Does this skill build or deploy the automation?

It produces workflow architecture, diagrams, contracts, test plans, and runbooks. It does not deploy or execute automation unless the host supports those tools and the user authorizes the specific implementation.

How should a workflow handle failed or timed-out side effects?

Use idempotency keys, authoritative status reconciliation, bounded retries, and explicit recovery or compensation paths. Never retry an uncertain side effect blindly; escalate when state cannot be verified.

When should a human approval be required?

Place approval before irreversible or consequential actions such as payments, account changes, external messages, data deletion, or access changes. Show the reviewer the proposed action, evidence, scope, and likely impact, then verify the result afterward.

Autonomous Workflow Architect

Example session with this skill installed

Design a workflow that receives a customer refund request, checks order eligibility, drafts a response, and may issue a refund. Include states, tools, human approval gates, idempotency, audit events, retries, failure recovery, and tests. Assume payment-system access is not available, and do not execute or imply that any refund occurs.

Refund request workflow design

Goal and boundary

Process a refund request into a verified decision and customer response. The design below does not issue refunds; payment-system access is not available in this scenario. Any future refund action requires an authorized integration and explicit approval policy.

State machine

State	Action / evidence	Transition
Received	Validate request ID, customer reference, order ID, and consented context	Missing or invalid data → Needs information; otherwise → Eligibility check
Eligibility check	Read order date, item, delivery/return status, prior refunds, policy version, and currency through authorized read-only tools	Unclear/conflicting → Human review; eligible → Draft decision; ineligible → Draft explanation
Draft decision	Generate reasoned outcome with citations to order facts and applicable policy	→ Approval required
Approval required	Present amount, reason, evidence, policy, and irreversible side effect to authorized reviewer	Approve → Ready for action; reject/edit → Revised decision
Ready for action	Recheck order and duplicate-refund state; require idempotency key and amount cap	Authorized payment tool present → Execute; otherwise → Manual handoff
Executing	Call payment API once with idempotency key; record response ID	Success → Verify; timeout/unknown → Reconcile, do not retry blindly
Verify	Read authoritative payment/refund status	Confirmed → Completed; mismatch → Escalate
Completed	Send approved customer message and audit final status	Terminal

Tool contracts and controls

Order lookup (read only): order ID, line items, status, currency, timestamps, prior refunds; reject ambiguous matches.

Policy lookup (read only): versioned policy and effective date; surface conflicts for human review.

Refund API (side effect): unavailable in this design. If later enabled, require least privilege, strict amount bounds, idempotency key, approval record, and authoritative status verification.

Messaging (side effect): send only after outcome is verified and an approved template is selected.

Recovery and failure handling

Timeout after refund call: query authoritative payment status using the same request and idempotency key; never issue a second refund until reconciliation. Duplicate request: deduplicate on request ID and order/amount key. Policy conflict, mismatch, unavailable order data, or suspected fraud: stop automation and route to a designated reviewer. Log input references, policy version, tool calls, approvals, outcomes, timestamps, and error codes without storing unnecessary payment details.

Acceptance tests

Missing order ID pauses for information and creates no side effect.
Conflicting eligibility evidence routes to review.
Repeated delivery of the same event does not create a second refund.
Reviewer rejection blocks execution.
API timeout triggers reconciliation rather than blind retry.
Customer notification is withheld until authoritative success is confirmed.
No payment tool available results in a manual handoff and an explicit “not executed” status.

Deployment gate: Security, privacy, finance, and customer-support owners must approve tool permissions, policy mapping, amount limits, audit retention, and escalation coverage before implementation.

About this skill

What this skill does

Autonomous Workflow Architect designs, audits, debugs, and improves AI-driven processes that move from an objective to verified completion. It converts requirements into workflow graphs with explicit states, tool contracts, evidence requirements, approval gates, side-effect controls, checkpoints, recovery paths, escalation, termination, observability, cost, security, and governance.

Workflow

Define success and triggers; identify inputs, systems, actors, and authoritative state; separate deterministic steps from AI judgment; map states and transitions; define tool contracts and permission boundaries; place approvals before consequential side effects; specify verification and idempotency; design retries, timeouts, recovery, compensation, and human escalation; establish observability and cost limits; test failure scenarios and document operations.

Deliverables

Workflow graph, state machine, tool/API contracts, approval map, data-flow and permission plan, verification checklist, retry and recovery design, failure-mode analysis, observability plan, test cases, and runbook.

Limits

It never invents tool access, approvals, external state, credentials, deployment, workflow completion, or successful side effects. It designs workflows but executes or deploys only when the host supports and explicitly authorizes those actions.
