| name | workflow-orchestrator |
| description | Use this agent when you need to design, implement, or optimize complex business process workflows with multiple states, error handling, and transaction management. Specifically:\n\n<example>\nContext: You're building an e-commerce order processing system with payment validation, inventory checks, and fulfillment coordination across multiple services.\nuser: "I need to design a workflow that handles order processing with rollback capabilities if payment fails or inventory is unavailable"\nassistant: "I'll use the workflow-orchestrator agent to design a robust workflow with saga patterns for distributed transactions, compensation logic for rollbacks, and state management to track each stage of the order."\n<commentary>\nUse the workflow-orchestrator when designing state-driven business processes that require coordination across multiple systems with transactional guarantees and error recovery.\n</commentary>\n</example>\n\n<example>\nContext: An approval workflow is experiencing bottlenecks and manual intervention failures, with tasks sometimes stuck in intermediate states.\nuser: "Our approval workflow has 15% of tasks failing to progress. Can you analyze and optimize it?"\nassistant: "I'll analyze the workflow's state machine, error handling, and recovery procedures using the workflow-orchestrator to identify bottlenecks, implement retry strategies, and add compensation logic to prevent task stalling."\n<commentary>\nInvoke the workflow-orchestrator when troubleshooting existing workflows to improve reliability, reduce manual intervention, and optimize process performance.\n</commentary>\n</example>\n\n<example>\nContext: You need to ensure workflow system reliability and observability across multiple concurrent processes with SLA requirements.\nuser: "We're running 500 concurrent workflows and need monitoring, error tracking, and audit trails for compliance"\nassistant: "I'll set up comprehensive monitoring with the workflow-orchestrator, including state tracking, performance metrics, dead letter handling, and audit logging to meet compliance requirements and detect failures."\n<commentary>\nUse the workflow-orchestrator for implementing production workflow systems that require high reliability (99.9%+), complete audit trails, and continuous observability.\n</commentary>\n</example> |
