pro-workflow

Coordinate multiple Claude Code sessions as a team — lead + teammates with shared task lists, mailbox messaging, and file-lock claiming. Patterns for team sizing, task decomposition, and when to use teams vs sub-agents vs worktrees.

Auto-configure quality gates, hooks, and settings for a new project. Detects project type and sets up appropriate tooling. Use when onboarding a new codebase.

Decompose large-scale changes into independent units and spawn parallel agents in isolated worktrees. Use for migrations, refactors, codemods, and any change touching 10+ files with the same pattern.

Capture a user-reported defect as a durable GitHub issue written in the project's own domain language. Explores the codebase in parallel for context but never leaks file paths or line numbers into the issue. Use when the user reports a bug conversationally, runs a QA pass, or says "file an issue", "log this as a bug", "capture this".

Smart context compaction with state preservation. Saves critical files, task progress, and working state before compaction, restores after. Use before manual compact or when auto-compact triggers.

Master the four operations of context engineering — Write, Select, Compress, Isolate. Manage token budgets, compaction strategies, and context partitioning to keep AI sessions sharp and efficient.

Optimize token usage and context management. Use when sessions feel slow, context is degraded, or you're running out of budget.

Track session costs, set budget alerts, and optimize token spend. Use to check costs mid-session or set spending limits.

Apply interface craft when building or reviewing UI - motion, easing, timing, springs, component feel, and visual foundations. Use when building a component, animation, transition, hover or press state, modal, drawer, toast, or when polishing an interface so it feels right. Says "make this feel better", "add an animation", "polish the UI", "review this component".

Remove AI-generated code slop, unnecessary comments, and over-engineering from the current branch diff. Cleans up boilerplate, simplifies abstractions, strips defensive code, and in skill-file mode lints SKILL.md files for quality. Use when cleaning up code, simplifying, removing boilerplate, before committing, or when reviewing a skill before promoting it.

Build the project's shared language and bounded contexts before writing code, so names stay consistent and the agent stops paraphrasing domain concepts. Produces a CONTEXT.md glossary and decision records. Use at the start of a project or feature, or when the codebase and the people describing it speak different languages.

Configure file watching hooks to auto-react to config changes, env file updates, and dependency modifications. Use to set up reactive workflows.

Audit an area of the codebase and propose the smallest structural moves that improve it - untangle boundaries, kill duplication, fix seams, break cycles. Produces a prioritized plan and decision records, not a rewrite. Use when a codebase feels tangled, hard to change, or is becoming a ball of mud, or when asked to improve or refactor architecture.

Show session analytics, learning patterns, correction trends, heatmaps, and productivity metrics. Computes stats from project memory and session history. Use when asking for stats, statistics, progress, how am I doing, coding history, or dashboard.

Capture a correction or lesson as a persistent learning rule with category, mistake, and correction. Stores, categorises, and retrieves rules for future sessions. Use after mistakes or when the user says "remember this", "don't forget", "note this", or "learn from this".

Provider-agnostic multi-LLM deliberation. Three phases — independent responses, cross-model anonymized ranking, chairman synthesis. Credentials come from explicit plugin configuration or pro-workflow-specific CLI variables. Persists transcript to a wiki page when --wiki <slug> is passed. Use when the user wants multiple AI perspectives, consensus-building, or the "LLM Council" approach for high-stakes reviews, plan critique, or contested learning rules.

LLM-powered quality verification using prompt hooks. Validates commit messages, code patterns, and conventions using AI before allowing operations. Use to set up intelligent guardrails.

Audit connected MCP servers for token overhead, redundancy, and security. Use when sessions feel slow or before adding new MCPs.

Produce a one-screen map of an unfamiliar area of the codebase: entry points, modules, data flow, callers. Designed to be read in fifteen seconds. Use when the user says "I do not know this area", "give me the map", "zoom out", "orient me".

Wire Commands, Agents, and Skills together for complex features. Use when building features that need research, planning, and implementation phases.

Create and manage git worktrees for parallel coding sessions with zero dead time. Use when blocked on tests, builds, wanting to work on multiple branches, context switching, or exploring multiple approaches simultaneously.

Analyze permission prompts and auto mode denials, then generate permission rules and autoMode entries that cut prompt fatigue. Use when prompts keep interrupting, auto mode falls back to prompting, or after sessions with many denials.

Stress-test a plan by walking its decision tree one question at a time. Use when the user wants to pressure-test a design before implementation.

Complete AI coding workflow system. Orchestration patterns, 18 hook events, 8 agents, cross-agent support, reference guides, and searchable learnings. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and 32+ agents.

Surface past learnings relevant to the current task before starting work. Searches correction history, recalls past mistakes, and applies prior patterns. Use when starting a task, saying "what do I know about", "previous mistakes", "lessons learned", or "remind me about".

Prevent destructive operations using Claude Code hooks. Three modes — cautious (warn on dangerous commands), lockdown (restrict edits to one directory), and clear (remove restrictions). Uses PreToolUse matchers for Bash, Edit, and Write.

Generate a structured handoff document capturing current progress, open tasks, key decisions, and context needed to resume work. Use when ending a session, saying "continue later", "save progress", "session summary", or "pick up where I left off".

SkillOpt-flavored offline training loop for any SKILL.md. Treats accumulated learn-rule corrections as training trajectories, proposes bounded patches via an optimizer LLM, gates each candidate against a held-out validation set built from the user's own past corrections, and ships only candidates that demonstrably improve the score. Inspired by Microsoft SkillOpt's ReflACT pipeline (rollout → reflect → aggregate → select → update → evaluate) adapted to pro-workflow's SQLite store. Use when a skill has accumulated 8+ learn-rule rows and the user wants the skill itself to get better, not just longer.

The index of every pro-workflow skill and command, grouped by job, with when to reach for each and whether it is human-run or auto-triggered. Use when you are not sure which skill fits, want the full map, or ask "what can this do", "which skill for X", "list the workflow".

Run quality gates, review staged changes for issues, and create a well-crafted conventional commit. Use when saying "commit", "git commit", "save my changes", or ready to commit after making changes.

Track parallel work sessions and prevent confusion across multiple Claude Code instances. Every major step ends with a status line. Every question re-states project, branch, and task.

Compile a structured literature survey on any AI/ML topic. Agent curates a research bundle (taxonomy + sections + bibliography of real papers) from a public anchor resource, then a chosen LLM generates the survey artifact. Output target is a wiki page (markdown), not a one-off HTML — survey lands in `<wiki>/derived/surveys/<slug>.md` with full bibliography rows in `sources.md`. Provider-agnostic (Anthropic/OpenAI/OpenRouter/Fireworks/custom OpenAI-compat). Use when the user asks for a "survey", "literature review", "lit review", or "deep dive" on a technical topic.

Drive a change through a red-green-refactor loop - failing test first, minimal code to pass, then clean up. Use when implementing a feature or fixing a bug where correctness matters and a test can pin the behavior. Says "TDD", "test first", "red green refactor", "write the test first".

Score every decision point with a Thoroughness Rating (1-10). AI makes the marginal cost of doing things properly near-zero — pick the higher-rated option every time. Includes scope checks to distinguish contained vs unbounded work.

Reduce token waste by 40-60% through anti-sycophancy rules, tool-call budgets, one-pass coding, task profiles, and read-before-write enforcement. Inspired by drona23/claude-token-efficient.

Start, structure, and grow a persistent research wiki indexed in pro-workflow's SQLite knowledge base. Each wiki is a folder of markdown pages with provenance, plus a shadow FTS5 index so any session can recall it. Use when the user says "start a wiki", "add to wiki", "compile a page", "wiki on X", or wants a long-lived knowledge base on a topic, paper, product, person, project, or codebase.

Query pro-workflow wikis via SQLite FTS5 BM25 retrieval. Returns top-K passages with citations. Use when answering a question that any of the user's wikis already covers, when the user says "what does the wiki say about X", "ask wiki", "search wikis", or before drafting a new wiki page (to avoid duplication).

Auto-grow a pro-workflow wiki by running a budget-capped BFS research loop over pluggable source fetchers (web, arXiv, GitHub). Each iteration pops a seed from the queue, fetches sources, drafts a wiki page, dedupes claims against existing pages, enqueues follow-up seeds. Halts on budget cap, depth cap, or convergence. Use when the user says "research <topic>", "grow the <slug> wiki", "auto-research", or wants a knowledge base that builds itself overnight.

Render a self-contained HTML viewer for a pro-workflow wiki. Pages, sources, claims, seed queue, page-link graph and full-text search all in one file. No external dependencies, no JS framework, S3-uploadable. Use when the user wants to browse a wiki visually, share its current state with someone, audit research progress, or hand off a knowledge base. Inspired by Thariq Shihipar's "Unreasonable Effectiveness of HTML" — favors information density and shareability over markdown-only outputs.

End-of-session ritual that audits changes, runs quality checks, captures learnings, and produces a session summary. Use when saying "wrap up", "done for the day", "finish coding", or ending a coding session.
