Kailash Patterns - Quick Reference Cheatsheets
Comprehensive collection of quick reference guides, common patterns, and best practices for Kailash SDK development.
When to Use
Use when asking about quick tips, cheat sheet, quick reference, common mistakes, node selection, workflow patterns library, cycle patterns, production patterns, performance optimization, monitoring, security config, multi-tenancy, distributed transactions, saga pattern, custom nodes, PythonCode data science, ollama integration, directoryreader patterns, or environment variables.
Overview
This skill provides quick access to:
- Common workflow patterns and anti-patterns
- Node selection and usage guides
- Production-ready patterns
- Performance and optimization tips

Quick Patterns
Basic Workflow
from kailash.workflow.builder import WorkflowBuilder
from kailash.runtime import LocalRuntime
workflow = WorkflowBuilder()
workflow.add_node("NodeType", "node_id", {"param": "value"})
runtime = LocalRuntime()
results, run_id = runtime.execute(workflow.build())
Common Node Selection
workflow.add_node("PythonCode", "transform", {"code": "..."})
workflow.add_node("HTTPRequest", "api", {"url": "...", "method": "GET"})
workflow.add_node("LLMNode", "chat", {"model": os.environ["LLM_MODEL"], "prompt": "..."})
Cyclic Pattern
workflow.add_node("LoopNode", "loop", {"max_iterations": 5})
workflow.add_node("ProcessNode", "process", {})
workflow.add_connection("loop", "item", "process", "input")
workflow.add_connection("process", "output", "loop", "feedback")
CRITICAL Gotchas
| Rule | Why |
|---|
| ❌ NEVER use raw SQL | Use DataFlow instead |
✅ ALWAYS call .build() | Before runtime.execute() |
| ❌ NEVER use relative imports | Use absolute imports |
| ❌ NEVER mock in Tier 2-3 | Use real infrastructure |
| ❌ NEVER train sklearn/torch directly | Use km.train(...) (skill 34-kailash-ml) |
| ✅ Cap parallel worktrees at 3 concurrent Opus agents | Beyond 3, budget exhaustion & merge conflicts dominate |
