SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the tight-coupling problem between workflow definitions and business logic, allowing developers to model runtime actions as declarative references that are safely executed by a centralized handler registry.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Declarative Workflow Modeling: Keeps workflow JSON clean by using stable type keys and serializable parameters instead of embedding executable code.
  • Centralized Handler Registry: Provides a single source of truth for discovering available action types, parameter schemas, and execution logic.
  • Use Case: When building a multi-tenant application like Umbraco Prism, use this pattern to allow workflow authors to configure actions (like sending notifications or triggering external integrations) without needing to modify the core engine or hard-code logic.

Quick Start

Use the workflow-action-handler-registry skill to define a new declarative action type and register its corresponding C# handler in the business application.

FAQPage Schema
How do I decouple workflow logic from execution in a backend application?

To decouple workflow logic from execution, you can use a declarative registry pattern that models runtime actions as stable type keys and serializable parameters, keeping executable code out of your workflow definitions.

What is a centralized handler registry for workflow orchestration?

A centralized handler registry is a single source of truth for discovering available workflow action types, parameter schemas, and execution logic, allowing safe configuration of side effects without modifying the core engine.

How do I configure external integrations in a workflow engine without hard-coding logic?

You can configure external integrations by defining declarative action types in your workflow JSON, which are then safely executed by registered C# handlers in the business application, preventing tight-coupling.

Does the declarative workflow registry pattern support type-safe parameter validation?

Yes, the declarative workflow registry pattern ensures type-safe parameter validation and discovery for complex business processes, providing modular extensibility for multi-tenant applications.

When should I use a declarative registry pattern for workflow architecture?

You should use a declarative registry pattern when building complex multi-tenant applications where workflow authors need to configure actions like notifications or integrations independently from the core engine.

Why does embedding executable code in workflow definitions cause tight-coupling problems?

Embedding executable code causes tight-coupling because it binds workflow definitions directly to business logic, preventing modular extensibility and making safe side-effect configuration difficult without a handler registry.
