A clear task
Every guide should help a defined reader make progress on a specific task. We avoid pages created only to catch a phrase or duplicate a generic answer.
Useful enough to keep.
Careful enough to trust.
This is the standard we use to decide whether a guide belongs in Workflow Library. It is designed for readers first and makes clear where a workflow ends and human judgment begins.
Workflow Library publishes practical educational guides for using AI in research, writing, planning, and routine coordination. It does not provide legal, medical, financial, tax, security, or other professional advice. We do not promise a specific productivity result, income outcome, or search ranking from any workflow.
Useful original work
Published material should add practical framing, examples, sources, editorial analysis, or demonstrated experience. It should not merely rewrite what is already available elsewhere.
Limits in view
We state where a workflow needs verification, where facts may change, and where an AI output is not an appropriate basis for a decision.
Meaningful updates
A date changes only when a guide has received substantive review. Time-sensitive claims, product behavior, and links should be checked before a material refresh.
AI assistance
AI helps with structure, not with pretending.
When AI materially helps organize a guide, the publisher should ensure the final page remains accurate, relevant, and useful. AI-generated names, quotations, sources, tests, outcomes, credentials, reviews, or endorsements must never be presented as real without verification.
Authorship
Readers should know who stands behind a page.
Published guides should include clear byline or editorial attribution where readers expect one. Linked publisher information should accurately explain relevant experience, review responsibility, and contact route.
Sources and links
Claims should have a path back to evidence.
For factual, time-sensitive, or product-specific information, the publisher should prefer primary sources and make relevant links available. A source must not be cited for a claim it does not make.
Commercial independence
Editorial purpose comes before monetization.
Advertising, affiliate relationships, sponsorships, or vendor access should be disclosed where they exist. They must not decide a recommendation, be confused with navigation, or block main content.
