Hands-on AI Playbook

Renamed: AI Workflow Framework

The Business-First AI Framework has a new name: AI Workflow Framework. This is purely a renaming — the seven steps, the skills, the slash commands, and the way you use it all stay the same.

Why the rename

Section titled “Why the rename”

“Business-First AI” introduced a second brand sitting alongside “Hands-on AI” — and the framework was being mistaken for the whole site. It isn’t. The framework is one major pillar on Hands-on AI, specifically: a guided methodology for the end-to-end AI workflow lifecycle (Analyze → Deconstruct → Design → Build → Test → Run → Improve).

The name now says what it is.

What didn’t change

Section titled “What didn’t change”
  • The seven steps are unchanged: Analyze, Deconstruct, Design, Build, Test, Run, Improve.
  • The skills are unchanged: analyze, deconstruct, design, build, test, run, improve.
  • The slash commands are unchanged: /handsonai:analyze, /handsonai:deconstruct, etc.
  • The plugin is unchanged: still handsonai.
  • Old URLs redirect: anything under /business-first-ai-framework/* now redirects to /ai-workflow-framework/*. Existing bookmarks keep working.

What did change

Section titled “What did change”
  • URL path: /business-first-ai-framework/ → /ai-workflow-framework/.
  • Framework agent: renamed from framework-orchestrator to framework-agent for consistency. If you’re on manual install, download the new framework-agent.zip from the latest GitHub release.
  • Release artifact: the GitHub release now bundles the framework agent as well as the skills, so manual-install users on ChatGPT, Gemini, M365 Copilot, and Cursor can grab the agent the same way they grab skills.
  • Plugin version: bumped to v3.0.0 (MAJOR — the agent rename is a breaking change for anyone referencing the old framework-orchestrator identifier in scripts or cron jobs). If you call the agent by name anywhere, update it to framework-agent.

Do I need to do anything?

Section titled “Do I need to do anything?”
  • Cloud plugin users (Claude Code, Cowork): your plugin will pick up the new descriptions on its next update. No action needed.
  • Manual install users: re-download the skills you use from the latest release if you want the updated descriptions, and grab the new framework-agent.zip if you use the orchestrator. Otherwise, the old files keep working.
