The outcome
Publish a reviewable workflow that uses LLM judgment only where needed and keeps business rules deterministic.
Step by step
A workflow you can repeat.
- 01
Define the user, input schema, data classification, desired output, model budget, deterministic rules, approval points, and failure states.
- 02
Create a blank Workflow with validated User Input fields and clearly named variables, then add IF/ELSE branches for rule-based decisions.
- 03
Add the minimum LLM and tool nodes with constrained prompts, structured outputs, least-privilege credentials, timeouts, and safe error routes.
- 04
Use templates for fixed formatting and test individual nodes plus full runs with normal, malformed, adversarial, provider-failure, and cost cases.
- 05
Publish a version only after review, run a live smoke test, monitor node logs and token use, and retain an export and rollback procedure.
Working standard
What good use looks like.
- Keep deterministic rules outside LLM nodes.
- Use typed variables and structured outputs.
- Test every failure branch.
