Take a simple workflow. You have a query it goes to a classifier. The classifier determines what workflow it should route the request to.

Then you have a general workflow that has a set of skills (prompts) and tools. And that could be recursive.

So if you do something like "rename this file" you have to build up a workflow like:

[classifier]

what's the workflow -> rename

[rename workflow]

list files (tool call)

figure out relevant predicate (LLM)

convert predicate into a filter query give the context of the files (LLM)

figure out what you want the new name to be (LLM)

create the request body and hit the tool

approval workflow

formatting

It's a lot to manage and orchestrate and that's just one simple example. You'd like want to use the same building blocks to delete a file or move it. Even to know the right concepts is difficult as we're a bit deluded on whats going on in the background of these modern AI apps like Claude and GPT that do a lot of this stuff for you
