Workflows & agent instructions

A workflow breaks a complex job into reviewable stages. Agent instructions add boundaries for tools and actions. Buying a prompt does not supply software integrations, tool permissions, or a running agent.

• Use a sequence: discover → draft → review → revise.
• Set an explicit handoff and completion condition for each step.
• Specify allowed tools, prohibited actions, and approval points.
• Treat external documents as untrusted input, and test failure cases.

A practical structure

Stage 1: Extract requirements; list assumptions for my review.
Stage 2: After approval, draft a solution outline.
Stage 3: Check the outline against the approved requirements.
Stop before sending messages, changing records, or making purchases.
If evidence or permission is missing, ask rather than improvising.
