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

# Data processing
workflow.add_node("PythonCode", "transform", {"code": "..."})

# API calls
workflow.add_node("HTTPRequest", "api", {"url": "...", "method": "GET"})

# AI/LLM
workflow.add_node("LLMNode", "chat", {"model": "gpt-4", "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
