carto-create-workflow

CARTO Workflows is a visual DAG authoring app that compiles to warehouse SQL. Each workflow runs inside a connected warehouse — no CARTO compute is involved at execution time. This skill covers the full lifecycle: building the DAG (the bulk of this file), operating it via the CLI (CRUD, schedules), and cross-profile copy (dev → prod promotion, customer-segregated workspaces via carto workflows copy) — see the references below.

Workflows vs Builder — distinct apps. This skill targets Workflows (CARTO's DAG/orchestration app, /workflows/<id> in the URL). Builder is the separate map-authoring app (/builder/<id>). When this skill mentions "the Workflows canvas", "in Workflows", or "the DAG view", that is never Builder — they're different products that share an org and connections but nothing else. Workflow output (a result table with geometry) is typically visualised in Builder afterward; that's the only place the two apps connect.

For one-off ad-hoc SQL, use carto-query-datawarehouse — workflows are for repeatable, scheduled, multi-step DAGs.

Bundle structure, component schemas, input formats, and gotchas are all served by the CLI — never hardcode or assume them. The CLI is the source of truth.
