Prompt

We need to output the markdown document for workflow `market_synth` with run ID `run_4411`. What exact relative file path should the rendered result be written to?

What's inside

The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.

SKILL.md43 linessingle file

Show just the final output of an Output.ai workflow trace — the actual result, rendered as readable markdown.

The argument the user provided is either a workflow name (e.g. context_competitors) or a workflow run ID. If no argument is provided, use the most recent trace across all workflows.

Instructions

Find the trace JSON file:
- Trace files live in logs/runs/<workflow_name>/ as JSON files
- Filenames follow the pattern: <timestamp>_<workflow_id>.json
- If a workflow name is given, find the latest .json file in logs/runs/<workflow_name>/
- If a run ID is given, search across all logs/runs/*/ folders for a file containing that ID in its filename
- If no argument, find the most recently modified .json file across all logs/runs/*/ folders
Extract the output from the trace file. You only need output from the JSON root — skip children and input.

Strategy for large files (trace files can be 10k+ lines):
- First, try jq '.output' <file> to extract directly — this is the fastest path
- If jq is not available: read the last 500 lines of the file (the output field is at the root level, near the end of the JSON). Work backwards in chunks if needed
- Do NOT read the entire file from the top — the children array with step details can be thousands of lines and you don't need any of it
Save a markdown file to tmp/trace_result_<workflow_name>_<id>.md (create the tmp/ directory if it doesn't exist) with:

Header (brief)
- One line: workflow name, ID, duration
Result

Render output as clean, readable markdown:
- String fields that contain markdown → render directly
- Arrays of objects → render each as a sub-section with key fields
- Arrays of strings → numbered lists
- Nested objects → sub-sections with key-value pairs
- URLs → render as links
- Long text excerpts → render as blockquotes
The goal is a document you'd want to READ, not debug. Make it look good.
Tell the user the saved file path.

Important

This is a RESULT view — render for readability, not debugging
