To create a valid YAML workflow definition for OTTO, you need an interactive guide that enforces the V1 schema, ensuring unique step IDs, acyclic graphs, and proper parameter substitution. This skill provides conversational guidance to build workflows from scratch or templates while applying the engine's rules.

OTTO workflow constraints include unique step IDs, acyclic dependency graphs, safe path handling for produces and iterate, and correct parameter substitution. The workflow validation enforces these rules to ensure your YAML definition integrates correctly with the V1 engine schema.

Iterate and context_from are common patterns in YAML workflow definitions used for parameterized execution and data passing. The skill demonstrates these patterns with real-world examples, showing how to properly handle iteration paths and context substitution within your workflow steps.

Yes, you can build OTTO workflows from templates or from scratch. The skill provides interactive guidance for both approaches, helping you apply the engine's rules to template-based definitions while ensuring proper verification, parameter handling, and output location guidance.

OTTO workflow YAML fails validation when step dependencies form cycles, violating the acyclic graph constraint. The skill enforces acyclicity during workflow creation, guiding you to structure step IDs and dependencies so they never create circular references in the execution graph.
