## When NOT to use workflow

- Last GitHub push was 1692 days ago (dormant maintenance, Nov 26, 2021). Validate activity before betting a new project on workflow.
- Data & Retrieval: Skip a heavy ingestion framework when your corpus is small and static; a script plus the embedding API is enough.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.

## Common questions

### What are the best alternatives to workflow?

Graph-backed alternatives to workflow include Scrapling, Agent-Reach, awesome, awesome-claude-code, awesome-claude-skills. GraphCanon ranks them by typed relationship edges and constraint overlap from decision_facts - not marketing votes or raw star sort.

### How does GraphCanon rank workflow alternatives?

Direct alternative and successor edges from the knowledge graph come first, ordered by edge type and shared constraint facets (persona, runtime, hosting). Category neighbours fill the list only after curated edges. Stars are shown for context, not as the primary sort.

### When should I avoid workflow?

Last GitHub push was 1692 days ago (dormant maintenance, Nov 26, 2021). Validate activity before betting a new project on workflow. Data & Retrieval: Skip a heavy ingestion framework when your corpus is small and static; a script plus the embedding API is enough.
