ASA Workflow Trace Builder

Use this internal meta-skill when a model must reconstruct a skill workflow from user request to final delivery.

This skill fixes the failure mode where workflow analysis becomes a vague list of actions without inputs, outputs, resource usage, actor responsibility, evidence, or reusable workflow anchors.

Inputs

• Structure analysis for one skill package.
• SKILL.md ordered steps, headings, rules, warnings, and output instructions.
• Resource role analysis when available.
• Source snapshot and evidence blocks.

Process

1. Start from the user intent or task trigger.
2. Identify each step in execution order.
3. For every step, state input, action, output, actor, resources, confidence, and whether it is inferred.
4. Map how each step enables the next step.
5. Extract workflow anchors from reusable step chains, handoffs, replaceable steps, validation gates, and output transitions.
6. Extract decision points, verification points, failure modes, recovery paths, and stop conditions.
7. Separate model actions from script/tool/human/external actions.
8. Build a short pipeline for visual reports and a full step list for detailed reports.
9. Attach evidence to every high-confidence step and every proposed anchor.
