Capability node
Action Design
Specify the exact steps, tools, and decision points a skill uses to get work done.
Why this capability exists
A skill is only as good as its procedure. Action design makes the execution deterministic enough to repeat and robust enough to recover.
Input
- Scope and input contract
- Available tools and permissions
Output
- Ordered action list with checkpoints
- Tool calls and failure branches specified
- Human confirmation points marked
Risks
- Vague steps the model interprets differently every run
- No defined behavior when a tool fails
- Automating steps that need human judgment
Acceptance criteria
- Two runs on the same input produce the same outcome
- Every step states its tool, input, and expected output
- Each failure mode has a recovery action
