Exercise 2: Document All Your Workflows

Time: 1-2 hours

Using the template from Lesson 2, write complete documentation for every workflow you've built.

Minimum required: 3 workflows

• Morning Brief
• Inbox Triage
• Your custom API integration

But also document: any other workflows you've created during this course.

Use the template:

=== WORKFLOW: [Name] ===

PURPOSE:
[One sentence describing what this workflow does and why it exists]

TRIGGER:
[What starts it, how often, any conditions]

KEY STEPS:
- [Step 1, in plain English]
- [Step 2, in plain English]
- [Step 3, in plain English]
- [etc.]

DATA SOURCES & DESTINATIONS:
Input from: [APIs, databases, webhooks, hardcoded values]
Output to: [Email, databases, APIs, files, etc.]

AI STEPS:
Model: [e.g., Claude 3.5 Sonnet]
Prompt: [Copy the exact prompt, or link to it]
Expected output: [What should the AI produce?]

KNOWN EDGE CASES:
- [Edge case 1 and how we handle it]
- [Edge case 2 and how we handle it]

LAST UPDATED:
[Date] by [your name] — [one sentence describing the change]

Save to: Google Doc, Notion page, or text file — whatever format you'll actually maintain.

The 2am test: Could you (or someone else) understand this workflow well enough to fix a broken execution at 2am? If not, add more detail.
