formula-authoring
SkillDev toolsLets your agent write TOML workflow templates that run as automated workflows in Gas Town.
Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.
No other account needed.
Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.
Then ask your AI: use the formula-authoring skill
About this capability
Author TOML-based Formula workflow templates that become Protomolecules and active Molecules in Gas Town's durable workflow system.
What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by a5c-ai/babysitter in library/methodologies/gastown/skills/formula-authoring/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
- Creating multi-step processes with variable binding
- Building workflows that must survive restarts
- When NDI (Nondeterministic Idempotence) is needed
Process
- Define formula steps and variables in TOML format
- Validate formula structure and dependencies
- Cook into protomolecule (resolve variables, freeze)
- Test by instantiating a trial molecule
- Register in the formula library for reuse
Formula Lifecycle
Formula (TOML template) -> Protomolecule (frozen) -> Molecule (active, durable)
Key Concepts
- Formula: TOML-based workflow template with variables
- Protomolecule: Frozen template ready to instantiate
- Molecule: Active durable workflow surviving restarts
- NDI: Nondeterministic Idempotence - useful outcomes from unreliable processes
