Workflow Structure

name: example-workflow
steps:
  - name: analyze
    agent: researcher
    task: "Analyze requirements"
  - name: implement
    agent: coder
    depends: [analyze]
    task: "Implement solution"
  - name: test
    agent: tester
    depends: [implement]
    task: "Write and run tests"

Best Practices

1. Define clear step dependencies
2. Use appropriate agent types per step
3. Include validation gates
4. Export workflows for reuse
