FAQPage Schema
How do I automate workflow selection and team formation for AI-enabled SDLC tasks?▼

Automating workflow selection and team formation involves generating a .archon/workflows YAML file with corresponding command prompts, team manifests, and validation steps to ensure governance. This skill recommends existing templates or authors new workflows based on your task description.

What is the best way to generate a workflow YAML with validation rules for AI-driven development?▼

Generating a workflow YAML with validation rules requires authoring a schema-compliant file that includes nodes, prompts, and governance checks. This skill automates that creation process while preventing overwrites to maintain configuration integrity.

Can I use an existing workflow template and map teams to nodes for my software development lifecycle?▼

Yes, you can map teams to nodes using existing workflow templates. This skill analyzes your task description and recommends an appropriate template, then generates the companion team manifests needed to streamline execution and audits.

Does this workflow authoring process prevent overwrites and ensure schema conformance?▼

Yes, the workflow authoring process prevents overwrites and ensures schema conformance. It validates generated YAML files against required schemas to maintain governance and configuration stability across your AI-enabled SDLC.

When do I need to author a brand-new workflow YAML instead of using a recommended existing one?▼

You need to author a brand-new workflow YAML when existing templates do not satisfy your specific task requirements. This skill helps you design new workflows with custom prompts, nodes, and validation rules to enforce governance from scratch.
