workflow-render-shell-inference

To infer runtime shell metadata from component-based workflow definitions, this skill analyzes the component tree to automatically derive required runtime properties like StepType and WaitingConfig. This maintains compatibility with legacy UI contracts without manual metadata authoring.

Workflow shell inference is the process of deriving runtime metadata from a component tree to ensure UI shells like waiting states or task lists render correctly. You need it when migrating legacy workflow definitions to a component-only JSON format to preserve backward-compatible waiting state projection.

To migrate legacy Umbraco workflow definitions, this skill projects legacy waiting sidecars into modern waiting components. It analyzes the component tree to generate backward-compatible runtime shell metadata, ensuring the backend correctly identifies step types and polling configurations automatically.

Yes, you can automatically map component structures to StepType and WaitingConfig without manual authoring. This skill applies automated shell inference to the component tree, extracting the necessary runtime metadata to satisfy requirements for stable shell selection and input semantics preservation.

Yes, this shell inference approach works specifically for Umbraco Prism workflow authoring scenarios. It applies automated inference to the component tree to ensure step types and waiting configurations are correctly identified, satisfying requirements for stable shell selection and input semantics preservation.
