Build recipes with the
AI coding tools you already use

An open-source developer toolkit for building, validating, visualizing, and managing Workato recipes — designed for humans and coding agents alike.

From prompt to production

Four tools that replace the loop of guess, push, break, repeat.

Install the toolkit

Four steps, each using a command you already know. No install scripts, no ambient dependencies, no magic.

1

Install the CLI

A unified CLI for Workato platform operations and recipe development. Single binary, no dependencies.

$ brew install workato-devs/tap/wk
$ wk version
> scoop bucket add workato-devs https://github.com/workato-devs/scoop-bucket
> scoop install wk
> wk version
# Download and extract the binary for your platform from Releases, then:
$ xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/wk
$ sudo mv /path/to/wk /usr/local/bin/
$ wk version

Tip: Right-click the extracted binary in Finder and hold Option to copy its full path.

2

Install the recipe linter

Deterministic validation — catches errors that agent self-validation misses.

$ brew install workato-devs/tap/recipe-lint
$ wk plugins install recipe-lint
> scoop install recipe-lint
> wk plugins install recipe-lint
# Download and extract the archive for your platform from Releases.
# The binary inside is named recipe-lint (not wk-lint).
$ sudo mv /path/to/extracted-folder /usr/local/lib/recipe-lint
$ sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /usr/local/lib/recipe-lint
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/recipe-lint/recipe-lint /usr/local/bin/recipe-lint
$ wk plugins install recipe-lint
$ which recipe-lint

Tip: Right-click the extracted binary in Finder and hold Option to copy its full path.

Clone the recipe skills

Agent-consumable knowledge for recipe authoring — connector config, datapill syntax, control flow, schemas. Also where connector-specific lint rules live. Point your coding agent here.

$ git clone https://github.com/workato-devs/recipe-skills.git
4

Install the recipe visualizer

IDE extension that renders recipe JSON as interactive workflow graphs. Works in VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf.

# Download the .vsix from this repo's downloads folder, then:
$ code --install-extension ./recipe-visualizer-0.5.3.vsix

# Or for Cursor:
$ cursor --install-extension ./recipe-visualizer-0.5.3.vsix

What's in the box

Four tools, one workflow

Each tool covers a piece of the developer lifecycle. Together, they replace manual recipe wrangling with an agent-native development flow.

⌘

wk CLI

Go

A unified CLI for Workato platform operations and recipe development. wk pull, wk push, wk diff, and wk status across workspaces. Plugin system for extending with custom commands.

✓

Recipe Linter

Go

Deterministic validation compiled into wk lint. Catches datapill syntax errors, schema mismatches, and structural issues that agents can't self-validate.

✎

Recipe Skills

7 connectors

Agent-consumable knowledge for recipe authoring. Connector config, datapill syntax, control flow, error handling. Also home to connector-specific lint rules. Point your coding agent at the skills directory.

Recipe Visualizer

.vsix

IDE extension rendering recipe JSON as interactive workflow graphs. Click a node, navigate to the source. Export graphs as images. VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf.
