Workflow Or Agent Decider
Overview
Provide a structured decision and a starter scaffold for either a workflow or agent harness.
Quick start
- Fill
templates/decision_matrix.json. - Choose workflow or agent.
- Use the corresponding scaffold notes in
references/decision-guidance.md.
Core Guidance
- Use workflows for stable, deterministic tasks.
- Use agent harnesses for open-ended tasks with tool use.
- Document the choice and the trade-offs.
Resources
references/decision-guidance.md: Decision heuristics and scaffolds.templates/decision_matrix.json: Decision matrix template.
Validation
- Confirm the decision criteria were addressed and recorded.
