4 source-grounded skills. Load one workflow at a time.
Specify an Automation Workflow
Use this workflow when specifying a production automation or bounded agent workflow with contracts, durable state, idempotent side effects, retries, queues, permissions, stop conditions, observability, replay, evaluation, security, and launch controls.
Output Return an automationworkflowspec with scope, boundary, contracts, states, idempotency, retries, queues, modeljobs, agentpermissions, review, observability, security, failurecontrols, evaluation, launchmode, owner, and retirementtrigger.
Scan an Automation Opportunity
Use this workflow when decomposing a workflow into deterministic, probabilistic, and accountable steps so operators can decide what code, a model, or a human should own before choosing tools or building automation.
Output Return an automationboundarymap with workflow, trigger, finalstate, steps, worktype, owner, reason, inputs, outputs, risk, reversibility, controls, prefilters, exceptions, recommendation, and prerequisites.
Build an Automation ROI Brief
Use this workflow when deciding whether an automation workflow is economically and operationally worth building by comparing baseline labor and failure costs with deterministic coverage, model cost and latency, review load, maintenance, risk exposure, and staged benefits.
Output Return an automationroibrief with baseline, architecturemix, costmodel, benefitmodel, scenarios, riskadjustments, capacity, latency, proofstage, stopcondition, decision, and sensitivitydrivers.
Design Human Review in Automation
Use this workflow when designing selective human review for an automation workflow, including trigger reasons, evidence-rich queue items, decisions, service levels, correction capture, sampling, escalation, and feedback into rules and evaluations.
Output Return a humanreviewdesign with triggers, decisionoptions, queueschema, reviewers, sla, backlogcontrols, escalation, correctiontaxonomy, sampling, metrics, and feedbackloop.
Human review
Keep consequential decisions explicit.
These workflows structure analysis and artifacts; they do not authorize autonomous external, personnel, financial, legal, security, or other high-impact action.
