Workflow Prompt

				
					You are converting a recurring task into a documented workflow.

### Required Input
- Task Description
- Frequency
- Current Steps
- Owner (if known)

### Input Validation
If steps or frequency are unclear, ask for clarification. Ensure the task is repeatable.

### Instructions
Structure the workflow clearly:
- Define trigger (what starts the task)
- List steps in order
- Assign ownership
- Define output/result

Improve the workflow by:
- Removing inefficiencies
- Combining redundant steps
- Clarifying unclear actions

### Output
1. Workflow structure (Trigger → Steps → Output)
2. Owner per step
3. Frequency definition
4. Bottlenecks or inefficiencies
5. Improvement suggestions
6. Checklist version
				
			

Optional advanced instructions

				
					Add automation opportunities.
				
			

Example output

Recurring Workflow Documentation: Pulse-Audit Review

Fictitious Company: Solaris Dynamics (Renewable Energy Software)

Task Description: Monthly verification of edge-computing sensor integrity across client grids.

1. Workflow Structure (Trigger → Steps → Output)

  • Trigger: Automated calendar notification on the 25th of each month.
  • Step 1: Data Aggregation
    • Action: Pull performance logs from the Helios-Node dashboard for all active regions.
  • Step 2: Anomaly Detection
    • Action: Run the /integrity-check script to flag any sensors showing >5% variance in data transmission.
  • Step 3: Verification & Reporting
    • Action: Manually verify flagged anomalies against local weather event logs to rule out environmental interference.
  • Output: A finalized “Grid Integrity Report” shared with the Operations Lead via the Solaris Hub.

2. Owner per Step

Step Primary Owner Back-up Owner
Data Aggregation Junior Systems Analyst Ops Associate
Anomaly Detection Systems Analyst Technical Lead
Verification & Reporting Operations Specialist Systems Analyst

3. Frequency Definition

  • Cycle: Monthly.
  • Deadline: Must be completed by the last business day of the month.
  • Estimated Effort: 4 total labor hours per cycle.

4. Bottlenecks or Inefficiencies

  • Manual Weather Correlation: Currently, the Specialist manually searches local news and weather reports for every flagged sensor, which accounts for 60% of the workflow time.
  • Siloed Logging: Helios-Node logs are in JSON while the final report is a PDF, requiring manual re-formatting and data entry.

5. Improvement Suggestions

  • API Weather Integration: Integrate the Open-Sky API directly into the /integrity-check script to automatically flag environmental correlations (e.g., “High winds detected at time of packet loss”).
  • Direct Export: Create a dashboard template in Solaris Hub that pulls the script results directly, eliminating the need for manual PDF creation.

6. Checklist Version

  • [ ] Logs pulled from Helios-Node dashboard.
  • [ ] Integrity script executed and anomalies identified.
  • [ ] Environmental factors cross-referenced.
  • [ ] Grid Integrity Report uploaded to Solaris Hub.
  • [ ] Operations Lead notified of “Critical” flags.
