NiFi Flow Layout

Use this universal skill when any Apache NiFi flow must be readable a year later: clear names, useful comments, compact vertical flow, and connections that do not cross blocks. The skill has no environment-specific defaults: pass the NiFi URL, credentials/certificates, and target process group explicitly.

Workflow

1. Inspect first
   • Read the target process group through NiFi REST.
   • Save a JSON snapshot before changing anything.
   • Run audit/dry-run before apply.
