# Design Workflows Through Focused Interviews

Vague recurring tasks are difficult to delegate or automate. This skill asks focused questions and produces implementation-ready workflow specifications in your workspace.

## Capabilities

- Conducts a stateful interview with one focused question at a time.
- Attaches a recommended answer to each interview question.
- Identifies recurring activities that may benefit from delegation.
- Creates, updates, and deletes Markdown workflow specifications.
- Records workspace terminology and operating context in NOTES.md.
- Continues until the specification has no unresolved implementation questions.

## Use Cases

- Specify Operations Intake: Define triggers, processing steps, checkpoints, briefs, and completion criteria for a recurring intake process.
- Document Personal Routines: Turn a repeated weekly activity into a clear specification that another person or agent can follow.
- Prepare Automation Requirements: Resolve business rules and human decisions before implementing an automated workflow.

## Prompt Templates

### Describe One Routine

```
Interview me about my weekly status-report process and create a complete workflow specification.
```

### Discover a Workflow

```
Find a recurring task in my notes that is worth delegating, then interview me and write its workflow specification.
```

### Define Checkpoints

```
Design an event-triggered customer feedback workflow. Define inputs, checkpoints, briefs, failure handling, and completion criteria through focused questions.
```

### Coordinate Related Workflows

```
Analyze my related support loops. Propose coordinated workflows, minimize checkpoints, document shared terminology, and resolve every implementation question before finalizing.
```

## Limitations

- Depends on a /grilling session that this package does not define.
- Produces workflow specifications, not working workflow implementations.
- Expects workflows/\*.md and NOTES.md conventions in the current workspace.
- May delete existing specifications as decisions change.

## Best Practices

- Answer each question with concrete examples, owners, inputs, and expected outcomes.
- Keep workspace notes current so terminology remains consistent across specifications.
- Review proposed deletions and use version control before changing existing specifications.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not request implementation when you only need a workflow specification.
- Do not add schedules, artificial intelligence, or checkpoints without evidence that the workflow needs them.
- Do not accept unresolved terms or decisions in a final specification.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-23T19:04:33.187\+00:00
- Summary: The four external-command alerts are false positives caused by Markdown code spans and a slash-command reference. The skill can delete workflow specifications without explicit confirmation, creating a moderate workspace data-loss risk.
