Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing how Warp currently represents and runs workflows, then define the interaction and state requirements before identifying an implementation area. Done would mean a workflow can request input repeatedly, preserve state, and branch to subsequent actions.

I would like to create an interactive workflow,
that asks me for input multiple times,
and modifies itself based on my responses.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Work to me is a series of commands with a limited set of available decisions between commands.
It would be nice if warp supported this model of working.

For example, I have a workflow that returns some information for a customer,
parameterized by the customer's name.
After I run this workflow, I'll do one of two things:
- draft an email to that customer
- open that customer's AWS dashboard

So after running the workflow,
I'd like to input either "a" or "b" to accomplish my next action.
It would be nice for the workflow to maintain state and accept input.

This is a simple example.
Many of my commonly performed tasks will involve over three decision points.
Additional context

I'm putting this at importance 4, not because I really need it,
But because I'm considering writing a framework that will let me generate such workflows myself
(and obviously it would be better if Warp had native integration :)

How important is this feature to you?
