# Workflow packages: Agent Lab kit catalog overview

> How Agent Lab workflow kits are organized across seven series, versioned with the kit/1.0 manifest, and navigated by operators and buyers.

Agent Lab ships a catalog of workflow kits that operators can pick up, run, and adapt. Each kit is a self-contained package that covers one business workflow end to end: what it does, when to run it, what inputs it needs, and how it validates.

Use this page to understand what a kit contains, how to read its status, and which series to open first for the problem you are trying to solve.

<Note>
  This catalog describes packaged workflow kits for operators and buyers. The Agent Lab runtime also seeds a separate suite of 10 live autonomous workflows into every workspace. See [Autonomous runtime workflows](/workflows/autonomous-runtime) for that set.
</Note>

## What a workflow kit contains

Every kit follows the same folder shape so operators know exactly where to look. A typical kit includes:

* `README.md`: packaging status and registry metadata for the workflow.
* `kit.md`: the operative manifest that governs the kit (see [The kit/1.0 manifest](#the-kit-1-0-manifest)).
* `automation/`: blueprint files for Make.com, n8n, or other runtimes when the workflow is automated.
* `trackers/`: Excel or CSV tracker templates the workflow relies on.
* `source/`: reference documents extracted from the original workflow source.

Once a kit exists, `kit.md` is the file to open first. It carries the trigger, owner, cycle time, inputs, setup steps, validation checklist, and change log for the workflow.

## The kit/1.0 manifest

Every kit is described by a YAML frontmatter block at the top of `kit.md` that conforms to the `kit/1.0` schema. The manifest is what makes a kit reproducible and reviewable, not just a folder of files.

A representative manifest looks like this:

```yaml theme={null}
---
schema: kit/1.0
slug: cul-01-vision-purpose
title: "CUL-01 - Vision & Purpose"
summary: "Culture workflow package for Vision & Purpose."
version: 0.1.0-draft
owner: uncle-robert-consulting
license: UNLICENSED
status: imported-draft
conformance: draft
certifiedAt: null
workflowId: CUL-01
department: "Culture"
automationLevel: "60-70%"
primaryOwner: "Robert T. McCarthy"
trigger: "Annual strategy session"
cycleTime: "Vision: annual; OKRs: quarterly"
sourceStatus: "Imported source"
changeLog: []
tags:
  - workflow-package
  - cul
  - culture
---
```

The fields that matter most when picking up a kit:

* `workflowId` and `department`: where the kit lives in the catalog.
* `trigger` and `cycleTime`: when to run it and how often.
* `primaryOwner`: who is accountable for outcomes.
* `automationLevel`: rough share of the workflow the automation handles.
* `status` and `conformance`: how mature the kit is (see below).
* `changeLog`: dated entries for every meaningful change to the kit.

### Kit status: Draft, Active, and Certified

Kits move through three status levels. Do not treat a lower-status kit as if it were higher. The differences are about how much evidence backs the kit, not just how polished it looks.

| Status    | What it means                                                                                                                                                      | Safe to use for                                              |
| --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Draft     | Manifest exists but the kit has not been validated in a real run. Placeholders may not be bound. `certifiedAt` is `null`.                                          | Agent orientation and controlled internal use.               |
| Active    | Kit has been run at least once. Placeholders are bound, automations import cleanly, and manual fallbacks exist.                                                    | Internal operations with owner approval on external actions. |
| Certified | Kit has documented evidence from live or controlled runs, a completed validation checklist, and an explicit decision on the internal versus client-facing variant. | Client-facing delivery and licensable use.                   |

`README.md` in each kit calls out the current packaging status. `kit.md` records the same status in frontmatter and expands on what still blocks certification.

### Two package variants

Most kits eventually split into two variants:

* **URC/internal package**: runs the internal operating system and may keep internal roles, tools, and targets.
* **Client-facing package**: scrubbed of internal specifics and safe to hand to a buyer.

Keep the variants explicit during conversion so internal operating docs do not accidentally ship as client deliverables.

## The seven series

Kits are grouped into seven series, one per department. Each series uses a stable `XXX-NN` slug so operators can reference a workflow without ambiguity.

| Series    | Department        | What it covers                                                                                                  |
| --------- | ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| CUL 01–08 | Culture           | Vision, mission, governance, documentation, security, growth, R\&D, strategy, and IT for the operating culture. |
| MKT 01–09 | Marketing         | Lead gen, nurture, polls, reviews, outreach, content, paid, social, and event marketing.                        |
| OPS 01–08 | Operations        | Vision, mission, governance, documentation, security, strategy, IT, growth, and R\&D applied to operations.     |
| FIN 01–05 | Finance           | Pricing, taxes, receivables and payables, accounting, and investment.                                           |
| SAL 01–06 | Sales             | Proposals, onboarding, deals, closing, income streams, and fundraising.                                         |
| FUL 01–05 | Fulfillment       | Packaging, client success, customer service, feedback, and analytics.                                           |
| AFC 01–04 | Recurring revenue | Subscriptions, memberships, long-term contracts, and communities.                                               |

Each series follows the same numbering convention, so `MKT-06` always means Content Creation & Dissemination, and `SAL-01` always means Proposals & Contracts. Reference kits by that ID in commit messages, change control entries, and cross-workflow handoffs.

## How to navigate the catalog

Start from the problem you are trying to solve, not from the folder listing.

* **If you are a buyer**, read the department-level series that matches your pain. Open the specific kit whose `trigger` matches when you would actually run it. The `automationLevel` field tells you how much of the workflow is automated versus manual.
* **If you are an operator**, open `kit.md` first and work through Setup and Quickstart. Only dive into `source/`, `automation/`, or `trackers/` when the manifest points you there. Record every meaningful change through the change log in the manifest and the change control register.
* **If you are certifying a kit**, walk the Validation checklist in `kit.md`. Confirm the manifest's `status` and `conformance` reflect reality. Split the URC/internal and client-facing variants before promoting the kit to Active or Certified.

## The flagship: Founder Signal System

The `marketing-founder-signal-system` kit is the flagship starter package. It is a thin vertical slice across six Marketing workflows (MKT-01, MKT-02, MKT-03, MKT-04, MKT-05, and MKT-06) aimed at solo founders and small service-based businesses.

The flagship is a Draft kit today. It is the first sellable cut while the underlying Marketing kits are still being converted. It deliberately excludes paid advertising (MKT-07), social media management (MKT-08), and event marketing (MKT-09). Use it as a template for how to package future cross-series bundles.
