Lessons
1
What a Workflow Image Must Prove
Learn the Canon rule for useful images: show the object, decision state, proof, or owner.
2
Map Database, Automation, Judgment
Turn a business workflow into three visible lanes so Codex and operators know what is data, execution, and policy.
3
Show the MCP Boundary
Draw the edge between Codex, the MCP server, external APIs, and the human approval point.
4
Place Policy Gates
Use run, review, stop, and escalate states to make automation limits visible before work ships.
5
Ship Receipts and Metadata
Package the image with the claim, validation evidence, owner, refresh date, and next action.
