WORKFLOWS

A workflow is more than a longer prompt.

Map the inputs, steps, permissions, and checkpoints that connect a question to an outcome.

Start with a small, repeatable task

Take meeting follow-up. The inputs are notes. The desired output might be a reviewed task list and an approved client-update draft. Keeping that scope small makes it possible to inspect the work.

Draw the sequence

Read the permitted notes. Extract decisions and potential actions. Flag missing owners and dates. Prepare a draft. Ask a person to review it. Only then make approved changes to a task system.

Give each step a boundary

Reading the notes requires one kind of permission. Adding a task requires another. Sending an update requires another still. Do not treat access to one tool as permission to do anything in it.

Define failure as well as success

What should happen if the notes are empty, a tool is unavailable, or a deadline conflicts with another record? A sensible workflow stops and reports the issue instead of filling the gap with a confident guess.

Verify the actual result

After an approved action, check the destination. Confirm that the task exists with the intended title, owner, and date. A statement that an action succeeded is not the same as inspecting its result.
