AI-generated overview

Routes AEM 6.5 LTS workflow requests to specialist skills covering model design, development, triggering, launchers, debugging and triage.

What it does: This is a single entry point for AEM 6.5 LTS Workflow skills. It presents an intent router table that maps user requests to specialist skills for workflow model design, custom process step and participant chooser development, workflow triggering, launcher configuration, debugging, and incident triage. It also lists 6.5 LTS capabilities and guardrails, such as JMX operations, log access, model paths, and service user guidance. The deliverable is routing guidance that points to the relevant specialist SKILL.md and its output contract.
When to use it: Use this when a request concerns AEM 6.5 LTS workflows and you need to identify which specialist skill applies. It suits broad or ambiguous workflow requests that span multiple concerns, such as design, triggering, launchers, or production debugging. It is also useful for checking 6.5 LTS capabilities and guardrails before acting.
Requirements: Requires AEM 6.5 LTS or Adobe Managed Services (AMS) and a Maven project structure with core and ui.apps modules. It is instructions only and ships no scripts. Referenced specialist skills are expected to be available at the linked paths.

AEM 6.5 LTS Workflow

Route user requests to the appropriate specialist skill based on intent.

Intent Router

User Intent	Skill	Path
Create a workflow model, add steps, design OR/AND splits, configure variables	Model Design	workflow-model-design/SKILL.md
Implement a custom WorkflowProcess step, ParticipantStepChooser, OSGi service registration	Development	workflow-development/SKILL.md
Start a workflow from code, HTTP API, Timeline UI, Manage Publication, replication triggers	Triggering	workflow-triggering/SKILL.md
Configure a launcher, auto-start on asset upload, overlay OOTB launcher	Launchers	workflow-launchers/SKILL.md
Workflow stuck, failed step, missing Inbox task, stale instances, thread pool exhaustion, purge	Debugging	workflow-debugging/SKILL.md
Classify a workflow incident, determine required logs, JMX diagnostics, Splunk queries	Triaging	workflow-triaging/SKILL.md
End-to-end lifecycle or requests spanning multiple concerns	Orchestrator	workflow-orchestrator/SKILL.md

How to Use

Match the user's request to one row in the Intent Router table above.
Read the linked SKILL.md for that specialist skill.
Follow the workflow, references, and output contract defined in that skill.
For broad or ambiguous requests that span multiple concerns, use the Orchestrator which coordinates across all specialist skills and loads foundation references.

6.5 LTS / AMS Capabilities

Capability	Detail
JMX	Full access via Felix Console (`/system/console/jmx`) or JMX client
Retry failed items	JMX `retryFailedWorkItems` or Inbox Retry
Stale detection	JMX `countStaleWorkflows`
Stale restart	JMX `restartStaleWorkflows(dryRun=true)` then execute
Purge	JMX `purgeCompleted(dryRun=true)` or Purge Scheduler
Log access	Direct filesystem (`crx-quickstart/logs/`) or AMS log access
Config changes	Felix Console, OSGi config in repo, or CRX/DE

6.5 LTS Guardrails

Rule	Detail
Avoid editing `/libs`	Use overlays under `/apps` or store at `/conf/global`
Model design-time path	`/conf/global/settings/workflow/models/<id>` (preferred) or `/etc/workflow/models/<id>` (legacy)
Model runtime path (for API calls)	`/var/workflow/models/<id>`
Launcher config paths	`/conf/global/settings/workflow/launcher/config/` (preferred)
Service users	Use `ResourceResolverFactory.getServiceResourceResolver()` with a sub-service; avoid `loginAdministrative`
OSGi annotations	DS R6 preferred; Felix SCR still supported on 6.5 LTS
Deploy via	Package Manager, Maven + Content Package Plugin

Prototype

adobe

Render a proposed redesign of a page on the current website as a self-contained static HTML file, then iterate via the impeccable craft loop. Per-page, idempotent, stale-aware. Use when the user asks for a redesign prototype, a before/after comparison, a design preview, a page mockup, a visual diff of the redesign, or invokes `$stardust prototype` (`/stardust:prototype` in Claude Code).
