Single entry point for all AEM as a Cloud Service Workflow skills. Covers workflow model design, custom process step and participant chooser development, launcher configuration, workflow triggering, and production support including debugging stuck/failed workflows, triaging incidents with Cloud Manager logs, thread pool analysis, and Sling Job diagnostics for the Granite Workflow Engine.

AI-generated overview

Routes AEM as a Cloud Service workflow requests to specialist skills covering model design, development, triggering, launchers, debugging and triage.

What it does: This is an entry-point router for AEM as a Cloud Service workflow work. It maps a user's intent to one of several specialist skills, such as model design, custom process step development, workflow triggering, launcher configuration, debugging, triaging or full lifecycle orchestration. It also lists Cloud Service constraints and the paths used for models, launchers and deployment. It produces a routing decision and pointers to the relevant specialist instructions rather than workflow artifacts itself.
When to use it: Use it when a request concerns AEM as a Cloud Service workflows and you need to pick the right specialist skill. It fits broad or ambiguous requests that span several workflow concerns, and requests about stuck or failed workflows, launchers, triggering or model design.
Requirements: Requires AEM as a Cloud Service and a Maven project structure with core and ui.apps modules. No scripts are shipped; it is instructions only.

AEM Cloud Service 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	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, Splunk queries, data gathering checklist	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.

Cloud Service Constraints

Constraint	Detail
No JMX	No `retryFailedWorkItems`, `countStaleWorkflows`, `restartStaleWorkflows`, `purgeCompleted` via JMX
`/libs` is immutable	Never write to `/libs`; use `/conf/global/` or `/apps/` overlays
Model design-time path	`/conf/global/settings/workflow/models/<id>`
Model runtime path (for API calls)	`/var/workflow/models/<id>`
Launcher config path	`/conf/global/settings/workflow/launcher/config/`
Service users	Always use `workflow-process-service` sub-service; never admin credentials
OSGi annotations	DS R6 (`@Component`, `@Reference` from `org.osgi.service.component.annotations`)
Deploy via	Cloud Manager pipeline — no Package Manager in production
