Workflows

Assemble small, reliable workflows without a framework (5–8 minutes).

---

Example

import datetime from alloy import command, tool, require, ensure @tool @ensure(lambda d: isinstance(d, dict) and "validated_at" in d, "Must add validated_at") def validate_data(data: dict) -> dict: d = dict(data) d["validated_at"] = datetime.datetime.now(datetime.timezone.utc).isoformat() return d @tool @require(lambda ba: "validated_at" in ba.arguments.get("data", {}), "Run validate_data first") @ensure(lambda ok: ok is True, "Save must succeed") def save_to_production(data: dict) -> bool: return True @command(output=str, tools=[validate_data, save_to_production]) def process_order(order: dict) -> str: return f"Validate then save this order: {order}" print(process_order({"id": 123, "amount": 99.99})) 

Expected: a short message indicating the steps; contracts guide the model.
