tuist Takt Workflow
Workflows compose actions into repeatable operations.
This skill is a routing guide. Treat takt schema workflow --format toon and workflow manifests as the source of truth.
Critical Rules
- Never write a workflow manifest from scratch. Always run
takt generate workflow <name> --uses <action>first, then edit the generated JSON. - Never let a workflow reference capabilities, packages, raw scripts, or OCI images directly. Workflows use actions only.
- Always validate after edits with
takt validate workflow <name-or-path> --format toon. - If execution behavior matters, inspect the plan with
takt run workflow <name> --format toon.
Quick Reference
| Task | Command |
|---|---|
| Get workflow schema | takt schema workflow --format toon |
| Generate workflow | takt generate workflow <name> --uses <action> |
| Validate workflow | takt validate workflow <name-or-path> --format toon |
| Validate all manifests | takt validate all --format toon |
| Plan workflow run | takt run workflow <name> --format toon |
Responsibilities
- define ordered or dependency-based execution
- wire step inputs
- capture conditions and fan-out
- produce runs and artifacts
Review Flow
- If creating a new workflow, scaffold it first with
takt generate workflow <name> --uses <action>. - Read the relevant file under
workflows/. - Run
takt schema workflow --format toon. - Run
takt validate workflow <name-or-path> --format toon. - Check that every step uses an action reference.
Rules
- Workflows depend on actions only.
- Steps should declare dependencies explicitly.
- Workflow data flow should prefer structured inputs and artifacts over implicit environment mutation.
- Execution concerns belong to the package and its capabilities, not workflow steps.
- When a workflow changes behavior, re-check the actions it references before adding new steps.
Current Command
Use takt generate workflow <name> --uses <action> to scaffold a workflow
manifest, then edit the generated JSON.
Smells
- workflow steps calling package names directly
- step-level OCI image declarations
- orchestration logic hidden inside action handlers
