There is no reason to think about team workflows. Focus on your workflow. Your own custom local workflow is basically your competitive advantage as an employee. The moment everyone else can do exactly the same things you do, there is no reason to really keep you around.

The game has changed in the AI era. Horde secrets, skills, custom processes. Don’t share everything. Stop giving things away or you will have nothing left.

If that works for you great but I am where I am in my career by helping everyone I can around me. Making my team and the company better pays dividends and you stand out from people that only work for themselves.

This is now an outdated mentality in the AI era, where people will quickly use whatever you put out to make themselves better but little to no benefit will return to you beyond maybe a fuzzy feeling. People already feel proud just prompting huge projects out and claiming it as their own work. You will not be recognized.

“When a favor becomes too large to repay, the gratitude turns to resentment.”

It sounds like you and I are having very different experiences in the AI era.

Good luck
