Workflow bundles: parameterized, shareable automations with one-click launch links #275
Description
Inspired by Goose Recipes (YAML packages bundling instructions, MCP extensions, parameters, parallel subrecipes; shareable, deep-linkable, CI-runnable).
Upgrade automations from private schedules to reusable assets: export/import a workflow as a versioned bundle (fits #164's WORKFLOW.md), parameterize it (repo, branch, model, schedule), and launch via solenta:// deep link (#186). A community/team catalog of bundles is the stretch goal.

Research note (Xata Agent): include plain-English playbooks as a bundle type — ordered-step markdown procedures ('investigate failing CI: check logs, classify the failure, ...') that constrain the executing agent turn by turn. Users write their own; constrains hallucination better than a freeform prompt. Related: Anthropic's tool-testing agent idea — an automation that exercises flaky MCP tools and rewrites their descriptions, 40% faster completion for future agents.

Research note (marketplace round): adopt Claude Code's decentralized marketplace format for workflow bundles — a marketplace is any git repo with a manifest JSON. No server to run; versioning, discovery, and install come free from git. Skip paid marketplace mechanics entirely (GPT Store is the cautionary precedent); free templates as lead-gen.

Research note (AAIF Agent Plugins 1.0, Aug 6): the industry-default portable layout is plugin.json + skills/ + mcp.json + vendor-namespaced extras, installable in VS Code, Cursor, Codex, ChatGPT, Kiro. Adopt this layout for workflow-bundle export; note there is no provenance layer yet, so installs should be treated as code execution.

Deep-dive detail (Conductor API cookbook): ship literal copy-paste system prompts that turn any external agent into a fleet manager (plan, brief, spawn, supervise, report; multi-PR fanout; daily report). It is marketing, docs, and product in one. Note their constraint — 'the session shares no context with you' — which our shared memory explicitly counters; say so in the cookbook.

From the Goose doc-mine: recipe retry with shell success checks — after agent completion, declared checks run (external commands, not the model's say-so), and on failure the recipe runs cleanup, RESETS message history to initial state, and re-runs up to max_retries. Declarative verification-loop-in-config for workflow bundles. Also: /recipe generates a bundle from the current conversation — capture-what-worked as a one-command export.

Closing as not planned in the 2026-10-09 board cleanup (#1532). Speculative idea with no work and no tie to the current roadmap. Reopen if it becomes a priority.
