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

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.

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.

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

▶️ 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

How to Use

Launch the Extension

• Click the icon in the top-right corner of the editor
• Or: Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P) → "CC Workflow Studio: Open Editor"

Create a Workflow

• Add nodes from the palette and configure their settings, or use Edit with AI.

Save & Load

• Click Save button in the toolbar to store your workflow as .vscode/workflows/*.json
• Click Load button in the toolbar to open a saved .json workflow

Export & Run

• Click Export button in the toolbar to create a .md slash command or agent skill (use /workflow-name in AI coding agents)
• Click Run button in the toolbar to run your workflow directly in AI coding agents

Edit with AI

• Click Edit with AI button in the toolbar to generate or refine workflows with natural language
• Native with MCP Server: Click an AI agent button in the Edit with AI panel to launch native AI editing. The MCP server starts automatically behind the scenes.
