workflow

Definition

A sequence of steps wired together by order and data dependencies. In agent work it names the whole orchestrated procedure — call a tool, check the result, branch, retry — as opposed to a single prompt-and-response. In scientific computing it additionally implies reproducibility machinery: recorded inputs, intermediate artifacts, and pinned environments, so the run can be repeated later.
