Free Workflow Automation Recipes
Free workflow intent
This guide covers how to start workflow automation recipes with minimal tooling cost while maintaining decision quality.
What free mode should optimize
- Fast baseline generation.
- Clear ownership.
- Repeatable cadence.
Lock success criteria first so the workflow does not drift into generic documentation.
Free-mode guardrails
- Keep one segment in scope first.
- Track assumptions in plain text.
- Avoid heavy automation before stability.
Share the first baseline with stakeholders and confirm interpretation before scaling.
When to upgrade
Upgrade only when manual effort blocks cycle time or introduces repeat errors.
Start here
Use /tools/ for first-cycle baseline and capture decision logs each week.
