# Vast.ai Core Workflow B

## Overview
Secondary workflow for Vast.ai. Complements the primary workflow.

## Prerequisites
- Completed `vastai-install-auth` setup
- Familiarity with `vastai-core-workflow-a`
- Valid API credentials configured

## Instructions

### Step 1: Setup
```typescript
// Step 1 implementation
```

### Step 2: Process
```typescript
// Step 2 implementation
```

### Step 3: Complete
```typescript
// Step 3 implementation
```

## Output
- Completed Core Workflow B execution
- Results from Vast.ai API
- Success confirmation or error details

## Error Handling
| Aspect | Workflow A | Workflow B |
|--------|------------|------------|
| Use Case | Primary | Secondary |
| Complexity | Medium | Lower |
| Performance | Standard | Optimized |

## Examples

### Complete Workflow
```typescript
// Complete workflow example
```

### Error Recovery
```typescript
// Error handling code
```

Overview

This skill executes Vast.ai secondary workflow: Core Workflow B. It complements the primary workflow by handling secondary use cases and optimized execution paths. Use it to run follow-up tasks after initial provisioning or to implement lower-complexity, high-performance job flows.

How this skill works

The workflow checks that Vast.ai credentials and the initial setup (vastai-install-auth) are present, then runs a three-step sequence: setup, process, and complete. It calls the Vast.ai API to perform the requested secondary operations, collects results, and returns a success confirmation or structured error details. Built-in checks and error classification help route recoveries or retries when needed.

When to use it

After completing the primary Vast.ai workflow to run complementary tasks
When implementing secondary job flows with lower complexity and higher optimization
To automate follow-up provisioning, monitoring, or teardown steps
When you need a lightweight, predictable path for repeatable operations
During CI/CD pipelines that separate primary provisioning from secondary work

Best practices

Ensure vastai-install-auth and valid API credentials are configured before running
Familiarize yourself with Core Workflow A to understand dependencies and handoffs
Use idempotent operations where possible to simplify retries and error recovery
Log API responses and structured errors to speed debugging and observability
Validate output payloads before triggering downstream processes

Example use cases

Trigger a secondary compute task on Vast.ai after the initial VM cluster is provisioned
Run a fast, optimized processing step that complements a longer primary training job
Execute automated teardown and resource cleanup after test runs
Collect and normalize API results from secondary tasks for reporting
Implement a lightweight monitoring or snapshot routine following deployment

FAQ

Do I need to run the primary workflow first?

Yes. Core Workflow B expects the primary setup (Core Workflow A and vastai-install-auth) to be complete so dependencies and credentials are available.

What happens on API errors?

The skill returns structured error details and a suggested recovery path; use logged responses to implement retries or fallback handlers.
