+## When to Use Scripts vs Workflows
+
+- **Scripts** — handle logic/flow that is completely fixed. When the steps are predictable and always the same, encode them in a script.
+- **Workflows** — handle flexible situations semantically. When context matters, decisions are needed, or the process is nuanced, describe it in a workflow document.
+
 ## Script Hint
 
 When a script needs to behave differently based on the calling agent, use these environment variables:

+## When to Make a Skill vs a Workflow
+
+**Make a skill with scripts** when:
+- The steps are fixed, results are predictable
+- The operation recurs across different agents/workspaces
+- Involves external system calls (git, keycloak, file ops, etc.)
+
+**Make a workflow** when:
+- Steps vary depending on context — workflows describe the process semantically, handling flexible situations
+- The situation is too nuanced for rigid logic
+
+**Not worth abstracting:**
+- One-off task
+- Purely conversational/analytical work

+Based on the criteria above, determine whether this should be a skill (with scripts) or a standalone workflow within an existing skill.
