AI Workflow Templates

Docs

A free, open library of end-to-end AI workflow templates. Each one is a documented pipeline with the prompt, the tools it calls, the data it needs, and the guardrails to keep it safe. Drawn from the same operator workflows ARC uses internally: daily briefs, SOWs, RFP responses, RAG, and human-in-the-loop automation. Copy a template, drop in your keys, and run it. No account, no lock-in.

What's in the catalog

16 templates across 8 categories: Automation, Consulting, Content, Extraction, Operations, Quality, Research, Retrieval. Each entry is a full pipeline (prompt, tools, required input, example, guardrails) distilled from ARC Drive materials: Operator AI, the Master Blueprint Labs list, and the portfolio register.

How to use a template

  1. Open any entry and read it top to bottom — the sections build on each other.
  2. Copy the parts you need into your prompt, codebase, diagram, or design doc.
  3. Keep the guardrails and HITL steps. Templates that send, write, or pay never auto-execute.
  4. Adapt names, thresholds, and specifics to your context.

API

Read-only JSON, no key required:

GET  /api/catalog                     # list all
GET  /api/catalog?category=<name>     # filter by category
GET  /api/catalog?slug=<slug>         # a single template
POST /api/dry-run                     # { slug, input } — no model call

Every field is also available in the open content repo.

CLI

npm run catalog                      # list every template
npm run catalog -- "search term"     # search
npm run catalog -- --category="Name"
npm run catalog -- --json            # machine-readable
