create-workflow

You can formalize recurring patterns into trackable workflows by defining a structured process with a clear ID, frontmatter metadata, and YAML-based step definitions. This standardizes automation for common AI-assisted development tasks.

You should create a new workflow when you identify repetitive patterns in your AI-assisted development tasks that need standardization. This process provides guidance on trigger definition and structured workflow creation to document best practices.

You start a new workflow by running the command `kspec workflow start @create-workflow`. This initiates the structured creation process, generating frontmatter metadata and YAML-based step definitions.

Yes, the structured workflow creation integrates with kspec tooling such as `kspec meta add workflow`. It uses YAML-based step definitions and supports optional resource directories to manage the process.

The best way to design structured steps is using YAML-based step definitions within a formalized workflow. This approach applies to pattern discovery, trigger definition, and step design across your AI-assisted development tasks.

Yes, YAML-based step definitions are the core format used to create structured workflows. Combined with frontmatter metadata and a clear process ID, they enable standardized automation of common processes.
