AI workflow artifacts

Find the AI workflow artifact your next decision needs

When an AI workflow touches customers, records, code, money, public facts, or another agent, the next step should not be a vague policy discussion. Choose the matrix, packet, receipt, ledger, contract, source map, or rollout plan that makes the decision visible.

Chooser shelf

Pick the artifact family before picking the tool

Start with the operational question the meeting is really asking. Each shelf points to concrete worksheets, posts, and a contact path that keeps the request artifact-specific.

Quick chooser by symptom

If the team arrives with a problem, route it to a work product

Symptom-based chooser for AI workflow artifact families
If the team says...Point them to...Why
We do not know what the agent can touch.Permission and access mapsThe first artifact should name reach before behavior expands.
The reviewer is guessing.Review and approval packetsThe work needs source evidence, proposed action, risk flags, owner, and rollback hint before approval.
Nobody can tell what happened last time.Receipts, ledgers, and source-of-truth recordsThe system needs a reconstructable record, not a longer transcript.
The agent can write code or run scripts.Build, release, and sandbox controlsExecution needs a sandbox contract, receipt, tests, and rollback before merge or run permission expands.
This could expose data or credentials.Security and data-boundary drillsThe risk sits in sources, fields, queries, credentials, packages, and handoffs.
The pilot worked once; can we expand it?Operational rollout and resilience plansExpansion needs shadow evidence, pause rules, rollback, and ownership.
Assistants may read or repeat the wrong public fact.Public web and AI-search artifactsThe source trail needs a stable owned path and machine-readable terms.

Recent posts by artifact family

Use the library as the supporting link for artifact-led posts

This first map covers more than twenty recent posts. It shows where a future CTA or related link can point without sending every reader to the same broad page.

Review and approval packets

Receipts, ledgers, and source-of-truth records

How this fits the controls guide

The artifacts library is a chooser; the controls guide is the full sequence

Use this page when the reader remembers the artifact noun but not the path. Use the controls guide when the team is ready to walk one workflow through boundary, data, policy, shadow week, queue, receipts, tests, observability, and rollback.

Bring one workflow artifact into the next decision

If the team can name the workflow but not the work product, bring the question. BaristaLabs can help choose the access map, review packet, receipt, ledger, contract, source map, or rollback plan that should come first.
