# what it does

Workflow planning, not workflow execution.

Local MCP stdio server

Connects to Claude over plain MCP stdio. No cloud, no hosting.

Structured workflow plans

Plain-English prompts become tools, steps, approvals, and safety notes.

Visual workflow graph

Inspect every plan as nodes and edges before you wire it up.

Exportable artifacts

Copy or download torqa.workflow.v1 JSON and a Claude-ready prompt.

Deterministic planner

No hidden LLM calls inside the planner — same prompt, same plan.

Validation built in

Flags missing tools, missing approval gates, and risky steps.

# how it works

Four steps from prompt to plan.

  1. 01

    Clone and run locally

    git clone, npm install, npm run mcp:server.

  2. 02

    Drop the torqa entry into claude_desktop_config.json.

  3. 03

    Ask Claude for a workflow

    Describe the automation in plain English.

  4. 04

    Inspect and export

    Open /builder, review the graph, copy the JSON.

# architecture

One process, one transport.
