What belongs in a shareable workflow example?

A useful way to think about this is to keep the causal chain, not the clutter. In a hypothetical support example using invented names and placeholder values, I would remove account labels, project history and business context that do not affect the failure, but retain the trigger, the sequence of steps, the branching logic and the exact form of the unexpected output. For AI workflows, the important comparison is between a tidy summary and a reproducible skeleton: a summary is easier to share, while a skeleton gives humans enough structure to test prompts, tool calls, hand-offs and approval points together. If one detail changes the model’s behaviour, such as field order or a validation rule, that detail is probably part of the example rather than noise. Which single feature of an example must remain visible for others to reproduce the problem?
