# /workflow - Execute and Manage Workflows

Use this skill to start, monitor, and manage workflow executions in the Periscope platform.

## What You Can Do

1. **Start workflows** - Execute a workflow with input data
2. **Monitor execution** - Check status and progress
3. **Send signals** - Trigger workflow events
4. **Schedule workflows** - Plan future executions
5. **Use triggers** - Start workflows via signals, messages, or webhooks

## How to Use

Describe what you want to do with workflows:

- "Start the approval workflow for order 12345"
- "Check the status of my running workflows"
- "Cancel workflow abc-123"
- "Send an approval signal to workflow xyz"
- "Schedule the report workflow for tomorrow at 9am"

## Common Operations

### Start a Workflow
```
Start workflow: approval_workflow
Input: {"request_id": "REQ-001", "amount": 5000}
```

### Check Status
```
Get status for workflow: approval_workflow-uuid
```

### Send Signal
```
Send signal "approve" to workflow: approval_workflow-uuid
Data: {"approved_by": "manager@company.com"}
```

### Schedule for Later
```
Schedule workflow: daily_report
Run at: 2024-01-15 09:00 UTC
```
