- # Formula Authoring
-
- ## Overview
-
- Create and manage TOML-based Formula templates that define repeatable multi-step workflows. Formulas are cooked into Protomolecules (frozen, ready to instantiate) and then activated as Molecules (durable, checkpoint-able workflows).
-
- ## When to Use
-
- - Defining repeatable workflow templates
- - Creating multi-step processes with variable binding
- - Building workflows that must survive restarts
- - When NDI (Nondeterministic Idempotence) is needed
-
- ## Process
-
- 1. **Define** formula steps and variables in TOML format
- 2. **Validate** formula structure and dependencies
- 3. **Cook** into protomolecule (resolve variables, freeze)
- 4. **Test** by instantiating a trial molecule
- 5. **Register** in the formula library for reuse
-
- ## Formula Lifecycle
-
- ```
- Formula (TOML template) -> Protomolecule (frozen) -> Molecule (active, durable)
- ```
-
- ## Key Concepts
-
- - **Formula**: TOML-based workflow template with variables
- - **Protomolecule**: Frozen template ready to instantiate
- - **Molecule**: Active durable workflow surviving restarts
- - **NDI**: Nondeterministic Idempotence - useful outcomes from unreliable processes
-
- ## Tool Use
-
- Invoke via babysitter process: `methodologies/gastown/gastown-molecule`
