Workflow Execution Infographic Prompt

Target

Embedded in docs/workflow_spec.md after the opening paragraph and before ## Table of Contents.

Intended Alt Text

Workflow execution model showing inputs, environment, ordered steps, prompt injection, control flow wrappers, artifacts, parallel branches, join modes, and HITL gates.

Final GPT Image Prompt

Create a 16:9 landscape documentation infographic for a technical Markdown manual, light neutral background, crisp architecture diagram style, clean blocks and arrows, restrained but distinct accent colors.

Subject: SASE YAML workflow execution model.

Composition:

  • Left column: "Inputs" and "Environment" as two source blocks flowing into a central execution lane.
  • Center lane: ordered workflow steps moving left to right / top to bottom. Include six step-type blocks with short labels only: agent, prompt_part, bash, python, hidden, parallel.
  • Make prompt_part visually distinct as text injection into an agent prompt, not a separate LLM/model call. Show it as a small document fragment feeding into the agent prompt path.
  • Show bash/python producing stdout and optional artifacts; show named outputs/artifacts flowing forward between steps.
  • Around the center lane, show control wrappers as thin bands or brackets labeled: if, for, while, repeat/until.
  • Right side: parallel branches split, execute concurrently, and join back together. Include four compact join labels: object, array, text, lastOf.
  • Include a small HITL gate icon/block that pauses the lane before continuing.

Style requirements:

  • Technical architecture infographic, not marketing art.
  • No logos, no screenshots, no code paragraphs, no dense body text.
  • Use short legible labels only; dark text on light blocks; generous spacing.
  • Avoid decorative gradients and avoid a one-hue palette.
  • Use simple line icons and arrows; readable at GitHub Markdown width.
  • Final image should feel consistent with a software documentation diagram.

Post-Processing Notes

Generated with the built-in image generation tool, copied into docs/images/workflow-execution-infographic.png, then post-processed with ImageMagick to replace generated left-column labels with deterministic workflow-spec terminology: input parameters, defaults and types, invocation arguments, template context, environment variables, Jinja2 rendering, shared step environment, and values available to steps.
