Ccwf Cli
If you're using cc-wf-studio workflows (those JSON files under .vscode/workflows) and want to work with them outside VSCode, this is your CLI. Run ccwf validate to schema-check, ccwf preview to see a Mermaid diagram and node details in your browser, ccwf export to generate Claude Code skill files, or ccwf run to do that and immediately execute. The preview auto-reloads when the file changes, and the MCP subcommand lets you wire it into Claude Code's tool system so the agent can edit workflows directly. It covers the gap between the visual VSCode extension and terminal-first workflows. Honest take: the --launch flag on run is the real time-saver if you're iterating on workflow designs.

ccwf CLI
ccwf is the command-line entry into cc-wf-studio — a visual AI-agent workflow tool. It treats .vscode/workflows/*.json workflow files as inputs and lets you render them as Markdown, validate the schema, open them in a browser-based viewer, convert them into Agent Skills, or execute them. The same workflow JSON also drives the VSCode extension and an MCP server, so you can pick whichever interface fits the situation.
This Skill teaches Claude how to recognise when ccwf is the right answer and which subcommand to reach for. The subcommands and flags listed here are the source of truth — if behaviour seems off, check ccwf <subcommand> --help first.
Prerequisites
Confirm ccwf is available before running any other subcommand:
ccwf --version
If ccwf is not on PATH:
- Preferred: install globally —
npm install -g @cc-wf-studio/cli - Without install: prefix every command with
npx @cc-wf-studio/cli(e.g.npx @cc-wf-studio/cli render <file>) - In a project:
pnpm add -D @cc-wf-studio/cliand run viapnpm exec ccwf
