Layer Workflows

Overview

A workflow is a multi-step pipeline a studio built in Layer's Blueprint editor and published. Where Forge runs one model with parameters you choose, a workflow runs a graph someone already designed, tested, and standardised. When one exists for the task, it is usually the better answer: it encodes decisions the studio has already made.

Call get_workflow_instructions before the first workflow run in a session. The shared loop and the spend gate are in the layer skill.

If a sibling skill named here is missing from your available skills, ask the user to install it (npx skills add layerai/skills --skill <name>); unattended, proceed from tool schemas and flag the gap.
