Workflows
A workflow is a named procedure you have written down once so you can later dispatch it without re-deriving the steps. Dispatching a workflow turns it into your active todo checklist for a specific task.
Use this skill when you (a) repeatedly perform the same multi-step procedure and notice yourself skipping steps mid-execution, or (b) the user describes a recurring process that should not drift over time.
When to author a workflow
Author with create_workflow when:
- The same multi-step procedure appears in several conversations
- Skipping a single step typically causes a regression (e.g., "always run the type-check before declaring done", "always announce completion in the briefing channel")
- The decision points in the procedure are stable enough that a model can specialise them to a fresh task
Do not author one-off plans this way — todo_write is the right tool for a single task's checklist.
When to dispatch a workflow
Call run_workflow("<name>", "<task description>") when you are about to begin work that fits one of your authored workflows. Dispatch replaces your current todo list, so only call it when you are starting fresh — not partway through unrelated work.
