Alfred Workflow Creator (Claude Skill)

A Claude Code skill for generating minimalist Alfred workflows with no external dependencies.

What It Does

Describe what you want your Alfred workflow to do in plain English, and Claude will:

1. Write a Python script implementing your logic (stdlib only, no pip)
2. Package it as a ready-to-install .alfredworkflow file

Requirements

• Alfred with Powerpack
• Python 3 (pre-installed on macOS)
• Claude Code

Usage

In Claude Code, run:

/alfred-workflow

For example, the redit example added in examples i run the next command in Claude

/alfred-workflow create a workflow invoked with rai to load https://www.reddit.com/r/artificial/ and show latest posts clickable to the posts

Claude will ask for:

Field	Example
Icon path	/path/to/icon.png or none
Developer name	Jane Doe
Bundle ID	com.janedoe.github-repos
Package name	github-repos
Keyword	g
Workflow title	GitHub Repos
Workflow subtitle	Browse your recently updated repos
Logic description	Plain-English description of what the script should do

Then it writes the script, builds the package, and gives you a .alfredworkflow file to double-click and install.

How It Works

• .claude/commands/alfred-workflow.md — the skill prompt Claude follows
• build_workflow.py — assembles info.plist, bundles the script and icon, and zips everything into a .alfredworkflow file

The generated workflow uses a Script Filter → Open URL pattern: the Python script outputs Alfred JSON items, and selecting one opens its URL in the browser.
