Create Workflow Command

This skill generates a workflow orchestration system that breaks complex multi-step tasks into separate agents with file-based instructions. Instead of cramming everything into one bloated command, you get a lean orchestrator that spawns sub-agents, each reading detailed instructions from task files in your plugin's tasks directory. The pattern uses ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} for portable paths and supports sequential execution, parallel steps, and stateful resumption. You end up with a command file that coordinates (around 50-100 tokens per step) and separate task markdown files with the actual heavy instructions (500+ tokens each). Good for feature implementations, code migrations, or any workflow where context isolation matters more than simplicity.

Create Workflow Command

Create a command that orchestrates multi-step workflows by dispatching sub-agents with task-specific instructions stored in separate files.

User Input

Workflow Name: $1
Description: $2

Architecture Overview

Workflow commands solve the context bloat problem: instead of embedding detailed step instructions in the main command (polluting orchestrator context), store them in separate task files that sub-agents read on-demand.
