Questions about workflow
What does the workflow skill do?
Build a durable multi-step pipeline on Convex where each step runs in order and is retried independently on failure (transcribe→summarize→email, ETL, order fulfillment, any 'do A then B then C, retry each' job). Use @convex-dev/workflow — do NOT hand-roll a chain of scheduler calls or a custom jobs table. TRIGGER on multi-step / pipeline / 'retry each step' / long-running orchestration requests.
How do I install workflow?
In a terminal: npx skills add get-convex/convex-backend-skill --skill workflow. The skills CLI asks which agents to install it for. In Claude.ai you can upload the skill folder as a ZIP under Settings → Skills.
Which agents can use workflow?
Skills use the open SKILL.md format, which Claude Code, Claude.ai, the Claude API, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and other agents support.
Is workflow safe to use?
Our automatic check found no risky patterns (piped shell scripts, hidden characters, secret access, prompt overrides). It is not a full audit – read the SKILL.md and any scripts before installing.
