Capabilities¶
Controlled vocabulary for reusable capability requirements that canonical workflow patterns depend on.
Source fields¶
- capability_requirements
- capability_requirements[].capability
Usage notes¶
- Capabilities describe reusable abilities required by a pattern, not implementation-specific tools.
- List only the capabilities that are materially necessary for success or control.
- Prefer combining multiple focused capabilities rather than inventing one domain-specific catch-all term.
