Edit Workflow - Validation Checklist
Pre-Edit Analysis
- Target workflow.yaml file successfully loaded and parsed
 - All referenced workflow files identified and accessible
 - Workflow type correctly determined (document/action/interactive/autonomous/meta)
 - Best practices guide loaded and available for reference
 
Edit Execution Quality
- User clearly informed of identified issues with priority levels
 - Edit menu presented with all 8 standard options
 - Selected edit type matches the actual changes made
 - All proposed changes explained with reasoning before application
 
File Integrity
- All modified files maintain valid YAML/Markdown syntax
 - No placeholders like {TITLE} or {WORKFLOW_CODE} remain in edited files
 - File paths use proper variable substitution ({project-root}, {installed_path})
 - All file references resolve to actual paths
 
Convention Compliance
- Instructions.md contains critical workflow engine reference header
 - Instructions.md contains workflow.yaml processing reference header
 - All step numbers are sequential (1, 2, 3... or 1a, 1b, 2a...)
 - Each step has both n= attribute and goal= attribute
 - Variable names use snake_case consistently
 - Template variables (if any) match tags exactly
 
Instruction Quality
- Each step has a single, clear goal stated
 - Instructions are specific with quantities (e.g., "3-5 items" not "several items")
 - Optional steps marked with optional="true" attribute
 - Repeating steps use proper repeat syntax (repeat="3" or repeat="until-complete")
 - User prompts use tags and wait for response
 - Actions use tags for required operations
 
Validation Criteria (if checklist.md exists)
- All checklist items are measurable and specific
 - No vague criteria like "Good documentation" present
 - Checklist organized into logical sections
 - Each criterion can be objectively verified as true/false
 
Change Documentation
- All changes logged with description of what and why
 - Change summary includes list of modified files
 - Improvements clearly articulated in relation to best practices
 - Next steps or recommendations provided
 
Post-Edit Verification
- Edited workflow follows patterns from production examples
 - No functionality broken by the edits
 - Workflow ready for testing or production use
 - User given option to test the edited workflow
 
Common Issues Resolved
- Missing critical headers added if they were absent
 - Broken variable references fixed
 - Vague instructions made specific
 - Template-only workflows have template.md file
 - Action workflows have template: false in workflow.yaml
 - Step count reasonable (5-10 steps maximum unless justified)
