dify-workflow

What This Skill Does

The dify-workflow skill acts as your specialized command center for managing Dify self-hosted workflow DSL files. Unlike general Dify management, this skill focuses exclusively on the structural integrity of the workflow YAML schema. It provides the logic needed to parse, modify, and optimize complex Dify workflow definitions. Whether you are adding nodes, re-routing edges, or fixing import errors that occur when moving between Dify instances, this skill ensures that your modifications strictly adhere to the expected Dify backend schema. By prioritizing a 'minimal edit' approach—starting from existing exports—it mitigates the risk of corrupting your workflow files.

Installation

You can install this skill directly via the OpenClaw CLI using the following command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/arn0ld87/dify-workflow

Use Cases

This skill is designed for developers and DevOps engineers who manage complex AI pipelines in Dify. Use this when you need to:

• Automate the generation of large workflow structures while maintaining valid YAML syntax.
• Debug 'Invalid Workflow' errors during import by inspecting node handle connections and variable dependencies.
• Migrate workflows across different self-hosted versions without manual UI clicking.
• Perform bulk refactoring on node types or configurations within a single file.

Example Prompts

1. "I am getting a schema validation error when importing my YAML. Can you check if my node handles are properly connected to the LLM node? Here is the export: [pasted YAML]"
2. "Add a 'Code' node between the 'Start' and 'LLM' node in this workflow, ensuring the output of the code node feeds into the 'query' variable of the LLM node."
3. "Review this workflow file and remove any hardcoded API keys while ensuring the 'HTTP Request' node structure remains valid."

Tips & Limitations

Always follow the Golden Rule: 'Export First'. Never attempt to generate a full workflow from scratch if you haven't first exported a baseline file from your specific Dify instance, as schema versions can vary drastically. The skill performs best when given a real export as a reference point. Note that this skill is for structural workflow editing; for managing Prompt templates or Knowledge Bases, please switch to the standard dify skill to avoid configuration mismatches. Always validate your edited files in a staging environment before pushing them to production.
