## Quick Reference (30 seconds)
**Workflow Orchestration for ADB Automation**
**What It Does**: Parses and executes TOON YAML workflow files that coordinate multiple ADB scripts across phases with error recovery, verification, and state management.
**Core Capabilities**:
- 🔄 **Phase-Based Execution**: Multi-stage workflows
- 🔀 **Parameter Templating**: {{ variable }} substitution
- ✅ **Verification Steps**: Validate state after each action
- 🔁 **Error Recovery**: Retry with fallback logic
- 📊 **State Tracking**: Progress through phases
- ⏱️ **Timeout Management**: Per-action timeout control
**When to Use**:
- Running complex multi-step automation sequences
- Coordinating multiple scripts with dependencies
- Need error recovery and retry logic
- Building reusable workflow definitions

## TOON Workflow Format
### Basic Structure
```yaml
name: Workflow Name
description: What this workflow does
version: 1.0.0
parameters:
device_id: "127.0.0.1:5555"
timeout: 10
phases:
- id: phase1_setup
name: "Setup Phase"
steps:
- id: step1
action: adb-tap
params:
x: 100
y: 200
device: "{{ device_id }}"
- id: step2
action: adb-wait-for
params:
method: text
target: "Loaded"
timeout: "{{ timeout }}"
recovery:
- on_error: phase1_setup
action: retry
max_attempts: 3
- on_error: step1
action: adb-screen-capture
then: continue
```
### Parameter Templating
```yaml
parameters:
device: "127.0.0.1:5555"
search_text: "Login"
timeout: 10
steps:
- action: adb-find-element
params:
method: ocr
target: "{{ search_text }}"
device: "{{ device }}"
timeout: "{{ timeout }}"
```
### Phase-Based Organization
```yaml
phases:
- id: phase1_init
name: "Initialization"
steps:
# Steps execute sequentially
- id: capture
action: adb-screen-capture
- id: phase2_interact
name: "User Interaction"
steps:
# Each phase waits for previous to complete
- id: tap_button
action: adb-tap
params:
x: 100
y: 200
- id: phase3_verify
name: "Verification"
steps:
- id: check_result
action: adb-wait-for
params:
method: text
target: "Success"
```
### Error Recovery
```yaml
recovery:
# Retry on phase error
- on_error: phase2_interact
action: retry
max_attempts: 3
delay: 1
# Fallback action
- on_error: step_tap
action: adb-swipe
params:
direction: up
distance: 300
then: retry
# Custom recovery script
- on_error: phase3_verify
action: adb-screenshot-capture # Run script
then: continue
```

## Scripts
### adb-run-workflow.py
Execute TOON YAML workflow file.
```bash
# Basic execution
uv run adb-run-workflow.py --workflow magisk-setup.toon
# With parameters override
uv run adb-run-workflow.py --workflow magisk-setup.toon \
--param device_id=192.168.1.100:5555 \
--param timeout=15
# Dry run (show what would execute)
uv run adb-run-workflow.py --workflow magisk-setup.toon --dry-run
# With detailed logging
uv run adb-run-workflow.py --workflow magisk-setup.toon --verbose
# JSON output for integration
uv run adb-run-workflow.py --workflow magisk-setup.toon --json
```
**Output**:
```
✅ Workflow: Magisk Setup
Phase 1: Initialization
├─ Step 1: capture [✅ Success]
├─ Step 2: verify [✅ Success]
Phase 2: User Interaction
├─ Step 1: tap_button [✅ Success - attempt 1/3]
├─ Step 2: wait_load [✅ Success]
Phase 3: Verification
├─ Step 1: check_result [✅ Success]
✅ Workflow completed successfully in 23.5s
```

## Usage Patterns
### Pattern 1: Simple Sequential Workflow
```yaml
name: Simple Login
phases:
- id: login
steps:
- id: tap_username
action: adb-tap
params: {x: 100, y: 200}
- id: wait_password_field
action: adb-wait-for
params: {method: text, target: "Password"}
- id: tap_password
action: adb-tap
params: {x: 100, y: 300}
```
### Pattern 2: Error Recovery with Retry
```yaml
name: Resilient Login
parameters:
max_attempts: 3
phases:
- id: attempt_login
steps:
- id: tap_login
action: adb-tap
params: {x: 100, y: 200}
recovery:
- on_error: attempt_login
action: retry
max_attempts: "{{ max_attempts }}"
delay: 2
```
### Pattern 3: Fallback Action
```yaml
name: Scroll and Find
phases:
- id: find_element
steps:
- id: wait_element
action: adb-wait-for
params: {method: text, target: "Target", timeout: 3}
recovery:
- on_error: wait_element
action: adb-swipe
params: {direction: up, distance: 300}
then: retry
```
### Pattern 4: Multi-Phase Coordination
```yaml
name: Complex Workflow
phases:
- id: phase1_setup
name: "Setup"
steps:
- id: init
action: adb-screenshot-capture
- id: phase2_interact
name: "Interaction"
steps:
- id: tap
action: adb-tap
params: {x: 100, y: 200}
- id: phase3_verify
name: "Verification"
steps:
- id: verify
action: adb-wait-for
params: {method: text, target: "Done"}
```

## Architecture
**Design Principles**:
- **Declarative**: Workflows defined as YAML, not code
- **Composable**: Reuse workflows via parameters
- **Resilient**: Built-in error recovery and retry
- **Observable**: Detailed logging and state tracking
- **Extensible**: Easy to add new action types
**Execution Flow**:
```
Load YAML → Validate → Parse Parameters → Execute Phases
↓
Execute Steps
↓
Verify Results
↓
Handle Errors
↓
Report Status
```
**State Machine**:
```
IDLE → VALIDATING → EXECUTING → VERIFYING → COMPLETE
↑ ↓
└──────← ERROR RECOVERY ←──────┘
```

## Integration Points
**Calls**:
- `adb-screen-detection` (capture, find-element)
- `adb-navigation-base` (tap, swipe, wait-for)
- Any `adb-*` script via command name
**Used By**:
- `adb-magisk` (magisk-setup.toon, install-module.toon)
- `adb-karrot` (karrot-bypass-playintegrity.toon)
- Custom workflows

## Example Workflows
### Magisk Module Installation Workflow
```yaml
name: Install Magisk Module
version: 1.0.0
parameters:
device: "127.0.0.1:5555"
module_path: "/sdcard/PlayIntegrityFork.zip"
phases:
- id: phase1_launch
name: "Launch Magisk Manager"
steps:
- id: launch
action: adb-magisk-launch
params: {device: "{{ device }}"}
- id: phase2_navigate
name: "Navigate to Modules"
steps:
- id: wait_home
action: adb-wait-for
params: {method: text, target: "Modules", timeout: 5}
- id: tap_modules
action: adb-tap
params: {x: 100, y: 200, device: "{{ device }}"}
- id: phase3_install
name: "Install Module"
steps:
- id: tap_fab
action: adb-tap
params: {x: 400, y: 800, device: "{{ device }}"}
- id: select_file
action: adb-file-select
params: {path: "{{ module_path }}"}
- id: wait_complete
action: adb-wait-for
params: {method: text, target: "Installation complete", timeout: 10}
recovery:
- on_error: phase2_navigate
action: retry
max_attempts: 2
- on_error: phase3_install
action: adb-screenshot-capture
then: continue
```

## Workflows
This skill includes TOON-based workflow definitions for automation.
### What is TOON?
TOON (Task-Oriented Orchestration Notation) is a structured workflow definition language that pairs with Markdown documentation. Each workflow consists of:
- **[name].toon** - Orchestration logic and execution steps
- **[name].md** - Complete documentation and usage guide
This TOON+MD pairing approach is inspired by the BMAD METHOD pattern, adapted to use TOON instead of YAML for better orchestration support.
### Available Workflows
Workflow files are located in `workflow/` directory:
**Example Workflows (adb-workflow-orchestrator):**
- `workflow/phase-execution.toon` - Multi-phase workflow coordination
- `workflow/error-recovery.toon` - Error handling and recovery patterns
- `workflow/parameter-templating.toon` - Parameter substitution examples
### Running a Workflow
Execute any workflow using the ADB workflow orchestrator:
```bash
uv run .claude/skills/adb-workflow-orchestrator/scripts/adb-run-workflow.py \
--workflow .claude/skills/adb-workflow-orchestrator/workflow/phase-execution.toon \
--param device="127.0.0.1:5555"
```
### Workflow Documentation
Each workflow includes comprehensive documentation in the corresponding `.md` file:
- Purpose and use case
- Prerequisites and requirements
- Available parameters
- Execution phases and steps
- Success criteria
- Error handling and recovery
- Example commands
See the `workflow/` directory for complete TOON file definitions and documentation.
### Creating New Workflows
To create custom workflows for this skill:
1. Create a new `.toon` file in the `workflow/` directory
2. Define phases, steps, and parameters using TOON v4.0 syntax
3. Create corresponding `.md` file with comprehensive documentation
4. Test with the workflow orchestrator
For more information, refer to the TOON specification and the workflow orchestrator documentation.
