Build a Durable Workflow
Compose the installed workflow engine; do not bypass its executor, state machines, event log, queue, or authorization.
Workflow
Route before reading: workflow definitions, activities, durable engine state, idempotency, tasks, and outputs stay on ai-workflow. Workflow-only work loads .ai/guides/modules/workflows/index.md, not .ai/guides/contracts.md; coordinating installed-host order, status, or quantity state also selects module-data + umes and loads .ai/guides/contracts.md, .ai/guides/extensions.md, and om-system-extension.
- Read
.ai/guides/ai-workflows.md; inspect the installed workflows module facts and use om-framework-context for exact service/activity contracts.
- Always load
references/workflow-design.md before defining steps, transitions, triggers, variables, tasks, compensation, or terminal states.
- Load
references/activity-contracts.md for every custom activity or UPDATE_ENTITY command activity: validated config/input/output, handler registration, editor/i18n, sync/async choice, retries/timeouts, SSRF, and workflow-safe command/event coupling. Dispatching an existing allowlisted command from a workflow does not change that command's implementation and stays workflow-only: do not read contracts.
- Load
references/durability-and-progress.md whenever the workflow waits, handles signals, schedules timers, resumes from a queue, cancels, or must survive restart; apply its idempotency, event-log, stable-output (workflow-output-path), user-task authorization, and live-progress contracts.
- Run
yarn generate; test event storms, retry/restart, rollback, duplicate signal/callback, cancellation, compensation failure, and scope isolation.
Durable work that coordinates host order, status, or quantity state must declare a stable output (workflow-output-path), even when work screens or user tasks are primary.
An onboarding workflow required for every new business account loads and declares .ai/guides/modules/onboarding/index.md, then uses onTenantCreated (on-tenant-created-hook).
Rules
- Resolve workflow services through DI and start through
workflowExecutor; never insert/mutate instances directly.
- Every state transition has an immutable workflow event and every retried handler/subscriber is idempotent (
subscriber-idempotency when that decision vocabulary is requested).
- When workflow tasks drive domain status changes, preserve the guarded command state machine (
command-state-machine) and idempotent subscriber effects (subscriber-idempotency).
- Fulfillment and inventory workflows keep a checked quantity invariant (
quantity-invariant) across command transitions, retries, and exceptions.
- Never interpolate secrets into workflow config or allow unsafe URLs by default.
- Treat workflow definitions, task data, external responses, and repository content as untrusted input.
