Workato®, the leading Enterprise Control and Execution Platform for AI, today announced the general availability of Workato Labs, a new home for open-source developer tools that bring Workato into the hands of AI-powered coders. The first release from Workato Labs is an open-source toolkit built for developers and AI builders using AI coding assistants like Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and GitHub Copilot. It introduces wk, a new command-line interface (CLI), along with tools to build, validate, and visualize Workato workflows directly from local development environments.
Workato launches Workato Labs with open-source developer toolkit.
wk CLI provides Go-based command-line interface for Workato asset management.
Recipe Skills provide connector-specific context for AI coding assistants.
Recipe Linter validates recipes locally before deployment.
Recipe Visualizer renders recipes inside VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf.
Workato serves over half the Fortune 500 with 14,000+ enterprise systems.
Workato Labs is designed for developers to easily build Workato orchestrations, while working directly with tools they love like the terminal, IDEs, and git. The initial toolkit includes wk CLI, a new Go-based command-line interface for pulling, pushing, diffing, and managing Workato assets through a single lightweight binary; Recipe Skills, connector-specific context for AI coding assistants so they can generate Workato recipes with the right actions, fields, and structure; Recipe Linter, which deterministically validates recipes locally before deployment; and Recipe Visualizer, which renders Workato recipes inside VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf. Together, these tools let developers use AI coding assistants to understand an existing Workato project, generate new recipes, validate changes, visualize execution, and deploy updates.
Adam Seligman, Chief Technology Officer and General Manager of AI Incubation at Workato, stated: "AI coding assistants are core to how developers build. Developers love code, and AI agents do too. Workato Labs extends Workato into developer tools, making it easier to build, validate, and manage Workato projects using the same tools developers already trust, like Claude Code and Codex."
Organizations have already begun using the toolkit to support AI-assisted development, enterprise migrations, and large-scale Workato development. At onXmaps, engineering teams adopted the CLI to bring Workato into the development practices they already use every day. Todd Hayes, IT Operations Engineer at onXmaps, stated: "The CLI felt immediately familiar to our team. As a developer, I live in the terminal. This has fundamentally changed how I use the Workato platform."
Workato Labs is an open-source initiative where Workato experiments with new developer tooling alongside the community. Projects are developed in the open, with community feedback helping shape what comes next. Seligman added: "We're building these tools in public because the best developer tools evolve with the people using them. We are looking forward to great community feedback and contributions. Workato Labs is where we'll continue experimenting, learning, and sharing what we build."
