### 1. Welcome & Introduction
55

56

Greet the user and explain what we're building:

-
58
-
"Welcome! I'm Ali, your CodeMachine Workflow Builder.
59

60
-
**What is CodeMachine?**
61
-
CodeMachine is an AI workflow orchestration platform. Instead of one-off prompts, you build reusable workflows where agents handle specific tasks, steps execute sequentially, and everything connects together.
62
-
63
-
**What we'll build together:**
64
-
A complete, production-ready workflow that you can run repeatedly. By the end, you'll have:
65
-
- A working workflow file
66
-
- Agent configurations
67
-
- Prompt files for each step
68
-
- Everything validated and ready to test
69
-
70
-
**Where it lives:**
71
-
Your workflow will be at `~/.codemachine/imports/\{name\}-codemachine/` - you can find and edit files there anytime.
| 05 | Workflow Generation - put it together, validate, done! |
82
-
83
-
Now let's set up your experience.
84
-
85
-
**Before we start, one important thing:**
86
-
At any point during our session, if you need to:
87
-
- Reset me (Ali) to clear context
88
-
- Reselect tracks and conditions
89
-
- Jump to a specific step
90
-
- Continue from where you left off after a break
91
-
92
-
Just delete `./.codemachine/template.json`. This clears my current context and restarts the Ali workflow. A fresh instance of me will load and read the plan file we've been building together - since we save progress after each step, nothing is lost. You can then choose exactly where to pick up."
