Workflow Skill — Generate Dify Workflow DSL from Natural Language in Claude Code

[twwch]

What I built

Workflow Skill — a Claude Code skill that generates complete, importable Dify workflow DSL
files from natural language descriptions.

Describe your workflow in one sentence, and get a .dify.yml file ready to import — including all node configuration, edges, layout,
and Dify-specific format requirements.

Demo

/dify-workflow Create a customer service ticket auto-classification and reply workflow

The skill analyzes your description, selects the right node types, assembles the DSL, and outputs a file you can drag into Dify's
"Import DSL" dialog. No manual node wiring needed.

How the Dify Workflow Skill Works

1. Parse your requirement — determines app mode (Chatflow vs Workflow), identifies needed nodes and data flow
2. Template matching — checks against built-in templates (chatbot, RAG, agent, translation) for common patterns
3. Schema assembly — for custom workflows, assembles nodes from complete per-node-type schema references extracted from Dify's
   source code
4. Layout & edges — auto-calculates node positions and wires all connections with correct sourceHandle/targetHandle semantics
5. Output — generates a valid .dify.yml (or .dify.json) file in your current directory

Supported Node Types (14)

start · end · answer · llm · knowledge-retrieval · code · http-request · if-else · variable-aggregator · iteration ·
template-transform · question-classifier · parameter-extractor · tool

Supports complex workflows with conditional branching, nested iterations, parallel paths, and knowledge base retrieval.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/twwch/workflow-skill.git /tmp/workflow-skill
cp -r /tmp/workflow-skill/skills/dify-workflow ~/.claude/skills/                                                                        
 
Then use /dify-workflow <description> in Claude Code.                                                                                   
                                                                                                                                      
Bonus                                                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                                      
The project also includes workflow generators for Coze and ComfyUI using the same natural-language approach.
