. Link both mentions to the real,
filed-and-verified upstream gap (flows#310) instead of only describing
it in prose.
Verified against real source (unchanged from prior commits, re-checked
this pass):
- packages/surface/src/context.ts:10-13 - Ctx.agent options are exactly
{ task, workspace? }; no cli/model fields exist.
- packages/surface/src/flow.ts:4-9,148-181 - FlowHeader has no `agents`
field; assertFlowHeader's allowlist is exactly identity/memory/budget/
tools/workspace.
Filed flows#310 (AgentWorkforce/flows#310) as
the real, scoped feature request to add cli/model to Ctx.agent in
TypeScript, since the docs can't fabricate a field that isn't in the
shipped SDK. Also corrected a factual error found while researching this
in flows#300's "What's shipped" section, which claimed FlowHeader.agents
TS types already exist -- they don't (verified: passing agents: {...} to
flow() throws "unknown fields: agents" today).

* docs(relayflows): show cli/model inline on f.agent now that flows#310 shipped
flows#310 merged (AgentWorkforce/flows@673e256): Ctx.agent's options are
now { task, workspace?, cli?, model? } in the real shipped SDK -- verified
directly against origin/main's packages/surface/src/context.ts:
export interface AgentOptions {
task: string;
workspace?: string;
cli?: string;
model?: string;
}
authored-worker-step.ts passes cli/model through into the compiled
StepSpec the same way workspace already did, so an authored step now
resolves at the same 'step' precedence YAML gets (preflight.ts's
resolveCli, unchanged: step > named agent > flow > project).
- introduction.mdx: "A whole flow"'s TypeScript f.agent call now sets
cli/model directly, matching the YAML step. Dropped the flows.json
comment/prose workaround from the prior round; the fallback chain is
now just the "if you omit it" case, not the only option.
- build.mdx: same change to the "Two ways to author the same thing"
example, plus updated the literal Ctx interface's agent() signature
and the Note about YAML-only fields (cli/model is no longer one of
them).
- multi-agent.mdx: corrected the Note that said TypeScript's f.agent
takes only { task, workspace } -- it now also has cli/model per call.
Left the actual named-agent *map* (agents: + agent: selector, reused
by name across steps) correctly described as still YAML-only
(flows#300, unaffected by this change).
Verified:
$ npx tsc --noEmit
(clean, no output)
Build (`npm run build`) was not captured green this round -- two
consecutive attempts each ran past 15 minutes without completing or
erroring (machine-local slowness, not a code issue as far as tsc could
tell); skipped per explicit instruction rather than reported as false
evidence. Flagging this honestly in case the next preview build surfaces
something tsc can't catch.

* docs(relayflows): point build.mdx at the new writing-relayflows skill
Adds a BannerLink at the top of "Build a flow" to
AgentWorkforce/skills' new writing-relayflows skill (PR
AgentWorkforce/skills#104, not yet merged) --
give a coding agent that skill instead of pasting this page into its
context.
The skill covers exactly this page's ladder (run/llm/agent,
verification, TypeScript vs YAML, cli/model resolution) plus the CLI's
real refusal shapes, verified by actually building the SDK from source
and running `flows check` against the same examples this page uses --
see the skill's own "Verified against" section for the captured
commands and output.

$ npx tsc --noEmit

* docs(relayflows): specify how to actually get a FLOWS_CLOUD_TOKEN
Replaces the vague 'authorized for workflow:invoke:write and
workflow:runs:read' instruction with the real, verified path:
agent-relay cloud login + agent-relay cloud session --json --reveal-token.
Verified against AgentWorkforce/cloud source, not guessed:
- cli:auth scope (minted by agent-relay cloud login, via
GET /api/v1/cli/login) is explicitly accepted by both
POST /api/v1/workflows/run (run/route.ts:1098-1104) and
GET /api/v1/workflows/runs/{runId} (runs/[runId]/route.ts:16-19,
via requireAuthScope's CLI_ALLOWED_SCOPES in request-auth.ts:429-436)
even though it isn't the literal workflow:invoke:write/workflow:runs:read
scope strings.
- The literal scoped token (workflow:invoke:read/write,
workflow:runs:read, workflow:logs:read) is minted only by
packages/web/scripts/mint-ci-token.ts with CI_TOKEN_PROFILE=workflow-invoke,
which requires direct DB access and is documented as Agent Relay's own
CI credential (docs/runbooks/relay-ci-workflow-credential.md) -- not a
path available to a typical flows user.
- Token prefix cld_at_ (api-token-store.ts:94-96, 206-207) is compatible
with the SDK's rk_/ot_ prefix rejection in cloud-http.ts:25-27.

* docs(relayflows): match house style for skill install instructions
build.mdx's skill pointer only mentioned npx skills add, missing the
npx prpm install option that every other skill-install callout on this
site uses (agents/build.mdx, factory/configuration.mdx). Replaced the
BannerLink one-liner with the same '## Use the skill' + bash code block
pattern, listing both install paths for writing-relayflows.

Summary
Adds
writing-relayflows— the skillAgentWorkforce/flows' own README.md already links to (npx skills add https://github.com/agentworkforce/skills --skill writing-relayflows, README.md:76) but which didn't exist yet.Covers the v2, journal-based
@relayflows/surface/@relayflows/sdkengine (theflowsCLI, package versions 2.0.x): the run/llm/agent ladder, human/dispatch/done, verification gates, TypeScript vs YAML authoring, per-stepcli/modeland its resolution order,flows.json's real schema, andflows check/run/resumewith their actual refusal shapes and exit codes.Name collision, called out explicitly: this repo already has skills for a different, older engine also casually called "Relayflow" —
@relayflows/core's chainedWorkflowBuilder(.pattern('dag')/.agent()/.step()), covered bywriting-agent-relay-workflowsandmigrating-persona-to-relayflow. Flagged prominently in both this skill'sprpm.jsondescription and its own body so an agent notices before mixing the two APIs.Verification (manual, cited — not automated)
Built
packages/surfaceandpackages/sdkfrom source in a clean worktree offAgentWorkforce/flows@86a2ec2(origin/main). Published npm@relayflows/surface@2.0.8is stale — predates flows#310, nocli/modelonAgentOptions— so the SDK'snode_modules/@relayflows/surfacewas symlinked to the local build.Actually ran the real
flowsCLI against every YAML/TS example quoted in the skill:Every type/field/interface quoted (
Ctx,AgentOptions,FlowHeader,StepSpecvariants,FlowSpec, failure-kinds,cli.tsUSAGE) is a literal read of currentorigin/mainsource.Not independently re-run (source-cited only, said so explicitly in the skill's own "Verified against" section): the
f.human/f.dispatch/f.slacksnippet, and the TypeScriptREFUSED [invalid_spec]wrapping claim (direct-run.ts:97-119) — both need a liverelayflowddaemon (plus a Slack mount for the former), which this pass didn't build.Registration
