Don't Vibe Code, Do Skele-Code: Interactive No-Code Notebooks for Subject Matter Experts to Build Lower-Cost Agentic Workflows

Skele-Code introduces a new approach for non-technical subject matter experts to build AI agent workflows efficiently and cost-effectively. By prioritizing code-first execution over agent-led orchestration, it significantly reduces token costs and improves system reliability.

Title:Don't Vibe Code, Do Skele-Code: Interactive No-Code Notebooks for Subject Matter Experts to Build Lower-Cost Agentic Workflows

View PDF HTML (experimental)Abstract:Skele-Code is a natural-language and graph-based interface for building workflows with AI agents, designed especially for less or non-technical users. It supports incremental, interactive notebook-style development, and each step is converted to code with a required set of functions and behavior to enable incremental building of workflows. Agents are invoked only for code generation and error recovery, not orchestration or task execution. This agent-supported, but code-first approach to workflows, along with the context-engineering used in Skele-Code, can help reduce token costs compared to the multi-agent system approach to executing workflows. Skele-Code produces modular, easily extensible, and shareable workflows. The generated workflows can also be used as skills by agents, or as steps in other workflows.
