hello is the starter workflow: a single agent <Task> that runs the prompt in
.smithers/prompts/hello.mdx and greets whoever you name. It is the smallest
complete workflow in the init pack and the recommended starting point for
authoring your own. Edit the prompt (plain Markdown) to change what it does.
name defaults to "world", so workflow run hello works on
its own.
Inputs
| Input | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|
name | string | "world" |
How It Runs
- Reads the input
name(defaults to"world"). - Runs one agent
<Task>whose prompt is.smithers/prompts/hello.mdx, withnameinterpolated into the Markdown via{props.name}. - Returns the agent’s greeting.
.smithers/prompts/hello.mdx (for example, ask for a
haiku instead of a greeting) and re-running.
Output Shape
hello returns the single task’s text output (the generated greeting). The run
log records the agent invocation and its result.
Use it when
- You are learning Smithers and want the smallest end-to-end run.
- You are scaffolding a new workflow and want a known-good single-task template to grow from.
Use something else when
- You need research, planning, and a validated implementation: use
implementorresearch-plan-implement. - You want to author a brand-new workflow interactively: use
create-workflow.
Resume & retry
Runs are durable and resume withup --resume. hello is a single task, so a
resume simply re-runs that task if it had not completed.
