CC Workflow Studio

You think visually. AI thinks in .md. CC Workflow Studio speaks both.

Design workflows on a canvas. Export as Markdown your AI agent already understands. No more prompt-guessing.

Supported Agents

Agent Export Format Requires
Claude Code .claude/agents/ .claude/commands/ Claude Code
GitHub Copilot Chat .github/prompts/ Copilot Chat
GitHub Copilot CLI .github/skills/ Copilot CLI
OpenAI Codex CLI .codex/skills/ Codex CLI
Zoo Code (formerly Roo Code) .roo/skills/ Zoo Code
Gemini CLI .gemini/skills/ Gemini CLI
Antigravity .agent/skills/ Antigravity
Cursor .cursor/agents/ .cursor/skills/ Cursor

Note: Agents other than Claude Code require activation from Toolbar's More menu.

Use it without VSCode, too

The VSCode extension is the most ergonomic editor, but it isn't the only entry point. The same workflow.json drives a CLI and an MCP server — pick whichever interface fits the situation.

CLI (ccwf) npx @cc-wf-studio/cli --help Terminal / CI / SSH / Codespaces — render, validate, preview, export, run a workflow without VSCode packages/cli
MCP server (ccwf-mcp) Add to your MCP client's .mcp.json so Claude Code (or any MCP client) can read and edit workflows over stdio Letting an external AI client read and edit your workflows through MCP tools packages/mcp

There is no "VSCode-only" path: a workflow you draw in the canvas is the same file ccwf preview will render in a browser, and the same file an external Claude Code can edit through MCP.

AI-Assisted Workflow Creation Demo - MCP Server-based Editing

✨ Edit with AI: AI agents (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, etc.) create workflows through natural language via MCP Server

Run Workflow Demo - Execute workflows directly from the editor

▶️ Run workflows directly from the editor – See your AI automation in action instantly

Key Features

🔀 Visual Workflow Editor - Intuitive drag-and-drop canvas for designing AI agent orchestrations without code

🤖 Agentic Engineering - Design multi-agent workflows with Sub-Agent orchestration, Agent Skills, and MCP tool integration — the building blocks of agentic engineering

✨ Edit with AI - Iteratively improve workflows through conversational AI - ask for changes, add features, or refine logic with natural language feedback

⚡ One-Click Export & Run - Export workflows to ready-to-use formats and run directly from the editor

What is this?CC Workflow Studio is a VSCode extension for visually designing AI agent workflows on a drag-and-drop canvas, then exporting them as Markdown that coding agents like Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Codex CLI can run directly.
Is this only a VSCode extension?No — the same workflow.json also works through a standalone CLI (ccwf) for terminal/CI/SSH use and an MCP server (ccwf-mcp) that lets an AI client like Claude Code read and edit the workflow over stdio.
Which coding agents can I export workflows to?Claude Code, GitHub Copilot Chat/CLI, OpenAI Codex CLI, Zoo Code (formerly Roo Code), Gemini CLI, Antigravity, and Cursor, each with its own export folder (e.g. .claude/agents/, .github/skills/, .codex/skills/).
Are tutorials or example workflows available?Not yet — the README says sample workflows and tutorials are still 'under development', and agents other than Claude Code need to be manually activated from the toolbar's More menu first.
What does the 'Edit with AI' button do?It opens a panel where you can refine a workflow through natural-language conversation; clicking an AI agent button launches native editing, with the MCP server starting automatically in the background.
What happens when I click Export?It converts the visual workflow into a ready-to-use .md slash command or agent skill file, which you can then invoke as /workflow-name in your AI coding agent.
What inspired CC Workflow Studio?The README credits React Flow for the canvas, says it's powered by Claude Code, and notes it was inspired by Dify.
What are similar projects?evenfire, 1code, paperclip, autoprompt-skill, ordewell, ruflo, claude-code, openrig
Which topics is it in?visual-programming, slash-commands, flowchart, mcp-tools, drag-and-drop, low-code, vscode-extension, github-copilot, workflow-automation, model-context-protocol, orchestration, agent-orchestration
