Principlev1

Externalize workflow templates for recurring process types

Externalize workflow templates for recurring process types to convert design effort from repeated cognitive reconstruction into reusable, explicit structure.

Why This Is a Principle

This principle derives from Generative Externalization (externalization is generative), Schemas as Knowledge Organization Structures (schemas organize knowledge), and Knowledge that exists only in tacit form degrades without (tacit knowledge degrades without detection). Templates externalize the schema, eliminating the extraneous cognitive load of process reconstruction each time.

Workflow templates

Create reusable templates for recurring workflow types so that you invest design effort once and execute many times without reinventing the process.
