def main(wf):
    # The Workflow object runs your script
    wf.add_item('Item 1', 'Description 1', icon=ICON_WEB)
    wf.send_feedback()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    wf = Workflow()

The alfred-workflow repository provides a Python-based framework for creating Alfred workflows, offering a more structured and feature-rich approach. It includes built-in error logging, caching, and update mechanisms. The alfred-workflows repository, on the other hand, offers a collection of pre-made workflows and a PHP-based helper class for workflow development. While alfred-workflows may be easier for beginners to get started with, alfred-workflow provides more flexibility and power for complex workflow creation.

Package Managers (Download)

by @willfarrell

Quick package/plugin/component (repo) lookup of for your favourite package managers. Currently supports Alcatraz, bower, CocoaDocs/CocoaPods, Composer, docker, Grunt, Homebrew, Maven, npm, pear, pypi, gems, and rpm. All workflows require constant internet connection.

All repos have caching enabled to speed up common queries. These caches are refreshed after 14 days and may take longer then expected to return results during update. You can force a cache refresh by running pkgman cachedb to redownload the databases (applies to alcatraz, grunt, cocoa). Alternatively you can run pkgman cleardb to remove all stored cache, but this isn't recommended.
