A Builder workflow, also called a playbook, is a reusable instruction template. It can include variable tokens such as company_name or output_file so the same procedure can run with new inputs.
Current workflow fields
- name and description,
- instruction template,
- variable definitions,
- optional trigger phrase,
- optional default status,
- status: draft, active or inactive.
New workflows are created as drafts. A draft is not runnable. Activate it only after reviewing the template, variables and available tools.
Tool validation
Before a workflow uses tool steps, inspect the current worker configuration. A workflow should not name an action that the worker cannot actually perform.
Good template shape
- Define the input variables.
- State the outcome and required format.
- List bounded steps.
- Name approval points.
- State what to do when data or permission is missing.
- State where the result should be left for review.
Activation is a release decision. A human owner should know which version was tested and what evidence supported activation.
