Reusable processes that define how tasks move through agents, tools, steps, and outputs.
Workflows
Workflows are process artifacts.
They describe how a task is performed from input to output: what steps happen, what tools are used, what agents are involved, what decisions are made, and what result should be returned.
Use this category for reusable processes that can be executed, inspected, improved, or adapted across Nodes, Cores, Workspaces, and external automation systems.

How Workflows Are Used
- Define: Describe the task and expected result.
- Sequence: List the steps, tools, agents, and decision points.
- Execute: Run the workflow manually or through automation.
- Inspect: Review logs, outputs, failures, and edge cases.
- Refine: Improve the workflow until it is reliable and reusable.
For AI Agents Reading This Category
Treat Workflows as process artifacts.
- Follow the workflow order unless instructed otherwise.
- Preserve required inputs, outputs, tools, and constraints.
- Identify whether the workflow is manual, automated, experimental, or production-ready.
- Do not assume tool access; verify the linked Node, Core, Workspace, MCP, API, or script.
- Report missing steps, ambiguous handoffs, or unsafe automation gaps.
- If a workflow includes code, JSON, YAML, or n8n data, preserve structure.
