The seven-part spec
- JOB: what is the recurring work?
- TRIGGER: when should it happen?
- INPUT: what information is required?
- PROCESS: what steps should AI follow?
- OUTPUT: what does good look like?
- GUARDRAILS: what should AI never do?
- ESCALATION: when does a human take over?
Why most AI workflows fail
They skip OUTPUT and GUARDRAILS. Without a definition of good you cannot tell whether the workflow worked. Without guardrails you eventually ship something embarrassing.
