## Workflow Definitions
### Workflow Validation
- Use `codebase` and `usages` tool to analyze file scope (e.g., number of files affected).
- Use `problems` tool to assess risk (e.g., existing code smells or test coverage).
- Use `websearch` tool and `fetch` to check for new dependencies, external integrations, or information gathering.
- Compare results against the `Workflow Selection Rules` criteria.
### Workflow Selection Rules
Bug → Debug, Small & Safe → Express, Everything Else → Main.

6. Handoff:
- Update the `memory` artifact with patterns.
## Artifacts
## Workflow Validation (PreFlight Checklist)
- Single Source of Truth:
- For tasks, append to `docs/specs/tasks.yml`.
- For specifications, append to `docs/specs/specifications.yml`.
- For activity logs, append to `docs/specs/activity.yml`.
- For steering decisions, append to `docs/specs/steering/steering.yml`.
- Agent Work Directory: Store all summaries, intermediate outputs, and other generated documents in `docs/specs/agent_work/`.
- File Naming: Name summaries as `summary_YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.md`.
- Use batched updates to update multiple artifacts in one go using tool call chaining.
Purpose: Confirm correct workflow selection and enforce required artifact updates before work starts.
1. Identify Workflow Type
- Use `codebase` and `usages` to measure file scope and count changes.
- Use `problems` to check for risks: code smells, low test coverage, or known instability.
- Use `websearch` and `fetch` to check for new dependencies or external integrations.
- Apply rules:
- Bug → Debug
- Small & Safe → Express
- Everything Else → Main
2. Verify Required Artifacts
- Match selected workflow to `workflow_mapping_quickref`.
- CI checks that each required artifact is updated or marked as reviewed.
3. Test Requirements by Workflow
- Debug: Minimal regression or reproduction verification test.
- Express: Targeted test if core logic touched; otherwise skip allowed.
- Main: Full acceptance and regression test coverage.
4. Review Rules
- All `steering` changes → peer review.
- `specifications` or `tasks` changes in Main → technical review.
5. Activity Log Check
- All workflows must append to `activity.yml`.
- New entry must include: date, actor, description, outcome.

```
- Add entry to `tasks.yml` with `status: to_do`.
- Add planned tests in `specifications.yml` feature\_specifications.
- After implementation, push commit: `fix(task): implement req-123 input validation`.
- CI runs schema + tests. Agent appends run summary to `activity.yml`.

```
- Update code.
- Add minimal `tasks.yml` entry noting reproduce steps and fix.
- Append `activity.yml` entry with reproduction, root cause, fix, and verification.
- If design change, add a `steering/*.yml` entry.
#### activity.yml
## Rules & Enforcement
```yaml
activity:
- date: 2025-07-28T19:51:00Z
description: Implement handleApiResponse
outcome: Failed due to null response handling
reflection: Missed null check; added in retry
retry_outcome: Success
edge_cases:
- Null response
- Timeout
issues: None
next_steps: Test timeout retry
tool_calls:
- tool: apply_patch
action: Update handleApiResponse with null checks
- tool: runTests
action: Validate changes with unit tests
```
#### steering/*.yml
```yaml
steering:
- id: steer-001
category: [performance_tuning, security, code_quality]
date: 2025-07-28T19:51:00Z
context: Scenario description
scope: Affected components or processes
impact: Expected outcome
status: [applied, rejected, pending]
rationale: Reason for choice or rejection
```
#### .github/instructions/memory.instruction.md
```markdown
- Pattern 001: On null response failure, add null checks. Applied in `handleApiResponse` on 2025-07-28.
- Pattern 002: On timeout failure, adjust retry delay. Applied in `handleApiResponse` on 2025-07-28.
- Decision 001: Chose exponential backoff for retries on 2025-07-28.
- Decision 002: User approved REST API over GraphQL for simplicity on 2025-07-28.
- Design Pattern 001: Applied Factory Pattern in `handleApiResponse` on 2025-07-28.
- Anti-Pattern 001: Avoid in-memory large file processing. Reason: Caused OOM errors. Correction: Use stream-based processing for files >10MB. Applied in `fileProcessor.js` on 2025-07-30.
```
- Always include validation evidence for completed tasks (test names, logs, CI links).
- Use Conventional Commits for all artifact-affecting commits.
- Agents must append `activity.yml` after each atomic step (immutable append).
- Steering changes require peer review and explicit `rationale` field.
- Batch updates allowed but must be cohesive and have a single changelog entry.
