Find your task, copy the route. Every route links to a complete example. (Agents: this page + Snippets + the Workflow Schema is the full assembly kit.)

The 60-second mental model

  1. Workflow markdown is the only control plane. Everything an agent may do — runtime, model, tools, network, budget, review — is declared in one file. If a power isn’t declared, it doesn’t exist at runtime.
  2. Cadence is the governor. It validates your file, picks the concrete route, enforces budgets, and only advances stages on typed events.
  3. States are honest. Every capability is implemented, model-dependent, partial-compatible, policy-blocked, vendor-blocked, or unsupported — each provider page has a decision-rule legend.
  4. Test cheap first. Validate (think_workflow_md_validate), run with a small budget, read the session ledger, then scale.
