Documentation

README

Excerpt

Workflow Start

Primary entry point for spec-superflow. Jobs: inspect change context, check for updates, confirm DP-0, determine state, route to correct skill, block invalid transitions.

Only invoke when spec-superflow context is present: .spec-superflow.yaml exists, artifacts like proposal.md/specs//design.md/tasks.md/execution-contract.md are present, or user explicitly invokes spec-superflow by name. When in doubt, check for .spec-superflow.yaml first.

Do NOT invoke for: general coding tasks outside spec-superflow changes, casual questions, unrelated work.
