Each step is a typed unit that produces named outputs the next steps can read. You pick steps from a palette, configure each one, and the executor runs them in order with cancellation, audit logging, and cost tracking handled for you. Twenty-five step types ship out of the box, across eight categories.

Run one as-is or fork a copy to customize. Fastest path when a starter is close to your job. Describe what you want in a sentence. Vaquill plans the steps, fills the configs, wires the references, and drops you into the builder with an editable draft. Open a blank workflow and chain the step types yourself. ## What a chain looks like A common one runs **Document I/O → Retrieval → Extraction → Verification → Output**: pick the documents, pull the relevant passages, extract structured fields, check that every claim is grounded, then push the result to a matter or a download. Steps are not limited to a straight line. You can branch on a condition, fan a step out across every document, or hand off to a constrained agent. ## Ownership and sharing Workflows are stored per organization. Other members of your org can run any published workflow. Only the owner can edit or delete one. ## Where to go next The palette, the eight categories, step kinds, and how to bind a field to an upstream step's output. Conditional routing, fan-out over documents, and the rules the platform enforces. The three verbs, the validator gates, versioning, and cost estimates. Every validation error, what it means, and how to fix it. ## Keyboard shortcuts | Shortcut | Action | | ---------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | | ⌘K / Ctrl+K | Open the step catalog from anywhere in the builder | | Esc | Close any open dialog or popover | | ↑ / ↓ + Enter | Navigate and commit inside any picker |
