SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? AI pilot projects often stall in "pilot purgatory" — orphan chatbots and demos with no owner, no baseline, and no measurable economic outcome. This Skill enforces a gate that blocks such pilots before they consume engineering time. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Completion-Loop Enforcement: Requires every workflow to define Trigger, Context, Decision, Action, Verification, and Audit stages before any UI is built. - Economic Gating: Blocks pilots lacking an owner, baseline value, economic metric, and system-of-record integration, and rejects interest or usage stats as ROI claims. - Deterministic Gate Script: Runs scripts/workflow_economics_gate.py --json to produce a machine-readable verdict on whether a workflow is production-ready. - Use Case: Before approving a new AI release-ops assistant, run the gate to confirm it has a named owner, a measured baseline cycle time, an automation-rate metric, and an audit trail in the system of record. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to evaluate your proposed AI workflow against the workflow economics gate and report which completion-loop stages or economic metrics are missing.

Frequently Asked Questions about workflow-economics-lite

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate an AI workflow before production?▼

Run python3 scripts/workflow_economics_gate.py --json to check the workflow against the economics gate. It verifies an owner, baseline value, economic metric, system-of-record integration, and a complete six-stage completion loop.

What is a completion loop in AI workflow design?▼

A completion loop is the sequence Trigger, Context, Decision, Action, Verification, and Audit. The Skill blocks any workflow missing one of these six stages, since incomplete loops cannot be measured or audited.

Why does the gate block my AI pilot project?▼

The gate returns block_orphan_pilot when the pilot lacks an owner, baseline value, economic metric, or system-of-record integration. Add all four attributes and rerun the script to pass.

Can usage or demo interest count as ROI for an AI workflow?▼

No. The gate raises block_interest_not_roi when a pilot cites usage or demo interest as value. Replace it with measurable metrics such as cycle time reduction, automation rate, or WQTU.

What are the limitations of this workflow gating approach?▼

The gate enforces structural and economic prerequisites but does not measure actual model quality or business outcomes. It works best for high-volume digital workflows already tracked in a system of record, not exploratory research prototypes.
