These are required patterns that prevent bugs, ensure consistency, and maintain code quality.
Use gold-standards when asking about best practices, standards, gold standards, mandatory rules, required patterns, absolute imports, testing policy, error handling standards, security best practices, documentation standards, or workflow design standards. Covers absolute imports, parameter passing, error handling, Tier 2/3 testing with real infrastructure (NO mocking per rules/testing.md), workflow design, custom node development, security, documentation, and test creation.
from kailash.workflow.builder import WorkflowBuilder (not from ..workflow import builder)workflow.add_connection(source_id, source_param, target_id, target_param)results["node_id"]["result"] (not results["node_id"].result)execute(...) pattern that round-trips from workflow → node → engine → registry. See skill 34-kailash-ml for the exact contract. Release PRs block on this tier independently of unit/integration status.finally.build() before execute, string-based node API, single responsibilityAll workflow patterns follow the canonical 4-parameter pattern from /01-core-sdk.
| Standard | Correct | Wrong |
|---|---|---|
| Imports | from kailash.workflow.builder import WorkflowBuilder | from ..workflow.builder import WorkflowBuilder |
| Connections | workflow.add_connection("n1", "result", "n2", "input_data") | workflow.add_connection("n1", "n2") |
| Execution | runtime.execute(workflow.build()) | runtime.execute(workflow) |
| Results | results["node_id"]["result"] | results["node_id"].result |
| Secrets | os.environ["API_KEY"] | api_key = "sk-..." |
| Testing | Real DB in Tier 2-3 | Mock(spec=DataFlow) in Tier 2-3 |
| Errors | except WorkflowExecutionError as e: logger.error(...) | except: pass |
| Development | Write test first, then implement | Implement first, add tests later |

Use when asking about 'database operations', 'DataFlow', 'database models', 'CRUD operations', 'bulk operations', 'database queries', 'database migrations', 'multi-tenancy', 'multi-instance', 'database transactions', 'PostgreSQL', 'MySQL', 'SQLite', 'MongoDB', 'pgvector', 'vector search', 'document database', 'RAG', 'semantic search', 'existing database', 'database performance', 'database deployment', 'database testing', 'TDD with databases', 'external data sources', 'data products', 'db.source', 'db.product', 'db.start', 'fabric engine', 'source adapters', 'REST source', 'webhooks', or 'data fabric'. DataFlow is NOT an ORM - it generates 11 workflow nodes per SQL model, 8 nodes for MongoDB, and 3 nodes for vector operations.

Use when asking about 'Nexus', 'multi-channel', 'platform deployment', 'API deployment', 'CLI deployment', 'MCP deployment', 'unified sessions', 'workflow deployment', 'production deployment', 'API gateway', 'session management', 'health monitoring', 'enterprise platform', 'plugins', 'event system', or 'workflow registration'. Also covers K8s integration: 'K8s probes', 'healthz', 'readyz', 'startup probe', 'ProbeManager', 'ProbeState', 'OpenAPI', 'openapi.json', 'OpenApiGenerator', 'security headers', 'CSRF middleware', 'CSRFMiddleware', 'SecurityHeadersMiddleware', 'middleware presets', 'Preset', or 'HSTS'.
