skills: Relayflows v2 authoring friction, 12.4 PR-owner subscribe, and the v1 deprecation - #107
Conversation
… run
Both skills were written against an earlier v2 surface and neither warned
about the two things that each cost a full run while authoring a 58-step
campaign flow for AgentWorkforce/relay.
writing-relayflows (1.0.0 -> 1.1.0):
- `--local-agent` is REQUIRED for any local run with an agent step. Also the
three sharp edges around it: the remedy is only named for `flows run` on a
spec path, `flows resume --local-agent` accepts and ignores the flag on a
spec run, and `flows schedule` has no such flag at all.
- A failing `subprocess_gate` reports exit=1 with empty stdout AND stderr
tails, nothing in relayflowd.log, nothing in the CLI output. Prefer
`artifact_exists`/`regex_match`, or put enforcement in a deterministic step
after the agent.
- Eight gate types, not three, plus the TypeScript `.gate()` postfix form.
- The three-argument `flow(name, header, body)` and where a TS budget lives.
- `f.run`'s default lease is 30s, maximum 15m — invisible in the old docs and
long enough to bite anything touching the network.
- There is no `failOnError: false`; document both workarounds.
- `permissions` is journaled and NOT enforced; `options.cwd` is declared by
the packages and rejected by the runtime at the same version.
- A green `flows check` says nothing about whether the daemon will accept the
spec, so budget a shakedown run.
relay-80-100-workflow (1.0.9 -> 1.1.0):
- Every code example is the v1 builder. Say so up front, and add the v1-to-v2
translation table plus the evidence-recorder pattern that replaces
failOnError + captureOutput + {{steps.X.output}}.
- Don't gate agent steps in v2, for the reason above.
Claims are cited to source in the flows tree (e73b315e, CLI 2.0.22) or to an
observed run. Items credited to the Relayflows v2 Field Report (2026-09-18,
Julian Fann) were corroborated against the same tree. Upstream issues filed
as AgentWorkforce/flows#502-#511.

More friction from the same campaign, found after the PR was opened.
writing-relayflows:
- `artifact_exists` cannot see a dot-directory. It reads the worker's journaled
`artifacts` list, which omits those paths. Measured: 6,837 artifacts
journaled ({target: 6832, crates: 5}), zero under `.workflow-artifacts/`,
while the agent had demonstrably written there. A run then died gating on a
25 KB file sitting on disk. Not a .gitignore effect — target/ is ignored too
and is included. (AgentWorkforce/flows#513)
With both named gates unusable on an agent step, the shape that works is the
one the 80-to-100 skill already prescribes: a deterministic step after the
agent, checking the disk.
- How to watch a run: `flows status` is the surface and it is good; there is no
observer link for a local run and no channel (#341, #264); `flows logs` is
documented but refused in 2.0.22; `LEASE OVERDUE` is usually a display
artifact; and the reported step count exceeds the authored one because the
kernel adds a lowered `.gate` step per gated step.
relay-80-100-workflow:
- same artifact_exists note, and: gate the hazard, not a tool's mode. A gate
asserting "the selector said targeted" rather than "no runtime path is
unmapped" was unsatisfiable by construction, because registering a feature
required editing the manifest and that forced full-smoke unconditionally. It
failed correct work and read as the agent's fault.

A skill that teaches "artifact_exists silently fails for dot-directories" is carrying a bug's water, and it rots the day the bug is fixed. The previous two commits mixed that material into the body. writing-relayflows: - New "Open bugs you must author around" section, stamped CLI 2.0.22 / 2026-09-20, one row per bug with its workaround and a delete-when issue link. Ten rows, all deletable independently. - The inline sections now carry only the lesson that survives the fix. The two broken gates collapse to "don't gate an agent step — check it in the step after", which is craft, not a workaround. - Watching a run keeps two durable facts: the reported step count exceeds the authored one (lowered .gate steps), and a gate script's own side-effect log is NOT a progress signal, because agents run those same commands on themselves. flows status is the only caller-accurate view. relay-80-100-workflow: - Same split on the agent-gate advice. - New: cross-check your gates against each other. Nothing validates that the assertions you write are mutually satisfiable. A seam-rules gate required a file that an edit-gate rejected as out-of-scope; no implementation could pass both, and the agent began reverting correct work to appease it. Also filed AgentWorkforce/flows#514: flows check already computes the facts that would have prevented five dead runs (it prints REQUIRES naming the agent steps) and spends none of them. Most of the quarantine section exists because of that one gap. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Restructured in So it's split now. Durable craft stays in the body and survives every fix:
Perishable workarounds are quarantined in Open bugs you must author around, stamped CLI 2.0.22 / 2026-09-20 — ten rows, each with its workaround and a delete-when issue link, all independently removable. New in Also filed flows#514, which is the root of most of that quarantine section: Versions 1.1.1 → 1.2.0 on both, root 1.3.0. |
…or real Everything here was paid for once. **Green gates are necessary and nowhere near sufficient.** A tree passed every deterministic gate — scope, manifest routing, targeted selection, invariant tests with a mutation transcript, fmt/clippy/release build, typecheck, 3,395 unit tests, all five E2E parity suites — and a fresh adversarial reviewer then returned 15 findings, 2 disqualifying, verdict "do not seal". Gates check properties you thought to name; the review catches what you did not. Moved this to the top, because it reframes everything under it. **A requirement that induces a hazard must gate that hazard.** The workflow demanded proof that tests bite (mutate, capture the failure, restore). An implementer skipped the restore, shipping a mutation probe on a live delivery path whose `&body[..1]` panics on a multi-byte first char. Every gate passed it. If you ask an agent to temporarily break something, gate that it was put back — and prove that gate bites. Plus four smaller rules: give every repair owner an explicit "if green, do nothing" clause (one burned 21 minutes inventing work against a 2-7 minute norm; 4 of 7 prompts lacked it); seal the product tree, not just the evidence directory, or your reviewer is bound to a hash of the wrong thing; verify at the granularity the risk lives at (256 test functions before and after, ~90 assertions deleted from inside them); and retry a flaky gate once while recording which attempt passed, so a suite that only ever passes on retry stays visible.

A tree passed every deterministic gate — scope, feature-manifest routing, targeted-verification selection, invariant tests with a mutation transcript, Gates check properties you thought to name. The review catches what you didn't. On this run that was most of the risk, so the review/fix rounds are not a formality bolted onto a working pipeline — they're where the defects were found. New section: a requirement that induces a hazard must gate that hazard. The workflow demanded proof that tests bite — mutate the guarded code, capture the failing transcript, restore it. An implementer did the first two and skipped the third: // MUTATION: drop the addressee and truncate the body.

main's refresh (9316e6d) verified writing-relayflows against the published @relayflows/surface@2.0.16 / 2.0.17 and corrected several claims under review. This branch's edits to that file are superseded: the durable campaign lessons they carried (no failOnError, the evidence recorder, watching a run, --reuse-from) move into relay-80-100-workflow, which cross-references this skill for the authoring surface rather than restating it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
v2 is now the assumed and only engine. Every example is v2-native
(`f.run`/`f.agent`, `flow()` header budget, `dependsOn`, `maxIterations`,
`--local-agent`); the v1 builder survives as one migration note, not as the
skill's spine.
The evidence recorder is now the spine: a script that runs a command,
journals {name, command, exitCode, verdict, tail, runId} and always exits 0,
plus a require-green step that recomputes the verdict from the recordings.
That is what replaces failOnError, captureOutput and {{steps.X.output}} at
once, and it carries the run stamp that stops --reuse-from resurrecting a
previous run's verdict.
The campaign lessons are kept and sharpened, with their evidence: green gates
are necessary and nowhere near sufficient (15 findings, 2 disqualifying, on an
all-green tree) leads the skill; a requirement that induces a hazard must gate
that hazard (the shipped &body[..1] mutation probe); a test that guards a
helper does not guard the call site; repair owners need a "do nothing" clause;
seal the product tree; verify at the granularity the risk lives at; retry a
flaky gate once and record which attempt passed; cross-check gates against
each other.
Gate-set specifics now cross-reference writing-relayflows instead of being
restated here, since the shipped set moves between releases. 675 -> 309 lines.

Reframed: v2 is the assumed engine, not a translation layerThe previous revision of The evidence recorder is now the spine of the skill, not an appendix. v2 gates every deterministic step on exit code with no opt-out, which is exactly wrong for a flow where a red check is meant to be work for a repair agent rather than the end of the run. The recorder answers that: a script that runs a command, journals Everything paid for in the 67-step campaign is kept, with the evidence that makes it credible, but tightened. "Green gates are necessary and nowhere near sufficient" now leads the skill — an all-green tree that a fresh adversarial reviewer answered with 15 findings, 2 disqualifying and "do not seal" reframes every mechanic that follows. Also kept: a requirement that induces a hazard must gate that hazard (the mutation probe with Cut: the v1/v2 translation table, the four-step v1 test-fix-rerun example, the duplicated edit-gate example, the standalone regression-testing and mock-sandbox sections (folded into one short "local test substrates" section with PGlite), and the version-sensitive gate detail — the shipped gate set moves between releases, so the skill now cross-references Merge conflict

…ant lessons Retarget pass over the folded-in #108 content plus the open review findings on this PR. Deprecation (v1 -> v2): - writing-agent-relay-workflows 1.6.25 -> 2.0.0. DEPRECATED banner at the top of SKILL.md and a rewritten frontmatter description, so a skill listing shows the deprecation and the pointer to writing-relayflows without opening the file. All v1 reference material kept intact below. - migrating-persona-to-relayflow 1.0.0 -> 1.1.0. Same short pointer, and corrects the stale "v2 is still under construction" bullet — v2 ships today as @relayflows/surface / @relayflows/sdk, CLI `flows`. - agent-relay-starter collection 1.1.0 -> 1.2.0: writing-relayflows is now the required workflow-authoring skill; the v1 skill drops to optional. Retargeted out of the v1 skill into relay-80-100-workflow 2.0.0 -> 2.1.0 (the v2 validation skill), because both lessons are about the ladder, not about either engine's syntax: - do not add a repair step to a gate with no agent-fixable failure surface - grade computable things in a deterministic step, never with an LLM Both also get an anti-pattern row. The idle-detection / per-turn spawn material stayed in the v1 skill: idleThresholdSecs, preset and interactive channel agents have no v2 equivalent. Review findings resolved in relay-80-100-workflow: - "None of that is reachable by a gate" was too categorical; the residue gate later in the skill shows the opposite - the re-record example used `/* same command */`, which does not compile; the command is now a named const reused by both record calls - require-green now writes BLOCKED_NO_COMMIT before its non-zero exit, so the artifact the skill requires actually exists when acceptance is red - `npx vitest run` -> `npx --no vitest run`, with a note to run tools from the project's own lockfile (CWE-494) writing-relayflows 1.2.0 -> 1.3.0: reconciles "always gate an agent step" with relay-80-100-workflow's "enforce after the agent, not on it" — the two skills contradicted each other. Where the check goes now depends on whether a red result should stop the run or become repairable work. Root agent-workforce-skills 1.5.0 -> 1.6.0.

…blished 2.0.22
The skill was refreshed against @relayflows/surface 2.0.16 and then merged with
notes taken at 2.0.22, leaving both halves standing. Every claim below was
re-read from the published 2.0.22 .d.ts and dist/*.js (npm latest; there is no
2.0.23), and the losing side deleted rather than hedged.
- AgentOptions.permissions: it IS a TypeScript option, added in 2.0.17, and
PermissionsSpec is exported from the package root. The SDK validates it,
lowers it to file_globs/network_allowlist/access_preset and journals it, and
nothing enforces it (preflight warns permissions_unenforced; flows#442).
Removed from the two "YAML/JSON-only, no TS equivalent" lists; the remaining
YAML-only agent fields are recoveryMode, surfaces, output and the agent:
selector.
- Predicate .gate() and the artifact_exists gate ship (flows#449 landed). The
skill claimed both were refused with unsupported_gate "until #449 lands";
the quick-reference repeated it. Now stated once: both forms run, one per
step, and only a config object is provable by flows check.
- f.human executes: it parks on a kernel wait.human, answered with
flows answer <run> human-<n> yes|no and continued by flows resume. Only
f.dispatch is still unsupported_verb.
- Ctx.human returns Step<boolean>, not Promise<boolean>.
- Narrowed the unknown-field claim: a bad flow header throws a TypeError at
runtime; a bad AgentOptions field is a tsc error, not a runtime one.
- Verified against now records 2.0.22 and names which side of each
contradiction won.
Already correct at HEAD and left alone: run(command, options?), f.done's six
FLOW_COMPLETION_REASONS, and the absence of budget.maxWallclockMs
(FlowHeader.budget is string | {tokens?, dollars?, wallclock?}).

What this is
Friction found while authoring a real Relayflows v2 flow — a 58-step native-delivery migration campaign for
AgentWorkforce/relay(flows/migrate/native-delivery.spec.ts), run against CLI 2.0.22 — plus the corroborated findings from the Relayflows v2 Field Report (2026-09-18, Julian Fann).Two things in here each cost a full run, and neither skill mentioned them.
writing-relayflows1.0.0 → 1.1.0--local-agentis required for any local run with an agent step. Without it the run parks at the first agent step with a message that reads as your infrastructure is missing a worker, not pass this flag. Plus the three sharp edges around it:flows runon a YAML/JSON spec path — a.flow.tsgets no hint, andflows resumenever does (packages/sdk/src/cli/run.ts:627-640);flows resume --local-agent <run-id>accepts the flag and ignores it on a spec run (resumeFlowattaches a worker only on the authored-TS path,run.ts:209), so it parks again identically;flows schedulehas no--local-agentat all, so a scheduled agent flow parks forever on a timer.A failing
subprocess_gatetells you nothing. The lowering runs the command understdio: 'inherit'and the daemon's stdio is captured nowhere. Myimplement-ruststep succeeded and journaled all four required sources; its gate then failed three times and exhausted retries, reporting:{"completionReason":"retries_exhausted","output":{"exit_code":1,"stderr_tail":"","stdout_tail":""}}The gate command prints a verdict on every path. That verdict was in none of: the journal,
.relayflowd/relayflowd.log(0 bytes), the CLI output. The skill now says to preferartifact_exists/regex_match, and to put enforcement in a deterministic step after the agent rather than in a gate on it.Also corrected:
regex_match,artifact_exists,subprocess_gate,references_input,word_count_boundswere all missing), plus the TypeScript.gate()postfix form onStep<T>;flow(name, header, body)and where a TypeScript budget lives;f.run's default lease is 30s, max 15m (packages/surface/src/context.ts:60) — invisible in the documented signature and long enough to bitegit fetch,cargo buildorgh pr createin their bad case;failOnError: false— both workarounds documented, with why|| trueis the weaker one;permissionsis journaled and not enforced, andoptions.cwdis declared by surface+sdk and rejected by the runtime at the same version;flows checksays nothing about whether the daemon will accept the spec, so budget a shakedown run and treat green unit tests plusCHECK PASSEDas necessary but not sufficient.relay-80-100-workflow1.0.9 → 1.1.0Every code example in it is the v1 builder (
failOnError,captureOutput,{{steps.X.output}},.onError()). None of those exist in v2, so following the skill literally for a v2 flow produces something that will not compile. Added:failOnError+captureOutput+{{steps.X.output}}— a script that runs a command, journals{name, command, exitCode, verdict, tail}and always exits 0, with arequire-greengate reading it back. This is what I actually had to build, and it buys something v1 didn't: final acceptance recomputes green from recordings instead of trusting an agent's report;Verification
Every claim is cited to a file and line in
AgentWorkforce/flows@e73b315e(CLI 2.0.22) or to an observed run — I checked each one against the tree rather than repeating the field report. Where a finding is the report's and I could not cheaply re-derive it (thef.gitlabwriteback catalog), it is attributed and the part I did verify (providers.tsmarking bothsupported: trueidentically) is what's cited.Upstream issues filed from the same material: AgentWorkforce/flows#502–#511, all labelled
factory-ready.Both package descriptions stay under the 500-character limit that #105 fixed (475 and 492).

Overview
This PR repositions the skills repo around Relayflows v2 and bumps the root package to 1.7.0, with coordinated
prpm.json/ README version and description updates.Deprecation and routing:
writing-agent-relay-workflowsis marked DEPRECATED (2.0.0) for the v1@relayflows/coreWorkflowBuilder; new work is directed towriting-relayflowsandrelay-80-100-workflow. Theagent-relay-startercollection now requires@agent-relay/writing-relayflowsand lists the v1 skill as optional.migrating-persona-to-relayflow(1.1.0) clarifies v1 vs v2 and drops the stale “v2 under construction” wording.relay-80-100-workflow(2.1.0) is rewritten for v2 flows: the evidence recorder (record/require-green,runIdstamping) replaces v1failOnError/captureOutput, plus edit/hazard gates, gate cross-checks, fresh-eyes review, and explicit guidance on when not to add repair steps or use LLMs as graders.writing-relayflows(1.4.0) is reconciled with@relayflows/surface/@relayflows/sdk2.0.22:permissions(journaled, unenforced), working predicate /artifact_existsgates, executablef.human(whilef.dispatchstill isn’t), and enforce-after-agent vs terminal gates aligned with the 80–100 skill. The v1 workflow skill picks up matching repair/LLM-grading cautions and idle-detection / per-turn spawn notes.orchestrating-agent-relay(2.4.0) adds GitHub PR-ownerintegration subscribe(four globs, rebinding after respawn, no helper duplicate bindings, unsubscribe before release, verify real events not just--list), plus fleet inventory/release and expanded troubleshooting.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit b373c76.
