Run Workflows
A workflow is a declarative, multi-stage pipeline that runs several agent steps toward one outcome. Wayland ships a library of 107 workflows grouped by category. This guide covers finding, inspecting, and running them from the desktop.
Open the Workflows library
Section titled “Open the Workflows library”Open Workflows from the sidebar. Workflows are grouped by category (Featured first, then Business Operations, Career, Content Creation, Creative Projects, Cross-Domain, Lifestyle, and Software & Engineering). Use the search box in the filter rail to jump to one by name, or pick a category to narrow the list.
Inspect a workflow
Section titled “Inspect a workflow”Click a workflow card to open its detail view. It shows what the workflow does (“When you launch this”), an excerpt of its steps, and the skills it activates as it runs (“Uses these skills”). Click any skill chip to open that skill in the Skills page. This lets you see up front what the workflow will use before you run it.
Run a workflow
Section titled “Run a workflow”From the detail view:
- Under Run on, pick the backend agent and model the workflow should run on. If the picker says no models are available, connect a provider first in Settings > Models.
- Click Launch now. Wayland opens a new conversation with the workflow loaded as the agent’s first directive and works through its stages, reporting back as it goes. You can interrupt or change direction at any point.
If you had already started this workflow and a recent session is still in flight, the detail view offers to resume that session or start fresh instead of showing Launch now.
To run it later instead of now, click Schedule to create a scheduled task pre-filled with this workflow. See Schedule Recurring Tasks.
Build a workflow
Section titled “Build a workflow”Click Build a workflow at the top of the library to author a new one. The builder has two tabs:
- Write it myself opens an editor where you give the workflow a name, description, category, and tags, then write its body in Markdown.
- Describe it lets you describe the workflow in plain language and have Wayland draft the body for you, which you can then refine in the editor.
When you save, Skill Guard scans the body and reports a verdict (clean, flagged for review, or blocked).
If you would rather author workflows as ForgeFlows in the RON format and validate and run them from the engine, see the references below.
