ccwf-cli
Use the `ccwf` CLI (from @cc-wf-studio/cli) to render, validate, preview, export, or run cc-wf-studio workflow JSON files from the terminal. Apply whenever the user mentions viewing, visualizing, checking, executing, or converting a workflow under `.vscode/workflows/` (or any `*workflow*.json`), wants a Mermaid diagram of a workflow, asks to "see" / "preview" / "open" a workflow, or wants to run a workflow as a Claude Code Skill without opening VSCode.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# 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: ```bash 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/cli` and run via `pnpm exec ccwf` If the user has a VSCode workspace and you can't find a workflow file, search `.vscode/workflows/*.json` first; that's the

What does the ccwf-cli skill do?
Use the `ccwf` CLI (from @cc-wf-studio/cli) to render, validate, preview, export, or run cc-wf-studio workflow JSON files from the terminal.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add breaking-brake/cc-wf-studio --skill ccwf-cli --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From breaking-brake/cc-wf-studio, a repository with 5,342 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
