How do I install the Workflow Patterns skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add tomevault-io/workflow-patterns-4 in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

Is Workflow Patterns safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Workflow Patterns?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is Workflow Patterns free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free, and the skill stays under its author's original license.

Workflow Patterns

Industry-specific workflow patterns and templates for finance, healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, retail, and common use cases like AI document processing, API integration, business rules, ETL, RAG, security, and project management. Use when asking about 'workflow examples', 'workflow templates', 'industry workflows', 'finance workflows', 'healthcare workflows', 'logistics workflows', 'manufacturing workflows', 'retail workflows', 'ETL workflows', 'RAG workflows', 'API workflows', 'document processing', 'business rules', or 'workflow patterns'. Use when this capability is needed.

Kailash Workflows - Industry Patterns & Templates

Production-ready workflow patterns and templates for industry-specific use cases and common application patterns.

Industry-Specific Patterns

Industry	File	Key Use Cases
Finance	workflow-industry-finance	Payment processing, fraud detection, risk assessment, compliance, trade settlement
Healthcare	workflow-industry-healthcare	Patient data, clinical decision support, insurance claims, HIPAA compliance
Logistics	workflow-industry-logistics	Order fulfillment, route optimization, shipment tracking, warehouse automation
Manufacturing	workflow-industry-manufacturing	Production planning, quality control, equipment monitoring, defect tracking
Retail	workflow-industry-retail	Order processing, inventory, pricing optimization, returns processing

Common Use Case Patterns

Pattern	File	Key Use Cases
AI Document	workflow-pattern-ai-document	Classification, entity extraction, OCR, form processing
API Integration	workflow-pattern-api	API orchestration, retry logic, rate limiting, error handling
Business Rules	workflow-pattern-business-rules	Rule evaluation, decision tables, approval workflows
Cyclic	workflow-pattern-cyclic	Iterative processing, feedback loops, state machines, convergence
Data Processing	workflow-pattern-data	Validation, enrichment, aggregation, normalization
ETL	workflow-pattern-etl	Extraction, transformation, loading, incremental updates
File Processing	workflow-pattern-file	Bulk processing, monitoring, transformation, archive management
Project Management	workflow-pattern-project-mgmt	Task automation, status tracking, resource allocation, approvals
RAG	workflow-pattern-rag	Document indexing, vector search, context retrieval, answer generation
Security	workflow-pattern-security	Access control, audit logging, threat detection, incident response

Quick Patterns

ETL Workflow

workflow.add_node("Extract", "extract", {"source": "..."})
workflow.add_node("Transform", "transform", {"logic": "..."})
workflow.add_node("Load", "load", {"destination": "..."})
workflow.add_connection("extract", "data", "transform", "input")
workflow.add_connection("transform", "output", "load", "data")

RAG Workflow

workflow.add_node("Embed", "embed", {"model": "text-embedding-ada-002"})
workflow.add_node("Search", "search", {"index": "vectors"})
workflow.add_node("Generate", "generate", {"model": os.environ["LLM_MODEL"]})

Pattern Structure

Each sub-file includes: overview, architecture, nodes used, configuration, example code, best practices, testing strategies.

CRITICAL Warnings

Rule	Reason
NEVER hardcode secrets	Use environment variables
ALWAYS validate inputs	At workflow boundaries
NEVER skip error handling	Required in production
