Workflow Wizard - Pidgeon Health

Pro feature. Requires a Pidgeon account with Post Pro entitlement. It ships with the Post desktop app and the licensed CLI, not the free dotnet tool install build.

Define multi-step clinical scenarios in YAML (admission, orders, results, discharge) with relative timing between steps. Patient data stays consistent across every message in the sequence.

Timing

Delays are relative to scenario start. Supported units: m (minutes), h (hours), d (days). All timestamps across messages are temporally coherent.
