A Practical Implementation Checklist
- Define supported intents and explicit out-of-scope behavior.
- Design a structured extraction schema.
- Validate all extracted values before using them.
- Model workflow states, nodes, and transitions.
- Keep a structured ledger of verified facts.
- Define required questions and confirmation gates.
- Enforce authorization at the action boundary.
- Isolate external operations behind connectors.
- Implement idempotency and failure handling.
- Record decisions, state transitions, and action results.
- Create scripted golden scenarios.
- Test ambiguous answers, unsupported intents, and retries.
- Keep one reusable workflow engine for all consumers.
