Automated summary

Drives the execution of claude-flow workflows through MCP tools: launching, progress monitoring, pausing, resuming and cancelling.

Strengths

  • Covers the full lifecycle of an already-defined workflow, from execution to cancellation
  • Documents four distinct execution modes (sequential, parallel, conditional, manual gate)
  • Short, explicit procedure naming the exact MCP tool to call at each step

Limitations

  • Assumes a configured claude-flow MCP server and a workflow that already exists; it does not author one
  • Monitoring relies on repeated workflow_status polling, with no real-time event stream
  • No guidance on failure recovery, retries, or rolling back completed steps
When to use it

When a workflow is already defined and you need to start it, track its progress, or stop it cleanly.

When not to use it

When you need to design or edit the workflow definition itself, or when the claude-flow MCP server is not available.

Security analysis

Caution
Quality score72/100

The skill only instructs the agent to call claude-flow MCP workflow tools (execute/run/status/pause/resume/cancel). No destructive commands, network exfiltration, obfuscated payloads, or safety-disabling instructions appear. Bash is listed as an allowed tool, which is a powerful capability even though the body never describes how to use it, so the listing warrants mild caution rather than a clean 'safe' rating.

Findings
  • •Declares the Bash tool alongside MCP workflow tools, granting shell execution although no shell commands are actually specified in the instructions
How this analysis is made

Examples

Launch a workflow
Run the workflow named 'release-pipeline' and show me its status once it starts.
Pause for approval
Pause the currently running workflow at its next step so I can review the output before it continues.
Cancel a stuck run
Check the status of the running workflow and cancel it if it is still stuck on the deploy step.

Workflow Run

Execute and manage running workflows.

When to use

When you need to run a defined workflow, monitor its progress, or control its execution (pause, resume, cancel).

Steps

  1. Execute — call mcp__claude-flow__workflow_execute or mcp__claude-flow__workflow_run with the workflow ID
  2. Monitor — call mcp__claude-flow__workflow_status to check progress and step outcomes
  3. Pause — call mcp__claude-flow__workflow_pause to halt execution at the current step
  4. Resume — call mcp__claude-flow__workflow_resume to continue from where paused
  5. Cancel — call mcp__claude-flow__workflow_cancel to abort the workflow

Execution modes

  • Sequential — steps run one after another
  • Parallel — independent steps run concurrently
  • Conditional — steps execute based on previous step outcomes
  • Manual gate — pause for human approval before continuing

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/workflow-run-mrwakbkx/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/workflow-run-mrwakbkx' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/workflow-run-mrwakbkx/download' --output '.skill-downloads/workflow-run-mrwakbkx/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/workflow-run-mrwakbkx/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/workflow-run-mrwakbkx/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

Tools declared by the author (check availability in your agent): mcp__claude-flow__workflow_execute mcp__claude-flow__workflow_run mcp__claude-flow__workflow_pause mcp__claude-flow__workflow_resume mcp__claude-flow__workflow_cancel mcp__claude-flow__workflow_status Bash

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

Claude Code
test -f '.skill-downloads/workflow-run-mrwakbkx/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/workflow-run-mrwakbkx/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.claude/skills' && test ! -e '.claude/skills/workflow-run' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/workflow-run-mrwakbkx' '.claude/skills/workflow-run'

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation
openskills install './.skill-downloads/workflow-run-mrwakbkx'

openskills read 'workflow-run-mrwakbkx'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/workflow-run-mrwakbkx/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
