Documentation

README

Excerpt

HARD GATE — HARD GATE — Workflows are orchestration, not automation. Do NOT create workflows for tasks that should be single skills. Workflow complexity must be justified.

Process

Interview: goal, phases, which skills, gates between steps.
Write specs/workflows/<name>.yaml:
- name, command, description, skills[], verify
- Optional: args for skill-specific arguments
Register in state.yaml Active Decisions.
Optional: reference from orchestrate-project Ad-Hoc mode.

Prefer the YAML recipe format over the legacy specs/WORKFLOW-<name>.md markdown format. YAML recipes are command-mappable, machine-readable, and listed in the Standard Recipe Library.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
